The medicinal wines of cocoa and the pow erful alkaloids and nerve stimulants, co caine and hygrine. are prepared from the leaves of erythroxylon coca, a shrub indigenous to Peru and Bolivia, wholly different to theobroma cacao, a small but beautiful tree, which grows luxuri antly both wild and cultivated in fhe northern parts of South America, On- - tral America.

It was infcno- duced into Europe as early as aftid has since lieen more or less extensively used in every civilised eon airy. Uin- mens waa so fond of it that he gave to the tree from which it was obtained the name «f Theobroma—food for the gods. Chocolate and cocoa are only two lorms of the same snbstance. , HOW COCOA IS OUTAIXED. The tree twice a year yields a crop of reddish spongy fruit, shaped somewhat like a cucumber. ^The ripe fruit Is-ing collected at the decline of the moon, the tree continues its jield for twenty or thirty years. Each fruit or pod con- stains from six to fifty beaus—usually about twenty—and there arc* from ten to twenty poumls of such l>eans from each tree at each crop The Iteans are astully about the size of large almonds. They are frequently (from a confusion of language) called indifferently “Iwans,” ••seeds,” “nuts.” “berries." and •‘fruits," but their character will be better imder- •tood by regarding them as l>euns out- tamwl within a pod. They an* gener ally picked out and dried for exporta tion.* Besides the liesns the phlp contains a srsamy and cordial juice, and by Kb-atu- ing and pressing the lwans will yield one-third of their weight of a kind of bnttsr to which tbs richness of cocoa is COLUMBIA, S.

The French limit themselves to the use of the word “chocolate,” derived from the Mexican name of the plant tchocolatl): they seldom speak of “cocoa.” What are called “cocoa nibs” are the beans roughly crushed. “Flake cocoa," ‘also, is another name for the Wans when crushed between rollers, but before any thing else has been added to them. The busk ot the seed after roasting con tains a good deal of nutriment: indeed, so do. the pods likewise, and all three are more or lees jised in making cheap cocoa. The plant is certainly used in more ways than coffee—drank as a thick decoc* tion (made to somewhat resemble gruel), made into various confections and pas tries, eaten as bonbons, etc.—while a poor decoction is drank in some places by boiling the husks separated from the beana While chocolate and cocoa contain an essentia) principle, theobromine, com parable to caffeine and theine—fhe alka loids of coffee and tea—it is much less 2>otent as a disturber of the nervous sys tem: and chocolate and cocoa are pro portionally more welcome as a beverage, besides possessing specially nutritive qualities, which render t|iem much more sustaining than tea.—‘Dr. H.
