Scene: Smoker of city tram-car. Stern-faced, anti-tobaccoite, addressing stranger opposite, putting a huge pipe with evident enjoyment. “Do you know my friend, there's enough poison in that pipe of yours to kill a field-mouse or 37 hlue-ljottle flies?” The smoker: “That so? AVell if ever I see a field-mouse smoking a pipe I’ll tell the eat.” Joking apart there’s a lot of nonsense talked and written about smoking. So long as the tobacco is pure and as free fro in nicotine ns possible it can’t do much harm. But there’s the rub. Those imported tobaccos just reek with nicotine. That’s why their hatibual use is so injurious. Our own New Zealand tobaccos, on the other hand, are almost, free from nicotine, so that you can indulge in them to your heart’s content with perfect safety. Also owing to the toasting of the leaf, their flavour is simply delicious and their fragrance delightful. Purer or choicer brands money cannot buy. Ask for “Riverliead Gold” mild, “Navy Cut” (Bulldog) medium, or ‘‘Cut Plug” No. 10 Bullshead full.— Advt.
