AS SUPPLIED TO THE ROYAL TABLE.

1 APT AIN PIDDING'S lIOWQUA'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 effectrof 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 discriminating taste, equal power of
procuring the forty various Teas required, and know the
exact proportions of each kind used—and though he may
never once have visited China, he must have bad 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 " llowqua'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,"
Captain. JOHN RHODES PIDDING,
Honourable Company's Service,
is on every genuine Package.
To those who drink Green Tea. 44 Captain Pidding's
Howqua's Small Leaf Gunpowder," grown only on one
estate, is recommended for its strength and economy, and
as being the purest and most wholesome Green Tea im-
ported from. China.

MEDICINE CHESTS FITTED TIP FOR SEA.
GENUINE DRUGS AND CHEMICALS.
y PRIESTLEY. CHEMIST, Lord-street, begs parti_ • cularly to call the atention of his Friends and the
Public to the under-mentioned selection of Preparations :
PRIESTLEY'S FLUID EXTRACT OF
SARSAPARILLA.
In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal
Properties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore,
who, from various causes, would expedience great incon-
venience, or with whom it would be utterly impossible to
prepare the Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract,
which possesses the aclvantagesof portability and of keeping
in any climate, will be found a most desirable mode of
employing this lunch-esteemed Medicine.
Two teaspoonfuls of this Extract, put into a wine-glass
full of water, makes a preparation equal to half a pint of
the Compound Decoction as prescribed by the London,
Edinburgh, and Dublin Pharamacopceias.
The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are
those of the Skin ; such as Scorbutic Affections, Erup-
tive Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c., arising from a
diseased state of the system at liege. For removing
Blotches, Pimples, &c., from the Face, this Medicine has
no superior.
The extensive use and high reputation of this prepara-
tion has led to ntimerou, imitations.
PRIESTLEY'S CITRATED EFFERVESCENT
MAGNESIAN APERIENT.
This delightful compound is recommended in Bilious
Affections, Indigestion, Gout, Costiveness, and for the
prevention of all disorders that have their seat in the
digestive organs. The citrated flavour and the carbonic
acid gas evolved render it peculiarly grateful to the Sto-
mach, and an admirable corrective when a too free indul-
gence has impaired its energies. Prepared and sold only
at 52, Lord-street, Liverpool, in bottles at 2s. 9d., and
4s. 6d. each.
PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS,
which approach nearer than- anything yet discovered to
the Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The style of pre-
pari'ng RP lESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is peculiar to
himself, and combine scientific skill with great accuracy ;
and though numbers of people unacquainted with the
business, and others, have of late years attempted imita-
tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious
compounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor
the medicinal properties of the Seidlitz Waters.
Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Pow-
ders, and make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin
Cases. The latter are put up in a very eligible form for
exportation, or to use atsea, and will keep any length of
time in all climates.
VEGETABLE HAIR OIL,
Is allowed to be an excellent discovery for invigorating
and renovating the human Hair. It eradicates the scurf,
nourishes the Hair, prevents it falling off, produces a
most beautiful natural curl, and gives to artificial Hair a
peculiar softness of texture and luxuriant appearance.
Sold in Bottles at Is. 3d. and 3s. each.
VEGETABLE TOOTH POWDER.
A pleasant Tonic Tooth Powder, which simply removes
all tartarous incrustations from the enamel; and by its
peculiar properties preserves that necessary covering.
Sold in Boxes, 2s. 6d.
PRIESTLEY'S FURNITURE PASTE,
For Cleaning and Polishing Furniture without labour or
trouble. This paste is used for cleaning and polishing
every description of Furniture; whatever preparation
may have previously been used for that purpose, it adds a
high lustre to French polish.--Sold in Pots at ls. each,
or Three Pots for 2s. 6d.
FURNITURE OIL.
Half-pint Bottles, Is., Pint Bottles, Is. 9d., Quart
Bottles, 3s.
GENUINE METALLIC LUSTRE.
This article is recommended to Housekeepers for clean-
ing all manner of Gold and Silver Plate, Metal Teapots,
Pewter Measures, Brass Fenders, Candlesticks, Stair
Rods, Brass Plates on Doors, Tin Covers, &c., &c.. with
half the labour which is generally required with other
preparations, the above lustre leaves a beautiful polish on
the Metal.—Sold in Squares, 6d. and Is. each.
ESSENTIAL SALT OF LEMONS,
For taking Iron Moulds, Ink Spots, and other Stains out
of Linen, Muslin, •Lace, &c., and for many other useful
purposes.—Price ls. per Box, or three Boxes for 2s. 6d.
MUCH-ADMIRED ALMOND FLAVOUR.
A few drops of this Flavour, added to Custards, Pud-
dings, Cakes, Wines, Jellies, &c., communicate a most
delicious taste of Almonds.—Sold in Bottles, with Direc-
tions, Is. 6d. and 3s.
NEWLY-INVENTED CRYSTALLINE OIL.

peculiar process, and really is one of the best Preparations

THE ORGANO HARMONICA.
MR. W. E. IWANS begs most respectfully to invite
the attention to his newly invelltejDUSlCAL
INSTRUMENT, c,hich, having,letly beeriNinspected
and tested in London by some of the most eminent Mu-
sical Professors in the kingdom, has been pronounced by
them to far surpass every Instrument of a similar charac-
ter yet produced, for power, quality, and variety of tone,
as wal as its general arrangem-nts.
The ORGANO HARMONICA, from his similarity
to the Organ in power and tone, is eminently ca'culated
to supersede that Instrument where ect,norny is a consi-
deration. The space it occupies exceeds but little that of
a Cottage Piano-forte.

The Following is a description of the Instrument lately
submitted for public inspection at the Hanover-square-
rooms, London, in favour of which Testi.nonials were
given by Sir George Smart, Cipriani Potter, Vincent
Novello, &c. :

Two Rows of keys ; compass of the Upper, or Swell,
Keys from C C to F in alt, (54 Keys ;) compass of the
Lower Set from C C C to F in alt, (66 Keys.)
It contains Four Stops : viz., Two Diapasons, Princi-
pal, and Fifteenth, with Two Octaves, and a Third of
Pedals ; a Pedal Coupler; an Octave Pedal Coupler ; and
a Coupler ►o connect the Upper Row of Keys with the
Lower.

The Prices vary, according to their capalilly,
from £25 upwards.
The ORGANO HARMONICAS are also constructed with
Barrels.

Sir,—l was from my childhood afflicted with dimness of sight,
and as I advanced in years became almost blind. My husband
being a medical practitioner, every oculist of any eminence was
consulted, but unfortunately without any zeal relief. I was re.
commended by one of my friends, although a member of the
trilisafwteirththe
profession, who said he had taken it for
happiest result : he being relieved from inflammation long
suffering, induced me to give it a trial. I have taken four 2s 4d
canisters, and shall continue to use it to the end of my days, for
few
matcino
I have derived so much benefit from using it, that I can now
read without the assistance of any kind of eye glasses. I shall
feel happy at any time to acknowledge the great cure your Eye
Snuff has made in my case. Make what use you may please of
this testimony, and remember, I am in my seventieth year, and
can read and ao needlework much better than I could for the
last forty years, without any glasses.
