“Half-a-pound of tobacco a week!” exclaimed a Brixto n (London) coroner at the inquest on a commercial traveller whose nervous breakdown had ended in collapse and death, “rather much, wasn’t it ?” “It was,” said th 0 doctor who made the post-mortem, “if the tobacco had been right it ' might have been different. But here. ;. was a man who had been sjnoking . half-a-pound of tobacco a week for years of a sort containing a large percentage of nicotine. The effect was cumulative, and the heart ceased to ...function.” Unfortunately such cases are’common. Happily New Zealanders are- fortunate in being abl e to get tobacco, second to none in quality and all but free from nicotine. Extraordinary care is taken in the manufacture of this beautiful tobacco which is subjected to very, special treatment at the 'factory and which renders it perfectly harmless. Four brands only : Riverhead Gdld,’ Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish, and Cut Plug No. 10. No finer tobacco is produced in any country in the world.—Advt.,
