1888 Fry's Cocoa

The seated woman is in an "invalid's chair." Cocoa was marketed as being beneficial to "invalids."



Here, have some cocoa while your friend cavorts with a parasol and your dog stares longingly at the tray!

It probably wouldn't help the invalid's condition, but the antioxidants are still good for her. It took awhile for chocolate to come full circle and become a health food again, but it has. Hallelujah!

It's a mobile bed! That thing beats a wheelchair all to hell. And now I need some cocoa...

I wonder if she's having the happy, happy fun version of hot cocoa there.
