P. T. Barnum, the famous American Showman, was once asked what invention or discovery had, in his opinion, and doubles our joys. But it must be contributed most to the source of human happiness and enjoyment. Without hesitation he replied: “The" invention or discovery of smoking.” He wasn’t far wrong. Tobacco is like a good wife—it halves our sorrows the right kind of tobacco. If full of nicotine, as so many of the imported brands are, habitual indulgence in it must be attended sooner Or later, with evil consequences. Heart or nerves may become affected. By the way, our New Zealond-grown tobaccos are so pure and contain relatively se little nicotine that they may be freely indulged in with impunity. They don’t bite the tongue. The toasting of the leaf (quite a new idea) develops the flavour, which is peculiarly pleasant, and they possess a delightful fragrance of their own. No wonder they are capturing the market. Ask for (Bulldog), medium; or “Opt Plug No. “Riverhead Gold,- mild; “Navy Cut” 10” (Bullshead), full strength.*
