County Council employees are now engaged in renewing the running boards on the Ngatea bridge. Short planks will be laid over the wheel tracks on the sloping portions of the bridge. The bridge tit Waitakaruru will receive attention very shortly. Smoker’s heart is a distressing malady caused chiefly through the effects of an alkaloid called nicotine, which is extremely poisonous. Strong tobacco with a high percentage of nicotine should therefore be avoided. When selecting a brand the smoker ishpuld not be guided by appearance alone, because even an apparently mild cigarette may contain —and often does contain —an excess of. nicotine. It is- a peculiar fact that certain N.Z. soils, produce a leaf with a very small percentage of nicotine, compared with the foreign type. Take, for instance, our Ipcal brands, Riverhead Gold, Cut Plug No. 10, and Toasted Navy Cut. There you have an absolutely pure article, which can be smoked continuously without the slightest after effects. It burns to the last shred, leaving the mouth sweet and clean. So highly is New Zealand tobacco commended upon by doctors and experts that smokers should .acquaint themselves with the merits of our own product by giving the above brands a fair trial.*
