A. GREAT SAVING TO TEA-DRINKERS.
It is a most astonishing fact that the celebrated PIQUA
PLANT is now sold at 3s. 6d. per lb., and is three times the
strength of Tea, and is also equal in flavour, more delicate in taste,
infinitely more healthy, as is proved by physicians and chemists of
high standing, as Dr. Bryant, &c., also by persons in great num.
hers with the most delicate lungs and stomachs, and yet many per-
sons have not tried nor ever heard of this celebrated morning and
evening beverage. It is most pleasant and invigorating, and is
recommended to the debilitated for its invaluable qualities, to ad-
vanced age for its strengthening properties, and to the public
generally for its moderate price and intrinsic excellence.
It neither has the stimulating and heating effect of Coffee, nor
the nervously exciting effect of Tea, and is more strengthening
than Porter, without the deleterious effects, while it is beneficial
to the whole nervous and circulating systems.
Pim Test—the proof of the efficacy and healthful effect of the
plant in preference to Tea or Coffee.—Let a nervous or dyspeptic
patient use two or three cups of strong Tea upon retiring to rest,
and the effect will he nightmare, disturbed sleep, and other violent
symptoms of indigestion, &c.
The Proof—let the most debilitated, dyspeptic, asthmatic, con-
sumptive, and nervous patients use two, three, or more cups of a
very strong infusion of the Piqua Plant, and in the morning they
will awake refreshed with their repose. It is highly recommended
by Physicians to Invalids and Children, as a most invigorating and
pleasant beverage.
The following are reasons why the Plant is superior to Tea,
viz ;--
Ist. Because it is beneficial to health.
2d. It does not injure the nerves.
:3d. It does not prevent sleep.
4th. Children may use it with advantage to health.
sth. It is strengthening and nutritious.
6th. A quarter of a pound will go as far as three-quarters of a
pound of the best Gunpowder Tea.
7th. It is recommended by Physicians, and Tea is disapproved
of by them.
Sir,—The beverage sold by you, under the name of Piqua Plant, I
have drank for some time; it was first recommended to my notice as a
salutary beverage by a friend who is a great dyspeptic, and I have
since recommended it to several patients suffering from Chronic
affections of the Digestive Organs, Heart, and Lungs, with manifest
advantage. And am, Sir, yours, Sec.,

To Mr. W. Evans.

Numerous Testimonials from Physicians and others of undoubted
authority may be seen at the Depot. The Plant is patronised by
many of the first families in the land. _ .

The amount in economy derived from the nse of the Piqua Plant,
compared with Tea, is as follows :-.—Suppose a family using one lb.
of Tea per week, worth 4s. per lb., substitutes the Plant at 3s. 6d.
per lb., which requires but one-third the quantity to make the in.
fusion of equal strength, the saving would be, per week, 35., and
the cost to the family Is., instead of 45.; for one-third of a lb. of the
Plant will go as far as one lb. of Tea.
