In “The Way of the Woods—­A Manual for Sportsmen” Edward Breck, the author, says: 

“Chocolate is now regarded as a very high-class food on account of its nutritive qualities. * * * * * A half cake will keep a man’s strength up for a day without any other food.  I never strike off from camp by myself without a piece of chocolate in my pocket.  Do not, however, have anything to do with the mawkishly sweet chocolates of the candy shops or the imported milk chocolate, which are not suited for the purpose.  We have something better here in America in Walter Baker & Co.’s “Dot” brand, which is slightly sweetened.”

This is the freshly roasted bean cracked into small pieces.  It contains no admixture, and presents the full flavor of the cocoa-bean in all its natural fragrance and purity.  When properly prepared, it is one of the most economical drinks.  Dr. Lankester says cocoa contains as much flesh-forming matter as beef.
