It has become to recognise that tobacco, for 'lnstance, is a great solace in times of worry, ■ and for many a direct aid to mental effort and concentration.” The doctor, however, is keenly alive to the danger from excess of nicotine in tobacco. “Pure nicotine,” he state's, “like strychnine .and arsenic, is now known to be a deadly poison.” It is. -A nd what is more, practically all the brands in every-day use contain more or dess of this vile stuff. The. most notable exception is found in the New Zealand tobacco which, put through a costly purifying process in the course of manufacture, (toasting), is~ rendered practicably free from nicotine and i ; consequently harmless to .the smoker. The process also gives this famous tobacco its world renowned flavour and peerless bouquet; Note carefully there are only four brands: .River-head Gold, ‘Navy Cut Xo. 3, Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10.—Advt.
