Jas. Payn, the novelist, like so many writers, was an inveterate smoker; his doctor warned him repeatedly about over-smoking, and told him plainly that if he carried on as he was doing he would be a dead man in ten years’ time. But he paid no heed, lived for years beyond the doctor’s limit, and never gave up smoking till the end of the chapter. As to the harmfulness of smoking, it all depends upon the tobacco. Really choice baccy, sweet and fragrant and above all pure, may, and often does, prove more beneficial than otherwise, and if purity is valued as it should be by every smoker, there are no purer brands manufactured than the well-known toasted varieties, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, and Navy Cut No. .3 (Bulldog). These are for the pipe. Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold make the finest of all cigarettes. Go where you will, you’ll find all five blends on sale—the most convincing proof you can have of their immense popularity.
