The choicest roasted nibs ( broken- up beam) of the natural Cocoa on being subjected to powerful hydraulic pressure, give forth their excess of oil, leaving for use a finely- flavoured powder—" Cocoaine," a product which, when prepared with hoiling water, has the con- sistence of tea, of which it is now, with many, beneficially taking the place. Its active principle being a gentle nerve stimulant, supplies the needed energy without unduly exciting the system. Sold oDly in labelled tins.
