Advertisement for Epps's (Breakfast) Cocoa, 1890. 'GRATEFUL - COMFORTING. EPPS'S (BREAKFAST) COCOA. "By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the fine properties of well-selected Cocoa, Mr. Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctors' bills. It is by the judicious use of such articles of diet that a constitution may be gradually built up until strong enough to resist every tendency to disease. Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating around us ready to attack wherever there is a weak point. We may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified with pure blood and a properly nourished frame." - On Diet, in the "Civil Service Gazette." "Manufacture of Cocoa. - We will now give an account of the process adopted by Messrs. James Epps and Co., manufacturers of dietetic articles, at their works in Holland Street, Blackfriars, London." - See Article in "Cassell's Household Guide." MADE SIMPLY WITH BOILING WATER OR MILK. Sold in Packets, by Grocers, labelled JAMES EPPS & CO., Homoeopathic Chemists, LONDON'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
