That’s where they differ from our New Zealand grown tobaccos, which contain so little nicotine that they may he smoked all day, even to excess, without the slightest after ctfccts. They are toasted and do not affect the heart or throat. Ask for “Riverhead Gold” mild; “Navy Cut” (Bulldog) medium; or “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bullshead). full strength.—Advt.
