IAPTAIN PIDDING'S HOWQUA'S MIXTURE
‘J 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 wit minute analysis.
For another to produce the sams,r6sult, he must possess
equal skill, the same discriminating taste, equal power of
procuring the forty various „Tiias required, and know the
exact proportions of each.kmd used—and though he may
never once have visited China, he must have had equal
opportunities of seculing 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 bevfcr4 his death—imparted at Canton, the
secret of com unding 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 " Howqua'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,"
