CADBURY'S COCOA

ABSOLUTELY PURE THEREFORE BEST.

The late editor of the Sanitary Review, writing on "The Consumption of Cocoa," warns the public against the use of foreign cocoas containing alkali, and makes the following allusion to the firm of CADBURY BROTHERS:-"It is the aim and practice of this famous firm to send out cocoa absolutely pure, of the highest quality which art will permit."

NO CHEMICALS USED.

EDINBURGH, May 31, 1889.
DEAR SIR.-I have just returned
from a six weeks' stay at the Ben
Nevis Observatory, and while there
had an opportunity of test-
ing the admirable qualities
of your new "Watkin"
Aneroid. The result has
been most satisfactory, the
extreme error noted being
only about 8 of an inch.
During my stay at the Ob-
servatory the Aneroid was
frequently tested by taking

it down 2000 feet and then
comparing it with the stan-
dard on my return. The
results obtained speak vol-
umes for the high class
workmanship and great ac-
curacy you have attained
in the manufacture of this
instrument.
