AS SUPPLIED To' THE ROYAL TABLE.
HOWQUA'S MIXTURE,
OF FORTY RARE BLACK TEAS, AND

HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER,
ti
IN CHINESE CATTY P CHAGES.
CAPTAIN PIDDING, having d e Eight Voyages to
China, embraced the opport *ty, when at Canton, of
securing to himself the exclusive iMportation of these Teas,
and he supplies them to the Public through one Agent in
each Town.

GEORGE CARLYLE, Repository, 38, Bold-street, sole
Agent for Liverpool.
In an action brought by Captain Pidding, against a person
who counterfeited his title and packages, it was proved, be-
fore the Vice-Chancellor, on the affidavit of Mr. Wm. Styan,
an eminent broker, of twenty-seven years' experience, em-
ployed to test the merits of these Teas.
" That Captain Pidding's How au A's MIXTURE' is a Tea
Of 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."
,Chancery-lane,
"Sworn at the Public Office
W. styan.,,
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., considers this
the best of Teas, and uses no other. As Author of " The
Economy of Health," &c., his testimony is invaluable, he
writes thus :

" Nov. 22, 1837.

" SIR, Ever since your , Howqua'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."
Its superior excellence is further proved by G. Sigmond,
M.D., F.L.S., &c., who, in a lecture on Tea, delivered, on
the 14th of November, before the Medico Botanical Society,
stated, " The Hong Merchants used not, generally, to de-
liver, for exportation, their finest sorts of Teas. It was
proved by the fact, that, since the opening of the trade, new
varieties 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 the Howqua Mixture' has now be-
come ' A STANDARD TEA IN THIS COUNTRY.' "
It is impossible to furnish more conclusive proof of its su-
periority.
The term " standard" comprehends every good quality.
These Teas consist of " 1-lowQuA's MIXTURE" (Black
Tea) at 6s. per lb., or Bs. the Catty Package. " HownuA's
SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER," at Bs. 7d. per lb., is lls. 6d.
the Catty Package. Each Package contains lib. and one-
third nett of Tea.
CAUTION !—The names of C. VERREY, 218, Regent-street,
and LrrrLie.yonN and SON, 77, King William-street, City,
sole Agents for London, are upon every Genuine Catty. All
others are spurigus.

EXTENSIVE AND IMPORTANT AGENCY FOR
LIVERPOOL.

NOMINATION OF ONE AGENT,
For the Exclusive Sale of the famed PORT WANES, in
Chests of 3 Dozen each, Bottled at Oporto, at the Wine
Lodges of the ancient ortuguese Firm of WYE and Co.,
Oporto.
S. WALSH and CO., LONDON, Sole Consignees in
VVu • Great Britain for WYE'S pure and exquisite PORT
WINES, Bottled at Oporto, are ready to receive Tenders,
from Merchants or Traders of respectability and standing in
Liverpool, for the EXCLUSIVE SALE of these celebrated
PORT WINES, in consequence of the universal call which
prevails for them throughout the kingdom. To uphold the
legitimate character of Port Wine—to extirpate the frauds
and venal practices of avaricious Wine Purveyors—to insure
to the community the unsullied growths of the Alto-Douro—
to confirm the views of the greatest philosophers and phy-
sicians as to the virtues and congenial principles of Port
Wine ; these have been the impelling motives in urging W.
S, Walsh and Co. to adopt the Bottling Port V at
Oporto, rendered the more imperative since the British
Wine Markets have, of late years, become the sink for every
red liquor, imported and sold as Wine, under coined and
delusive names, contaminating the judgment, depraving the
palate, and undermining the constitution. The Camoens,
being the twenty-ninth ship from Oporto, has arrived in the
port of Liverpool, with these Port Wines, in the Portuguese
Cases, of 3 dozen each. Price, in bond, £4 per Case ; duty
paid, Six Guineas.

Address, (post-paid,) Mr. S. WALSH, at the Liverpool
Standard-office.

sight declared to be completely destroyed ; can now see to

The above are only a very few of the cases I can give as
reference, and may appear to persons at a distance so extra-
ordinary, and almost impossible, that I particularly request
every one intending to come under my cafe, if they have
friends in any of the above-named places, to write and re-
quest them to call on every case, to know whether the above
statements be true or false.
The remedy is of the simplest kind : it requires no restric-
tion as to diet and reigimen : bleeding or blistering is riot
necessary ; and it may be administered with safety to the
tenderest infant.
