“Is smoking injurious?” Dr. Giotti, the famous Italian nerve specialist, says it entirely depends on the tobacco. He states that many of the well-known American brands are so rich, in nicotine that they are best avoided, because their. constant use is bound to cause nerve trouble. He considers smoking may be actually beneficial under the proper conditions. His advice.to smokers is: ‘Select a. brand that while satisfying your ■*tobaccoh unger' is yet praceically free from nicotine.” But it is not-. always easy to find such tobaccos. However, we certainly have them right here in New Zealand. They are grown and. the leaf fe cured and manufactured, for the market within the Dominion., In fact, tobacco culture and manufacture now constitute one' of our most ■promising industries. Moreover, our New Zealand grown tobaccos are so pure and relatively so free from nicotine that they quite fulfil the Italian .specialist’s conditions . They may be •obtained from any tobacconist.
