A rare old print, picked up for a soiig in an Auckland second-hand shop .the., other day, shows a physician of the period in wig, long coat,, kneebreeches, and three-cornered hat, entering a sick chamber, the knob of his cane pressed against his nose. The cane was an- important item of every Doctor’s outfit in days of old. The hollo\V knob of ivory, silver or gold, contained snuff as a protection against infection. Perhaps that is why Doctors to-day are generally great smokers. But knowing the deadly nature of nicotine they are careful to select a tobacco as free from the poison as possible. No difficulty about that—in New Zealand, because- our tobacco (unlike the imported which : s generally full of nicotine) is toasted in the process of manufacture, -and thus rendered safe to smoke to any extent. To toasting, also, it owes its unequal! "id flavour and incomparable bouquet. There are only four brands: tßiverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish and Cut‘"Plug *'N6. 10.'— iTdvt.
