Through the simple process ol toasting his tobacco the modern manufacturer has been able to effect an enormous improvement in the smoking quality.

We do not eat. raw meat or lislt or drink raw enlfetfc why should we smoke raw tobacco. Tt is wonderful hqw the flavour of tobacco can be developed by toasting. Try any of tbe local brands and you will notice a marked improvement, and what is also ini porfant, as a result of the toasting process the tobacco loses all deleterious properties. Smokers who study their health should therefore give this matter their attention, and avoid strong foreign tobaccos henvilv charged with nicotine, they are sure to undermine even the mo-4 robust constitution. Not only is the local article purer and more wholesome than most of the imported brands, but it is cheaper too.
