“lie’s a good ’usband, Sir, mostly, but e’s like a bear with a sore ’cad when ’e don’t get ’is pipe, and it don’t always run to it,” a poorly dressed woman told the magistrate at an East End of London Police Court when giving evidence against her husband for assault.

Some brands are just rank with nicotine and cannot be indulged in constantly with impunity. About the safest tobaccos on tile market are those grown and manufactured in New Zealand. They are all toasted and contain so little nicotine that there is no fear of developing “Smoker’s Heart,” this distressing malady or nerve trouble. These tobaccos appeal to all smokers and the more you smoke them the better you like them. That’s why they are meeting with such a huge sale. Ask any tobacconist for “Riverhead Gold,” mild; “Navy Cut” (Bulldog), medium; or “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bullshead), full strength.”
