Amongst the treasured possessions cf a well-known Christchurch doctor is a collection of tobacco pipes. Nearly every pipe has a history. A fine Meerschaum is said to have belonged to Bii George Grey, and a long clay is sup posed to haw. been used by Tennyson, who always smoked clays and never smoked the same one twice. The collection is worth money, but the owner wouldn’t part with it. lie 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 his patients to avoid brands containing much nicotine. His personal preference is for New Zealand tobacco, because lie 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 he smoked freely without fear of consequences. Popular brands: “Riverhead Gold” (aromatic); “Cavendish” and ‘‘Navy Cut” (medium) : “Cut Plug No, 10” (full).— •Vdvt.
