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 flavor 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, Aug. 20, 1791, 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.
DR. SOLANDER's TEA.
This CELEBRATED TEA is peculiarly efficacious in most inward wasting,
loss of Appetite, Hysterical Disorders and Indigestion, depression of
Spirits, trembling or shaking of the Hands or Limbs, obstinate Coughs,
Shortness of Breath, and Consumptive Habits; it purifies the Blood,
eases the most violent pains of the Head and Stomach, and is a
wonderful Assuager of the excruciating pains of the Gout and
Rheumatism, by promoting gentle Perspiration. By the NOBILITY and
GENTRY this Tea is much admired as a fashionable BREAKFAST; being
pleasant to the taste and smell, gently astringing the fibres of the
stomach, and giving them that proper tensity, which is requisite to a
good digestion; and nothing can be better adapted to help and nourish
the Constitution after late hours, or making too free with wine.
This Sanative Tea is highly esteemed in the East and West Indies, being
unlike INDIA TEA, which the Faculty unanimously concur in pronouncing a
species of Slow Poison that unnerves and wears the substance of the
solids; on the contrary, this nourishes and invigorates the Nervous
System, acts as a GENERAL RESTORATIVE CORDIAL, upon debilitated
Constitutions, and is a sovereign remedy in Bilious Complaints
contracted in hot climates.
In the Measles and Small Pox, nothing need be given but a plenty of
this Tea; drank warm at Night it promotes refreshing rest, and, as
such, is a regular afternoon's beverage with many aged and infirm
Persons. Being of peculiar service to children, and such who are
weakly, many Parents, and others, having the care and education of
Females, exclude the use of any other than this salubrious Tea.
By the Studious and Sedentary, this CELEBRATED TEA is justly considered
as a MENTAL PANACEA, from its sovereign efficacy in removing complaints
of the head, invigorating the mind, improving the memory, and
enlivening the imagination.
