THE SECRET OF ITS SUCCESS. There is no doubt that we live in an age of worry and excitement, anti as the struggle for existence is anything but conducive to good digestion or an appetite that can relish anything, the palate of the average work-a-day individual has to be tickled and tempted in a variety of ways. We are often lectured about the evil effects of an overindulgence in tea or coffee, not to mention intoxicating liquors, until many people are bewildered what to turn to for a beverage, which shall be at once agreeable to the taste, and supply the desired nourishing and stimulating qualities. Public attention has been freely drawn to the merits of Dr. Tibbles’ Vi-Cocoa, as supplying a long-felt want in this direction. It is not simply a cocoa, but a preparation of two or three other ingredients, which give it great nutritive and invigorating qualities. It is, therefore, not merely a pleasant beverage, but a food and tonic in the bargain. Its success has certainly been phenomenal, and that is perhaps the best warranty for the claim made on its behalf, that Vi-Cocoa ‘has the refreshing properties of tine tea, the nourishment of the best cocoas, a tonic and recuperative force possessed by neither, and can be used in all cases where tea and coffee are prohibited.’ Dr. Tibbles’ Vi-Cocoa is neither a medicine nor a mere thirst-assuager. It is a food at the same time that it is a beverage, and thus answers a double purpose in the building up of the human constitution, and must render it highly serviceable to everybody, especially the workers in mills and shops of various kinds among whom tea has hitherto been so excessively drunk; while it has the further advantage apparently of being easily digested and of agreeing with the most delicate stomach. Dr. Tibbles’ Vi-Cocoa, in BJd packets and 1/1 and 2/2 tins, can be obtained from all Chemists, Grocers, and Stores, or from Dr. Tibbles' Vi-Cocoa, Limited, 2fi9 George-street, Sydney. As a test of its merits, a dainty sample tin of Dr. Tibbles’ Vi-Cocoa will be sent free on application to any address, if, when writing ((a postcard will do), the read-
