There’s no satisfactory substitute for tobacco. Many have been tried —and found wanting. The best kown of these is the stuff called “herb tobacco,” which is about as much like the real thing as hop-beer is like champagne. Even the genuine foreign tobaccos vary enormously in quality. But they possess one glaring defect in common—they are all more or less full of nicotine, and smokers cannot absorb a poison like that into the sys tern continuously without paying the penalty sooner or latei'. The purest tobaccos of all are those grown in New Zealand and manufactured by the National Tobacco Co., Ltd. (the pioneers of the tobacco industry in the Dominion). These are the only toasted brands procurable, and this process eliminates the nicotine and renders the tobacco safe to smoke. The toasting also develops flavour and fragrance. Ask any tobacconist for Navy Cut (a choice blend of medium strength), Cavendish (the famous sporting mixture), Riverhead Gold (a delicious aromatic) or Cut Plug No. 10 (rich, dark, and full flavoured).*

Compared to others in my life and verse, I may be better or I may be worse, But this stands fixed, in action or in plan : I am, and always have been, “My Own Man I” Wise silence serves to make a peaceful life, Comparisons at best but foster strife, True excellence must in itself endure, Like Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure.
