He states that many of the wellknown American brands are so- rich in nicotine that .tney are best avoided, because their constant use is bound to cause nerve trouble. He considers ismoking may be actually beneficial under the proper conditions. His advice to smokers is : “Select a brand that while satisfying your ‘tobacco hunger’ is yet practically 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 is 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. Ask for Riverhead Gold, mild ; Navy Cut (Bulldog), medium; or Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), full strength.*
