While batting in a cricket match for Gordonton against Waharo.a recently Mr D. Montague, of Turanga-o-Moana, was struck full in the mouth •by a fast, rising ball. Both lips were severely lacerated and several teeth smashed. Even non-smokers, must (or should) admit that tobacco is a splendid disinfectant. It was found to be so in .the great plague year in England (1665), and in our own day medical men often consider it invaluable in helping to ward off infection. But it is in times of mental stress that so many value it. Every smoker knows how comforting it is in time of trouble. Inferior brands, however, are best avoided, and it should, of course, be as free from nicotine ais' possible. The American .tobaccos, by the way, are all more or less loaded with the flatter. But pur New Zealand varieties, on the other hand, contain very little. Hence their appeal to the smoker who can go on puffing them all day long if he likes without fear of consequences. And, owing to the fact that, the leaf is, toasted —quite a novel notion —.they are as remarkable for flavour as for fragrance. Your tobacconist has them. Ask for Riverhead Gold, mild ; Navy Cut (Bulldog), medium; or Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), full strength.*
