The superior qualities of the Ceylon Teas, are rapidly supplanting the inferior Chinese products 'n «11 the markets of western civilization. The teas grown in the virgin lands of the Sinhalese, possesses greater strength, richer aroma, and an infinitely larger percentage of the Alkaloid Theine, (the active principle and stimulating property of the plant) than do the teas grown by artificial cvlvation on exhausted soil of China. Hence bulk for bulk, the Ceylon Teas are cheaper, purer, more stimulating, and possess a rare fragrance, wanting in those of the Celestial Empire- Of all the brands of Ceylon Teas, tbe " Kiosk " stands eminently supreme and without rival. Messrs Harley and Co, the wellknown auctioneers and general agents, are the sole agents for Westland of this incomparable brand, and sell it to the general public in full chests, and 51b packages. If a trial is made of the Kiosk tea, no other will again be used and knowing that " once a customer a i customer for ever." Messrs Harley and Co, are offering it for the present at prices that no other firm can compete against. All large consumers, and heads ot households, would do well to give the "Kiosk'' tea a trial. There is quality, economy, and money in it. —AdvtSome of the highest living medical authorities attribute the great growth of physical and mental disease which lias characterised the last few decades, to the universality of adulturation. They affirm that the taking into the system continually by human beings as food, substances which are chemically foreign and not only incapable of sustaining healthy life, but constitute a perpetual danger to it, is largely responsible for the new and complex diseases that baffle their curative skill. Therefore be wise in time, eat only K Jam and avoid these dangers. Absolute purity guaranteed—Advt.
