-1 APT AIN PIDDING'S HOWQUA'S MIXTURE
kJ TEA is an admixture of 40 rare Black Teas, produced
on as many different plantations, each Tea differing from
the rest, and possessing a flavour, a fragrance, or strength,
peculiar to itself. Blended together in the proper pro-
portions, they comprise all that is desirable in Tea. This
discovery was not the effect of chance, but of many great
advantages united in one individual, and the result of
numerous experiments and ,the most minute analysis.
For another to produce the'same result, he must possess
equal skill, the same disefiminating taste, equal power of
procuring the forty vdafious Teas required, and know the
exact proportions of each kind used—and though he may
never once hav‘ visited China, he must have had equal
opportunities of securing to himself, its productions :
with one who, like Captain Pidding, has spent years there
in acquiring these advantages, and to whom alone How-
qua—years before his death—imparted at Canton, the
secret of compounding his Mixture.
Yet there are upwards of 500 retailers pretending to sell
tea, they call " Howqua' s Mixture"—each mixture dif-
fering from all the others. Now as there can be but ONE
REAL " Hawqua's Mixture," it follows that, as 500 dif-
ferent medleys are offered-499 must be spurious. The
499 counterfeits are so many evidences of the superiority
of the ONE GENUINE. And it would be absurd to suppose
that Captain Pidding, with advantages, the result of Eight
Voyages made to China, and five years spent in that
country, would be so silly—even were it possible—as to
yield them up to 500 others, or impart to them so valuable
a secret.
The very great celebrity this Tea has acquired, having
tempted many unprincipled persons to give similar, or
nearly similar titles to their own spurious mixtures, to
guard against such imposition, purchasers should observe
that "THE SIGNATURE THUS,"

Such are the properties of this invaluable Specific that
persons labouring under the mosr:distressing Rheumatism,

4, Paternoster-row.
Sis,—Having been informed of the surprising cure of Mr.
Barnes,, of St. Paul's Churchyard, who was so severely afflicted by
Rheumatism, the intense pain causing delirium, that he was coin.
pelled to be confined by a strait waistcoat to prevent his commit-
Mg any violence, and whose case was considered entirely hopeless,
twas induced to ascertain the particulars, and being satisfied of
he truth of my information, encouraged me to make a trial of your
most invaluable Medicine, entertaining little hopes of success' hav-
ing been many years so severe a sufferer, and tried many said to be
very valuable remedies. lam very happy in being able in adding
my testimony of the benefit I derived after a few days' application
the use of my limbs are perfectly restored, and I am now able to
attend my business, and, making an allowance for my age, never
was better in my life. To those, however severely afflicted and
hopeless their ease may have been pronounced, I beg of them to
make a trial, feeling quite satisfied they will be restored to the use
of theiilimbs, from the severe cases that nave yielded to this Me-
dicine. Health is a great blessing to those who can enjoy it, but
to those who are deprived, none feels it so severe as the tradesman
or mechanic, as it generally causes loss of business, and ruin on
families. I shall at all times feel it my duty to make it known to
those afflicted, to evince how grateful I am for my restoration, and
am, Sir, yours truly, GEORGE POLLARD.

yours, EDWARD NOYES.
