As Supplied to the Royal Table

AS SUPPLIED TO THE ROYAL TABLE. CAPTAIN PIDDING'S HOWQUA'S MIXTURE 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 proportions, 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 discriminating taste, equal power of procuring the 40 various Teas required, and know the exact proportions of each kind used,  -- and though he may never once have 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 Howqua -- 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 differing from all the others.  Now as there can be but ONE REAL "Howqua's Mixture", it follows that, as 500 different 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 5 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 "SIGNATURE THUS"                             "CAPT. JOHN PIDDING.' Honourable Company's Service, is on every genuine package.     To those who drink Green Tea,  "Capt. 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 imported from China.     Captain Pidding has appointed the under Agents for this District :                                      SARAH CARRICK,                                      CONFECTIONER                                    28, CASTLE STREET                                SOLE AGENT FOR CARLISLE ANNAN, - R.
