Even non-smokers must admit that tobacco is a splendid disinfectant. It was proved to be so in 1665—the year of the great plague in England, and doctors to-day consider it invaluable in warding off infection. But it is in times of mental stress that so many rely on it. Every smoker knows how comforting it is in time of trouble. Inferior brands, however, are best avoided, and it should, of course, be as free from nicotine as possible. The American tobaccos, by the way, are all loaded with nicotine. Our New Zealand brands (exclusively manufactured by the National Tobacco Co., Ltd., pioneers of the N.Z. tobacco industry) on the other hand contain surprisingly little, because they are all toasted, and that kills the nicotine and renders them harmless, no matter how freely you indulge. And sweeter, cooler, or more fragrant tobaccos than these money cannot buy. Ask you tobacconist (or any tobacconist) for Riverhead Gold (mild and aromatic) ; Cavendish (famous sporting mixture, medium) ; Navy Cut (a delightful blend, medium) ; or Cut Plug No. 10 (rich, dark, and full-flavoured).*
