J Public Notices. "THITLADY'S LAST~STAKB. '* THE above heading has no refevrce to gambling whatever, either in tlie way o- playing a quiet game of whißt foi- penny points and threepence on the rub, or of wagering a pair of four-button gloves on the four-oared senior outrigger championship. It is the title of an old comedy by Colley Cibber, in which the heroine apostrophises her teapot as follows :— " Tea ! thou soft, thou sober, sage and " venerable liquid ; thou female tongue " running, smile-soothing, heart-open "ing, wink-tippling cordial, to whose "glorious relish I owe the happiest "momenta of my life, let me fall " prostrate." This invocation was somewhat high-flown, but the same ideas flow through the minds of thousands of women of New Zealand when they reflect, on the health, economy, comfort, ' and satisfaction which has been their lot sinoe Scratoba Tea wag introduced. The testimony of the people cannot be disregarded or ignored. Subatuba holds its high reputation because its " Strength," "Flavour," and "Quality" never vary. It is grown, not made ; it is NOI blended with India or China teas ; and the gardens where itJs produced are noted as being less subject to climatic changes than any other in the tea-growing zone. Hence the superiority and unchanging merit of SURATWRA TEA.
