EVERY true colonist must have felt a glow of pride when readiog m the Governor's Speeoh that the earning power of the people bad been increased, bat the Speech omitted to give the reason wby there had been a saving last year of over £20,000 m the cost of tea consumed m New Zealand. . The reßaona are obvious to every housewife who ooDßidera her tea expenditure— let— lt i 8 beoause Suratura Tea has oome into euoh general use m consequence of its strength, flavour, economy, and purity. , 2nd— That it goes so muoh further than ordinary brands. These oharaoteristioa are co generally acknowledged that it ib remarkable that m the Governor's Speeoh there waßno indioa- tion of a Bill to authorise the purchase by I the State of the whole growth of Suratura Te», with the objeot of supplying the inhabi- tants of New Zealand, and thereby decreasing the burden upon the ceoessarieß of life. The oharaoterislioa cf 6URATU3A TEA are Pubitx, Fbaqeanok, Stbenoth, Economy, and it ia NOT blended with Indian or China ' Teas. 693 L r _' | COB COUGHS, GOLDS, BRONCHITIS, ASTHM t P Influenza, Coninmption, &c &o : ] IX AY'S COMPOUND JfiBKNOB Of LIMSBHP, X f\ Anlßeed^JenwftiSqaill!
