This is a combination of capitalists to supply the consum- 
ers of Teas throughout the United States on the mutual 
principle 
We have experienced agents in all the best districts of 
China and Japan to select Teas especially for our trade. 
We expect every consumer of Teas to render us all the 
assistance they can In carrying out our enterprise, as we 
make a specialty of SUPPLYING CONSUMERS ONLY 
(and allow no middlemen to make any profit on our impor- 
tations), which will enable us to supply them with Teas at 
prices lower than have ever been known, and of those fine 
qualities that seldom reach the interior, being sold only in 
the large cities and among the very wealthy. 
Hoping the consumer will take an Interest in our enter- 
prise, and send at once for a ctrcalar with ftdl explanations 
of how to proceed to obtain our goods, we remain. 
Most respectfully yours.

A Trochar for Cattle-Men. 
In Juno of 1872 we gave illustrations of a Tro- 
char and Cannula to be used in ringing 
a bull, and on page 13 (January) and 
page 97 (March) of this Journal for 1873 
we described the use of this apparatus 
in relieving hoven in cattle. These ar- 
ticles have brought out a large demand for 
Trochars, and failing to find just the right 
kind among the makers of snrgical imple- 
ments, we have induced an establishment 
to undertake their manufacture. We give 
herewith a small engraving of the Trochar. 
These articles are now in the trade, and 
may be had of most dealers in agricultural 
implements. Those who can not get them 
from dealers can receive them from tljis office, prepaid, 
for $1.00. ORANGE JTJDD CO., 245 Broadway, N. Y.
