PIRACY CAUTIOIV ! !

Captain Pidding made eight voyages to China ; in securing
the exclusive importation of these Teas, and if purchasers
will notice his signature, they will avoid counterfeits.
In an action brought by. Captain Pidding, against a person
who counterfeited his packages, it was proved, before the
Vice-Chancellor, on the affidavit of Mr. Styan, a broker of 27
years' experience, employed to test these Teas,

It was also proved on oath, that Captain Pidding's Teas
were supplied for the Royal use.

the best of Teas, and uses no other. As Author of " The
Economy of Health," &c., his testimony is invaluable, he
writes thus :

first introduced, myself and family have used it, indeed only

all others. " Yours, &c.,

Dr. Sigmond, M.D., F.L.S., in a lecture on tea, lately
delivered before the Medico-Botanical Society, stated, " That
since the opening of the trade, new varieties of Tea had been
brought to England, and, in particular, a Tea under the
