      HOMCEOPATHTC COCOA PREPARED BY T 4 YLOR BROTHERS , ( The most extensive manufacturers of Cocoa in Europe . ) _ This original and exquisite preparation , combining , in an eminent degree , the pureness , nutriment , and fine aroma of the fresh nut , is prepared under the most able homoeopathic advice , with the matured skill and experience of TAYLOR BROTHERS , the inventor ? . A delicious and wholesome beverage to all ; it is a most essential article of diet , and especially adapted to those under homoeopathic treatment . It is not cloying to the appetite , and agrees with the most delicate and irritable digestive organs . It is purifying to the blood , soothing and agreeable to the nerou 3 system , lubricating to the alimentary canal , and proves , at the same time , invigorating and refreshing . TAYLOR BROTHERS confidently challenge comparison between this and any of the so-called homoeopathic cocoa offered to the public . A single trial will suffice . Observe , particularly , upon each packet , the name , TA Y LOR BROTH E RS , LO N DON , whose advantages over other makers arises from the paramount extent of their manufacture ; larger experience , greater command of markets , matured judgment in selection , and skill in preparation , enabling them to offer every kind of plain and fancy COCOA AND CHOCOLATE , aa regards both quality and price , upon unequalled terms . They are also inventors and exclusive proprietors of the SOLUBLE AND DIETETIC COCOAS . The latter is strongly recommended by the faculty to invalids , convalescents , and dyspeptics , as most nutritious and easy of digestion , and being free from the exciting properties of tea and coffee , makes it a most desirable refreshment after a late &vening . All other makes of these are spurious imitations . These standard Preparations , which WILL KEEP GOOD IN ANY CLIMATE , may be had , wholesale , at the Mills , 211 , BRICK-LANE , LONDON , and retail from all Grocers , Tea Dealers , and Oilmen . CAUTION . —To prevent disappointment see that the name " Taylor Brothers" is upon every packet , there being many vile noxious imitations of the SOLUBLE and DIETETIC COCOAS calculated to bring Cocoa into disrepute .

      CUKES FOR THE UNCUBED t HOLLO WAY'S OINTMENT . —An extraordinary Cure of Scrofula or Kino ' s TSvi ! . Extract of a Letter from Mr . J . H . Aliiuay , 209 , High-street , Cheltenham , dated the 22 nd of January , 1850 . To Professor Hollow ay . " Sir , —My eldest son , when about three years of age . was afflicted with a Glandular Swelling in ' the neck , which , after a short time . broke out into an Ulcer . An eminent medical man pronounced it as a very bad case of Scrofula , and prescribed for a considerable time without effect . The disease then for four years went on gradually increasing in -virulence , when , besides the ulcer in the neck , another formed below the left knee , and a third under the eye , besides seven others on the left arm , with a tumour between the eye 3 , which was expected to break . During the whole of the time my suffering boy had received the constant advice of the most celebrated medical Gentlemen at Cheltenham , besides being for several months at the General Hospital , where one of the Surgeons said that he would amputate the left arm , but that the blood was so impure that , if that limb were taken off , it would be then even impossible to subdue the disease .. In this desperate state I determined to give your Pills and Ointment a trial , and , after two months' perseverance in their use , the tumour gradually began to disappear , and the lischarge from all the ulcers perceptibly decreased , and at the expiration of eight months they were perfectly healed , and the boy thoroughly restored to the blessings of health , to the astonishment of a large circle of acquaintances , who could testify to the truth of this miraculous case . Three years have now elapsed without any recurrence to the malady , and the boy is now as healthy as heart can wish . Under these circumstances I consider that 1 should be truly ungrateful were I not to make you acquainted with this wonderful cure , effected by your medicines , after every other means had failed .
