Ceylon and Indian Teas.

» Only daring comparatively recent years have these teas been brought into -notice. To Mesrss Nelson, Moate and Co. belongs the credit of having been the introducers of Ceylon and users of Indian teas throughout the colonies thirteen years ago ; and undoubtedly their efforts have educated the public taste to prefer the delicately-flavoured, high-quality, straw-coloured, fine infusions oftheir well-known teas to the strong, herby, dark-coloured, indigestible common teas now being packed by inexperienced dealers, and, pushed on to the public by means of fancy packets and extra profits, regardless of the injury to health. Medical men of the highest standing in England having proved that these strong" herby teas are ruinous to health, the public must see how necessary ib is to buy teas tested by an expert with a' responsible name attached to each packet. . Tha Customs returns prove beyond contradiction that Nelson; Moate and Co.'s fine teas are being appreciated by the majority, for, in ipite of , the numerous firms in every town in the colonies that are copying them, their turnover is as largl as ever, and the demand so great that they sell more Indian, Ceylon an<J< blended teas than the whole of the importers and dealers pnt together in any quarter of the Colony?

Mark Twain tells the story that, at the \ inquest held on the body of Buck Fanshaw - who during the delirium of a raging typhoid fever had taken arsenic, shot himself through the body, cut his throat, and jumped out of a four-story window, breaking hit neck— the jury, after due delibera* tion, sad and tearful, but with intelligence unbhnded by its sorrow, brought in a verdict of " death by the visitation of God." HvAt undoubtedly committed suicide, and so Joes every one who neglects the first symptoms of approaching sickness and disease. Nature always gives ample notice of any disturbance of physical processes ; sometimes it is neuralgia, sometimes, a sharp, shooting pain in abdomen or side, or a dull or throbbing headache ; no two persons get the same symptoms. What you have to do is to attack the first symptoms, for if consumption, dropsy, cancer or Bright's disease once gets a start, you- cannot stop their headlong course to the grave. These are facts, there is no disputing, for all the medical skill in the world cannot do much for you when real organic disease has set in. We emphatically reoommend Clements Tonic because we know by personal experience and by the evidence of influential and reliable people who have used it that it will do good and prevent disease. Clements Tonic is a medicine that invigorates and strengthens the entire' corporal organism ; it does not only effect certain members, but strengthens the whole system, thus preventing the attacks of disease. The assertions of the manufacturers are born cut and proved by Mr James McVeigh, porter, Bendigo, who writes : — I had a severe attack of typhoid fever. After becoming convalescent I suffered from extreme nervousness ; there was a medical man attending on me, but I di(l not seem to get a bit stronger. I was advised to give Clements Tonic a trial, which I have done, with the most beneficial results. My nervous system was so shattered that the very opening of a door annoyed me. Before I had finished one bottle I found that it had steadied my nerves to that extent that I was able to resume my clerical duties, which I was in - competent to do before I had taken Clements Tonic. lam only too happy to say that as a nerve strengihener there is nothing to beat Clements Tonic, and as an advocate of it, I am only too happy to add j my testimony to the thousands you have already received. — I remain, yours truly, J. McVeigh, porter, V.R., Bendigo, Victoria.
