"John Cabseix still lives in the derating stream of literature for ever flow* ing from the great publishing house he founded. Few men have left a deeper mark on their age than John Oastell. He arrived in London in 1838, with all hit belongings tied up in a coloured handkerchief. At the various temperance meetings which he addressed, in a rongh and uncultured manner, but with an earnestness that preyed his attachment to temperance views. He saw, however, that more was wanted than mere preach* irq, and with a sagacity deserving of recognition, he projected two strong counteractive forces to intemperance— wholesome beverages and educational literature. He set up in Fenchurch street an establishment for the sale of tea and coffee. A long way after him McGowaw follows with his 3s tea. McGowah has been in the tea trade for many years,' and has a Home and Colonial experience in selection that few can lay claim to. A few years ago it occurred to him, after seeing the tame* ness of the quality of tea supplied on the Thames, that there was room for a better article than that usually sold. At the same time he saw that it would be suicidal to introduce a high price, so he determined to put before the judges of good tea an article for 3s, that could not be excelled, unless there were those wealthy enough to receive it from Russia, costing about 15s per lb there, being conveyed overland by caravan. Most people have a bobby, and 8s TEA is McGkWAx's Hobby, get a pound and try it. McGowan'S 3s Tea is different and distinct from all other Teas. It is his intention, at some future date, to : publish, for the information of the trade, full instructions as to the plant, time of pulling, selection, manipulation, &o. The public are requested to judge for themselves, in preference to listening to the disparaging remarks of interested and unprincipled tradesmen.

TRY McGowan's 3s Tea.
