Summary This interesting mid-18th centuryℓtreatise on foods contains substantial information on the medicinal uses of chocolate. According to the text, it helps with digestion and recovers "decay'd strength." In one anecdote, an infertileℓwoman treated with chocolate went on to bear several children. Chocolate is also recommended for old people (especially in the winter).ℓThe author does cautionℓthat chocolate "hinders people to sleep."ℓIn recompense, it "promotes venery" (sexual indulgence).
