Our first aliment at breakfast, being designed to recruit the waste of
the body from the night's insensible perspiration; an inquiry is
important, whether INDIA TEA, which the Faculty unanimously concur in
pronouncing a species of Slow Poison, that unnerves and wears the
substance of the solids, is adequate to such a purpose--If it be
not--the inquiry is further necessary to find out a proper substitute.
If an Apozem PROFESSIONALLY approved and recommended for its nutritive
qualities, as a general aliment, has claim to public attention,
certainly Dr. SOLANDER'S TEA, so sanctioned, is the most proper morning
and afternoon's beverage.
Prepared for the Proprietor by an eminent Botanist.
Sold Wholesale and Retail by the Proprietor's Agent, Mr. T. GOLDING, at
his Warehouse for Patent Medicines, No. 42, Cornhill, London; and
Retail by Mr. F. NEWBERY, No. 45, St. Paul's Church-Yard; Mess.
BAILEY'S, Cockspur-street; Mr. W. BACON, No. 150, Oxford-street; Mr.
OVERTON, No. 47, New Bond-street; and by Mr. J. FULLER, Covent-Garden,
near the Hummums. Also, by the Venders of Patent Medicines in every
City and Town, in England, Ireland and Scotland.
Sold in Packets at 2s. 9d. and in Cannisters at 10s. 6d. each, Duty
included. Liberal Allowance for Exportation, to Country Venders and to
Schools.
The native and exotic Plants which chiefly compose Dr. Solander's Tea,
being gathered and dried with peculiar attention, to the preserving of
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 Packet of this Tea at 2s. 9d. is sufficient to Breakfast one Person a
Month.
DIRECTION
FOR MAKING
DR. SOLANDER's TEA.
Two or three tea-spoonfuls of this Tea being put into a tea-pot, or a
covered bason, pour boiling water upon it, and let it remain a short
time in a state of infusion.--After using milk and sugar agreeably to
the taste, drink it moderately warm. A few tea-cups full are sufficient
for breakfast, tea in the afternoon, or any other time a person may
think proper.
