Kindly forward me one gross of Bee Ointment, small size, at your earliest convenience. Yours truy, A. E. Sykes, Chemist. Hundreds of other testimonials too numerous to publish. "THE LADY'S LAST STAKE." THE above heading has no reference to gambling whatever, either in the way of playing a quiet game of whist for 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 58 venerable liquid ; thou female tongue -11 running, smile soothing, heart-open "ing, wink-tippling cordial, to whose "glorious telish I owe the happiest " moments of my life, let me fall " prostrate.' lhia invocation was somewhat high-flowD, 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 since Subatura Tea was introduced. The testimony of the people cannot be disregarded or ignored. Stjratura holds its high reputation because its " Strength, 3' "Flavour," and "Quality" never vary. It is grown, not made ; it is not blended with India or China teas ; and the gardens where it is produced are noted as being less subject to climatic changes than any other in the tea-growing zone.
