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

HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER,

IN CHINESE CATTY PACKAGES.
CAPTAIN PIDDING, having made Eight Voyages to
China, embraced the opportunity, when at Canton, of
securing to himself the exclusive importer -
of these Teas,
and he supplies them to the Public thr one Agent in
each Town.

GEORGE CARLYLE, Repository, 86, 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-
forl 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 HOWQUA'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."
j "Sworn at the Public Office, Chancery-lane,
"W. Styan." 1 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 giying it the preference to

all others. "YOurs, &c.,
"To Capt. Pidding." "JAias JOHNSON, M.D.
Its superior excellence is further proved by G. Sigmond,
M.D., F.L.S., &c., who, in dlecture 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 " Howatra's MIXTURE" (Black
Tea) at 6s. per lb., or Bs. the Catty Package. " HOWQUA'S
SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER," at Bs. 7d. per lb., is lls. 6d.
the Catty Package. Each Package contains 11b. and one-
third nett of Tea.

CAUTION !—The names of C. VERREY, 218, Regent-street,
and LITTLEsoniv and SON, 77, King William-street, City,
sole Agents for London, are upon every Gentine Catty. All
others are spurious.
Capt. Plopixo having purchased the whole of the ASSAM
TEA, Samples may be had of his Agents at 2s. 6d. each.
