Captain PIDDING, who has made eight voyages to China,
completed arrangements when last at Canton, securing to
himself the exclusive importation of these particular Teas.
Extract from Dr. Siymond's Lecture on Captain Pidding's
Tea before the Med. Bot. Society.
" This particular Tea has been very much and very de-
servedly prised, and has now become a Standard Tea in this
Country."

(From ,Dr. James Johnson, M.D., Physician to his late

Majesty, &c.)
' Suffolk-place, Pall Mall, London

" Sir,—Ever since your 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., " JAMES JOHNSON, M.D.

" To Captain Pidding."
CAPTAIN PIDDINGs Teas were formerly sold under
the title of " Howqua's Mixture," and " Howqua's
Small Leaf Gunpowder" ; but hundreds of Grocers,
ahxious to profit by the celebrity of tea which he alone
imports, have given the same title to rubbish of their own,
so that there is now scarce one but has his " Howqua's,'
" Mowqua's," " Saoqua's." or some other spurious mixture.
Against such imposition, the only security is
" CAPTAIN PIDDING'S NAME."
This they have not yet forged, and.his signature is on every
really genuine package.
Sold in Chinese Catty packages, containing one pound and
one-third, nett of Tea, exclusive of lead and paper,—the
Black, at_the_rate of Gs. 4d. per lb. ; the Gunpowder at 9s.

per lb. • Half and Quarter Catties in proportion. A Quarter
Catty of Black, charged 2s. 2d., will go as far as half a pound
of the commonest 'Tea, if made according to Capt. Pidding's

directions given on each package
