In the House of Commons Com-mons this last session the ltlght Hon, (, J, Cost hen, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, called attention to It a a cause for much of tho falling oil of the mo of colTce. He attributed It In a measure to the otltlou a Preparation of cocoa known os'dratcful and omfortlng" had taken. In accord with this suggestion It may bo Interesting- to follow tbe course cocoa has taken lu Knglatid since ltsii'2, when the duty which had teen standing stand-ing at I'd. per lb., with an Importation of under half a million pounds, was reduced to !!d per lb., and not long alter we find tho homocopatb'c doctrine of medicine Intro, duced luto the kingdom, and that the use of cocca was speclallv advocated by pbjslclans adopting that modo of practice. oon after we find the first homoeopathic chemist established in Kuglund (tho firm of James Klips ii Co.) produced a special preparation, which only needed boiling water or milk to be at once ready for the table, and the superior super-ior character of this production has, no doubt, done muth, as tbe Chancellor of tha Exchequer said, to bring about (backed as It wo by a further reduction of tbe duty to id. per lb.) the advance made." |
