Bo careful what you drink.
Tea was first Introduced Into Europe In the
year 1660 by a company called the Dutch
East India Co. The price was then about
50 or 60 nhilllngE per pound , and two pounds
of the best tea was not deemed en unfitting
prctent to the king , So greatly has the
consumption of tea increased in th'e coun
try and Europe ' " "I now over FIVE HUN
DRED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE use it dally.
It is one of the most healthful beverages
known to conneusletirs and cxpcits of today.
THE EFFECT OF TEA UPON THE
HUMAN SYSTEM is that of a mild narcotic.
laud when taken in thu proper quantities It i

ptrntclouc , if , Indeed , it Is t > o In any degree.
It note likewise as a diuretic cad powerfully
aids digestion.IT
IT IS REALLY 80.
Of ail the people now using tea not more
than one-fourth o ! them have a perfect
knowledge of how to prcpato it , nor do they
get the same results that the Chinese * and
Japanese do , which are they ( the Japincue ,
etc. ) possess. It is really an art ; to inucl
eo that they ( the Chinese , etc. ) think It
neccbcary to eutablUli tea houses in all the
principal cities of this country In order that
the people may know good quality new crop

test their teas before buying , The con

HOW TO MAKE THA.
Ladles , wo will Instruct you free of charge.
Come In and learn how to tnalco it. Wo

Geu ( a very high authority on tea making
from Japan ) , After continued perseverance
