At a conference of medicos at Birmingham recently the subject of tobacco cropped up. The president said that if some method could be devised of eliminating nicotine from tobacco, the discovery would benefit humanity because nicotine was responsible for many any gravi ills. Surely the doctors taking part in that conference are behind the times—otherwise ■ they would know that tobacco is now being •grown and manufactured in New Zealand which is practically free from nicotine. This happy result lias been achieved by toasting the leaf. That kills the nicotifie. Tobacco thus treated is rendered quite harmless. Aon cannot say that of the imported tobaccos, for they are mostly full of nicotine. There are, by the way, only four brands of toasted New Zealand on the market—Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No, 3, Cavendish, and Cut Plug No. 10. They are of various strengths but are. all remarkable for their purity, coolness, flavour and fine aroma. Of Course they are being imitated so beware!
Bromides are dangerous! Avoid them. Eat Yeast-on. Tablets which are free from drugs and chemicals. W. E. WUliams, Chemist.—Advt.
