Amongst the treasured' possessions of a well-known Christchurch doctor is a collection of tobacco pipes. Nearly every pipe has a history. A line .Meerschaum is said to 'have belonged' to Sir George Grey, and a long clay is supposed to have, been used by Tennyson, who always smoked clUys and never smoked the same one twice. The collection is worth money, but the owner wouldn’t part with it. He says by the way (and quite truly) that the tobacco counts far more than the pipe it is smoked in, and he never fails to warn bis patients to avoid brands containing much nicotine. His personal preference is for New Zealand tobacco, because he considers it the purest on the market and the freest from nicotine, while the foreign brands are all more or less full of the latter. The New Zealand, owing to its splendid quality is a universal favourite. You run no risk with it. It can be smoked freely without fear of consequences. Popular brands: “Kiverhcad Gold” (aromatic): “Cavendish” and ‘'Navy Cut” (medium) ; “Cut Plug No. 10” (full). — Advt.
