lies. In which all the sums in the first four rules arc set in

CAPTAIN PIDDING'S HOWQUA'S MIXTURE, of
40 rare Black Teas, and HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF
GUNPOWDER, in Chinese Catty Packages. The Sole
Proprietor of the above celebrated Teas is Captain JOHN
RHODES PIDDING. Every genuine Package bears his Signa-
ture. All others are spurious. e unwholesome trash
pirated under similar titles renders its precaution necessary.
PIRACY ! CA lON ! 1
rih
Captain Pidding made eight vo) ges 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,
"That Captain Pidding's ' Hownu A's MIXTURE' is a Tea
of a peculiar flavour, and composed of many varieties of
black teas, all of the finest quality ; that it has a character
peculiar to itself—A FINE NATURAL AROMA. And
"That ' HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER' is Gun-
powder Tea of the very finest quality, and that such Tea
could not be bought in the market."
" W. Styan."
1 'Sworn at the Public Office, Chancery-lane,
this Bth day of May, 1837, before me,
" Filed Bth of May, 1837." " N. W. SENIOR."
It was also proved on oath, that Captain Pidding's Teas
were supplied for the Royal use.
Dr. Johnson, late Physician to Geo. IV., consid&s this
the best of Teas, and uses no other. As Author of " The
1 Economy of Health," &c., his testimony is invaluable, he
I writes thus

" Suffolk-place, London, Nov. 22, 1837.
" SIR, —Ever since your flowqua's Mixture' Tea was
first introduced, myself and family have used it, indeed only
it, and we have no hesitation in giving it the preference to
all others. " Yours, &c.,

"To Capt. Pidding." "JAMES JOHNSON, M.D."
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
name of the richest and the most esteemed of the Hong
Merchants, which-had been very much and very deservedly
prized, and Captain Pidding's Howqua's Mixture' has now
become
" THE STANDARD TEA IN THIS COUNTRY.'

It is impossible to furnish more ponclusive proof of its su-
periority.
The term " standard" comprehends every good quality.
These Teas consist of Captain Pidding's " HOWQUA'S
MIXTURE" (Black Tea) at 6s. per lb., is Bs. the Catty Pack-
age. " HowttuA's SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER," at Bs. nil.
per lb., is Ils. Gd. the Catty Package. Each Package con-
tains 111). and one-third nett of Tea.
C. VERRET, 218, Regent-street ; and T. LITTLEJOHN, 77,
King William-street, City, are Sole Agents for London.
Again, observe ! all genuine packages are signed,
