PEOPLE YOU KNOW.
No. Y.—THE DOCTOR.
Dr. T. JEL Smith, Boyal Colonial Insti
tute, writes:—"I have much pleasure in
.testifying to the superior qualities of your
Vi-Cocoa over any similar preparation in
the market. I do this willingly and un
solicited, as I consider it a great boon to
the public. I have personally experimented
with the cocoas in the market, and find
that the great drawback to all of them was
the slow process of indigestion and assimi
lation. The diastase in the Malt not only
assists digestion in your "Vi-Cocoa, but it
also accelerates the digestion of other foods
that are taken with the Yi-Cocoa. This I
have personally tested, and can therefore
speak from actual experience. Its won
derful recuperative power after exhaus
tion from fatigue is marvellous."
No article of consumption has ever
equalled the speedy popularity of Dr. Tib
bies' Yi-Cocoa. We should think there are
remarkably few houses, if any, where it is
not now in use. Dr. Tibbies' Yi-Cocoa
has positively popularised cocoa as a beve
rage; many people who never could make
a habit of cocoa drinking, and only took a
cup qn a' rare occasion, are now regular
drinkers of Vi-Cocoa. This is unquestion
ably a benefit from a public health point
of view; as tea, however refreshing and
beneficial when taken in moderation, has
baneful effects when used excessively, as
has too long been common. The progress
of Dr. Tibbies' Yi-Cocoa has been quite
phenomenal all over the country. It has
been a steady and rapid advance, show
ing that people after getting it once
wanted fit regularly. Its praises are sound
ed on every hand, and tradesmen unani
mously testify to its growing sales, and
the continual demand for the wonderful
food beverage, which form, even to the
veriest sceptics, convincing proofs of the
hold it has taken in public favor.
Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa, in 8Jd. packets
and Is. Id. and 2s. 2d. tins, can be obtain
ed from all. Chemists, Grocers, and Stores,
or from Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa, Limited,
269, George-street, Sydney.
As an unparalleled test of merit a. dainty
sample tin of Dr. Tibbies' Yi-Cocoa will be
sent free on application to any address
.if when writing (a postcard will do) the
reader will name the Adelaide "Adver
tiser," "Chronicle," or "Express."
