Anotheb Eevival of iNcnsTBY which appi-nrs

A email trial shipment was ssut recently from Gre- 
nada to New York, and found a remunerative sale. 
Through negleot, the mango has gready degenerated 
in the West India Islands, but if earn were taken to 
develop the better kinds there seems to bo no reason 
why a very prcfitsble trade could not bo developed

Ceylon Planters' Tea Co., .5th Avo. and Ifith St., 
New Y’ork City. New York, October 27, 1891. 
Dear Sits : After many experiments in all forms 
of nervous troubles, imd some of them the most 
auscep'ihlc, I will say the results have even surpassed 
my expectations, and I am in a position to fully 
indorse your claim. 
I have never know the tea to produce nervousness 
or other injurious effects, or cause any interference 
with medical treatment. 
I fact, I now look upon it as a help, rather than 
as a hindrance, and permit all my patients to uso 
it, whore 1 would bo afraid to allow the use of any 
other tea. I am even inolined to the opinion that 
Ceylon tea aids nutrition of the nerves, and thus is 
not only free from injurious effects, hut honoficial as 
a beverage. 
I feel it my duty lo acquaint you with (hess ex- 
povienoea, as the subject is of the groatcsc impoitanoe, 
from the fact that tlionsanda of persons saffor from 
nervous symptoms which can be traced directly to 
the use of tea and coffee. / k.<c < 'et/lon Tea in 7 ) 11 / 
houne/iold, and irovid 7ise no other, I wish yon all 
STVeoess, and hope, for the sake of the nervous public 
that the day will come when yon will have introduced 
Ceylon Tea into every household in the country. —
