It is the title of an old comedy by Colley Gibber, in which the heroine apostrophises her teapot as follows:— v Tea ! thou soft, thou sober, sage and " venerable liquid ; thou female tongue e! running, smile-soothing, heart-open "ing, wink-tippling cordial, to whose "glorious relish I owe the happiest " moments of my life, let me fall " 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 fchs health, economy, comfort, and satisfaction which has been their lot since Sukatuba Tea was introduced. The testimony of the people cannot be disregarded or ignored. Stjratuba 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.
