'‘Come now, said counsel, in a recent ’(South Island case, “you say you are a moderate smoker. How many pipes do you smoke a day?” The witness hesitated, “Well,” said he, (counting on his -fingers) “one before ' breakfast, t"'» after breakfast, two after dinner, two after tea, and sometimes one in the middle of the night.” (Laughter in court). “That makes eight,” remarked counsel. ‘‘Not ;so bad for a moderate smoker! Why, if I were to indulge to that extent I’d soon be bowled over.” “Not if you smoked New Zealand tobacco, same as T do,” rejoined witness, “it’s as different from the imported as chalk from cheese. The American tobaccos are-full of nicotine, and often undermine the health. The :New Zealand is all but free from nicotine; Can’t hurt you however much you smoke. It’s toasted. That’s why.” Counsel was evidently impressed. The witness was right. New Zealand tobacco IS different. Delightful ' smoking, too, and quite harmless. Four brands only: Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut 'No. 3, Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10.—Advt.
