A Treatise on Foreign Teas Part 9

C. RICHARDSON.

No. 9, Mount Row, opposite the Paragon, Deptford Road, Nov. 14, 1795.

CASE LXX. _To the Proprietor of Dr._ SOLANDER'S TEA.

SIR,

I approve of your English Tea as a general beverage, particularly in nervous hysterical cases, and for children in the measles and small-pox, and shall recommend for such in the course of my practice.

I am, Sir, Your humble servant,

O. FAIRCLOUGH, Surgeon, &c.

Beaumont Street, Portland Place, Jan. 25, 1796.

T. GOLDING, Wholesale Agent to the Proprietor of this TEA, respectfully informs the n.o.bility, Gentry, and the Public in general, that for convenience of the Country, it is appointed to be sold by

_Mr._

And by one princ.i.p.al Vender of Medicines in every other City and Town in England, Ireland, and Scotland.

The native and exotic Plants which chiefly compose this Tea, being gathered and dried with peculiar attention to the preserving their Sanative Virtues, must render them far more efficacious than many similar Preparations, which, by being reduced to Powder, must have those qualities destroyed they might otherwise possess.

_A CAUTION._

The high estimation in which Dr. Solander's Tea is held, by the first circles of fas.h.i.+on, as a general beverage--the many cures it has effected--and the pleasantness of its flavour having induced several unprincipled persons to prepare and vend a base and spurious preparation under a similar t.i.tle; the Proprietor, in justice to the known efficacy of this Tea, and to secure his property from further depredations, has thought proper to have an engraved copper-plate affixed to the canisters and packets of the genuine and original preparation of Dr. Solander's Sanative English Tea. This plate being entered at Stationer's Hall as the Act directs, August 20, 1794, will subject such persons as imitate the same to a consequent prosecution.

The public are therefore cautioned from purchasing any article but what is distinguished by the said plate, and to observe thereon the words specified as above, of its being entered according to Act of Parliament.

DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING DR. SOLANDER's TEA.

TWO or three tea-spoonfuls of this Tea being put into a tea-pot, or a covered bason, pour boiling water upon it, and let it remain a short time in a state of infusion.--After using milk and sugar, agreeably to the taste, drink it moderately warm. A few tea-cups full are sufficient for breakfast, tea in the afternoon, or any other time a person may think proper.
