It is the title of an old comedy by Colley Gibber, io which the heroine apostrophises her teapot aa follows :— " Tea ! thou soft, thou sober, sage and " venerable liquid ; thou female tODgue " running, smile soothing, heart-open "ing, wink-tippling cordial, to whose "glorious relish I owe the happiest " moments of my life, let me fall 11 prostrate. 1 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 since Suratoka Tea was introduced. The testimony of the people cannot be disregarded or ignored. Suratuba holds its high reputation because its "Strength," "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. Hence the superiority and unchanging merit of SURATURA TEA. JOHN ORR & CO., agents. NOTICE,— -Are you going to build.
