"It ■would, be a good thing for dentists if smoking had never been invented" writes "Forceps" in a Jiondon journal devoted to dentistry ? a tiding: "Tobacco smoke is one ol' the very finest preservatives of the teeth. It may discolour them sometimes but it frequently prolongs their usefulness to old age. Sweets on the other hand, are the dentist's best friends. Children and women, who are always munching them, very often suffer badly from defective teeth, and I never pass a lolly-shop without wanting to take off my hat to it. But tobacco smoke assuredly prevents decay. 7 ' So it does. But the tobacco should be of special quality. "Toasted" is ideal for the pur-. pose ) because, owing to the. comparative absence of nicotine in it it can be smoked so freely without Htfecting the health. All five brands ol' the genuine, toasted—Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. li (Bulldog), Pocket Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold, are splendid teeth preservers, and more fragrant and delightful tobaccos are simply not to be had, whatever price you may pay.
