nfortunate
deficiencies in his character, he might have risen to great heights
in his profession. He had abilities of no common order, and he had
a "taking" way that was very fascinating. Even those who knew his
failings, and could hardly accord him their _respect_, could not help
_liking_ the man. His somewhat untimely and sudden death caused much
regret. On the morning of September 23rd, 1867, in accordance with
his usual practice, he went for a ride on horseback, returning to his
house in Sir Harry's Road about half-past ten. Feeling somewhat faint,
he retired to his room; a fit of apoplexy supervened. Mr. Samuel
Berry, and Mr. Oliver Pemberton, were hastily summoned. On their
arrival, Smith was found to be insensible, and by twelve o'clock at
noon he had ceased to breathe. He was in his 49th year.

CADBURY'S

COCOA ESSENCE,

_PURE, SOLUBLE, REFRESHING._

"Cocoa treated thus, will, we expect, prove to be one of the most
nutritious, digestible, and restorative of drinks."--_British Medical
Journal._

"The Essence of Cocoa is just what it is declared to be by Messrs.
Cadbury Brothers."--_The Lancet._

"We strongly recommend Cadbury's Cocoa Essence as a diet for
Children."--_Mirror._

"Those who wish for pure Cocoa in a convenient form should obtain the
Cocoa Essence.--_Nature._

"The Cocoa Essence is an agreeable and economical preparation; a little
of it goes a great way."--_The Medical Times and Gazette._

One tea-spoonful makes a breakfast cup of stronger and better Cocoa than
two tea-spoonfuls of any "prepared" Cocoa that thickens in the cup.
