Grocery How to Make a Good Cup of Tea. A GOOD CUP of TEA it really a scientific preparation. Some prefer all black Tea, others a mixture of green. The most whole* some is that made from black alone, and if one teaspoonful of tea be 1 allowed for each person besides -- - - an extra one for the teapot, an uv ■ fusion of excellent. strength may be obtained. The Tea should be made in a bright metal teapot if ; possible, because bright substances retain the heat longer than.rough ones ; a metal teapot extracts all the strength in the first infiision of Tea, leaving none for the last brewing, an earthenware teapot being slower in its action upon the herb admits of a ' bettrr Tea being poured out at last. Then the water mast not only have just boiled, but be in the very act of boiling at the time it is poured over the leaves, or no good Tea can be made. If the water his stopped or gone off the boil one half minute, the Tea will be weak and tasteless, ' - for only water really at the boiling point will extract the qualities of the Tea, and it should stand from fifteen to twenty minutes before pouring out. The teapot should be thoroughly dry and warm before patting the Tea in. In touring the boiling water on to the Ten it is best only to half fill the teapot, and in ■ ten minutes to add the remainder. By this process the heat is kept up. When tba infusion has once been made it is useless to add any more Tea to that already in the teapot. If more be required, it is better to use a second teapot, jug, or large cup, taking care to cover closely, and place in the oven till fully infused, then it may be added to that already, in tbe teapot. It seems an easy thing to make a Cup of Good Tba—and really is so, WHfcN rOU GET IT AT McGOWAN'S. 3/- Tea at McGowan's.

The value of this well known Family Medicine has been largely tested in all parts of the world, and by all grades of society, for upwards of FIFTY YEARS.
