wasting which induced me to have recourse to many gentlemen of the
faculty, without receiving any benefit from their advice or medicine.

CASE XLIV. _To the Proprietor of the Sanative Tea._
I have been for ten years very much afflicted with a rheumatic gout for
which I have taken much medicine without being relieved; fortunately, I
was advised last March to try Dr. Solander's Tea; the first two packets
I took, greatly eased my pains; and the three next parcels cured me.
Since the pains not returning, you have my authority to make this
public for the good of society. I remain, SIR, &c.

CASE XLVI. _To the Proprietor of Dr._ SOLANDER'S TEA.
I should not think I discharged my duty to the public, were I to
conceal for a moment the great benefit I have received from Solander's
Tea, as well as two of my children, who were weakly for some months,
after the measles. My own case was violent trembling of my hands,
attended with lowness of spirits, for which I took various
prescriptions from many eminent of the faculty, without any visible
benefit, till by the advice of one of them, I took to drink your Tea,
which in a few weeks entirely cured me. Finding it so efficacious, and
withal so pleasant to the taste, I gave it to my children to drink, who
I am happy to say are perfectly recovered.
I remain, SIR, &c.

T. GOLDING, Wholesale Agent to the Proprietor of this TEA, respectfully
informs the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public in general, that for
convenience of the Country, it is appointed to be sold by
_Mr._
And by one principal Vender of Medicines in every other City and Town
in England, Ireland, and Scotland.
The native and exotic Plants which chiefly compose this Tea, being
gathered and dried with peculiar attention to the preserving their
Sanative Virtues, must render them far more efficacious than many
similar Preparations, which, by being reduced to Powder, must have
those qualities destroyed they might otherwise possess.
* * * * *
_A CAUTION._
The high estimation in which Dr. Solander's Tea is held, by the first
circles of fashion, as a general beverage--the many cures it has
effected--and the pleasantness of its flavour having induced several
unprincipled persons to prepare and vend a base and spurious
preparation under a similar title; the Proprietor, in justice to the
known efficacy of this Tea, and to secure his property from further
depredations, has thought proper to have an engraved copper-plate
affixed to the canisters and packets of the genuine and original
preparation of Dr. Solander's Sanative English Tea. This plate being
entered at Stationer's Hall as the Act directs, August 20, 1794, will
subject such persons as imitate the same to a consequent prosecution.
The public are therefore cautioned from purchasing any article but what
is distinguished by the said plate, and to observe thereon the words
specified as above, of its being entered according to Act of
Parliament.
DIRECTIONS
FOR MAKING

for breakfast, tea in the afternoon, or any other time a person may
think proper.
