The cordial reception with which my applications have been

LONDON GENUINE TEA COMPANY,
No. 23, Ludgate-Hill, London, •
Directly uppwite the London Cotree-house.

THE LONDON GENUINE TEA COll-
PAM' beg leave to call the serious attention of the
Public to the pi (weeding% which arc now in progress in his
Majesty's: Court of Exchequer. They will see, that in the
Sittings since Term, verdicts for penalties to a large amount
have liven (mind against various Tea and Coffee Dealers, both
in•towii:and country, "and that one wholesale manufacturer
liar suffered judgment to go against him by default. This
person combined, with the business of an Imitative Tea maker,
that of a Blacking manufacturer, and, no doubt, used many
of, the same ingredients in the manufacture of his black
Tea, to which be had recourse for giving lustre to the
`boots and shoes of his Customers, such as copperas, Prus-
sian blue, &c. &e.—Well might the Attorney-General ob•
serve, as tie did, " that it would be well for the Gentlemen
who dwelt in these articles to combine with their other bu-
siness that of chemiits and druggists, as their advantage
would then be double;'fitst, in selling the poison to make
their customers sick, and then in selling the drugs to make
them well again." "
The London Genuine Tea Company trust they need not re-
peat their pledge, that the Public shall continue to be stir
plied with TEA in its pure and unadulterated state at their
Establishment , and they beg to observe, that from the very
extensive purchases they have made, they are enabled to offer
most excellent Teas (particularly a seven shilliog Black), of
even superior quality to those which have already gained
them so great a share of public patronage. Their Friends
are requested to observe,. the Number of their House is 23,
directly raving the London Cvdee-tiouse.
