The late Dr. Richardson, whose dream (it didn’t come true!) it was to found a sort of “City of Health” in England, was no smoker, and disapproved of tobacco, yet he admitted (like Huxley) that it was “no worse than tea.” Well, for that matter,, there are teas that are probably far “worse” than any tobacco! And if you haven’t had to drink them you’re lucky. It’s purity that counts in both, cases. Depend upon it, the famous “toasted” tobaccos, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold, Desert Gold and Pocket Edition, won’t harm anyone. They owe their great popularity to '(l) their uniform splendid quality; (2) expert manufacture and skilful blending; and (3) . the toasting of the leaf which does so much to free them of excess of nicotine and make them what they are—the finest and least harmful of all tobaccos. The ever-growing demand for them is proof positive of their outstanding merit. But in order to avoid worthless imitations buyers should insist on having the brands already enumerated.
