Tobacco, always a joy to the smoker, is never perhaps, better appreciated than on a long railway journey, when one has to remain a prisoner for hours at a time. Such is the beneficent influence of the weed that It will relieve even the tedium of the longest journey. But on a trip like that you want a brand you can smoke all day without tongue or throat or nerves being affected, “ Where is such tobacco to be obtained ?” you may ask. Why, any tobacconist will supply you. What strength do you like ? Ask fox’ “ Riverhead Gold " If you fancy something mild and aromatic, “Navy Cut” (Bulldog) if you prefer a medium blend., or “ Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead) if you are addicted to a fullflavoured baccy. These brands are grown and manufactured in New Zealand. They are all toasted in the making and hence; their flavour and fragrance. They can be smoked pipeful after pipeful, with impunity, because, unlike the imported tobaccos, they are comparatively free from 1 nicotine. That’s why doctors recom-. mend them.*
