Everybody smokes now —man, woman and child. Thus said Mr. Barry Pain, the well-known London writer, in the last number of the “Windsor.” Yes, we all smoke —bar cranks. Why not? The habit contributes more to the sum total of human happiness than any other. It soothes our sorrows and enhances our joys. Never mind what its enemies may say. The worst they can say is that the nicotine contained in tobacco may prove highly injurious. But that depends upon the tobacco. Imported brands it’s true, are often so full of this poison that their free use may cause nerve and heart trouble. But what about our N.Z. tobacco? They differ in as far as their content of nicotine is quite negligible in comparison. And—noto this—New Zealand tobaccos are toasted. They’re the only tobacco that are. Hence their delightful fiavour and fragrance. And they’re so pure you may smoke them with absolute impunity. They don’t require rubbing and theyv don’t bite the tongue. Even doctors recommend them. “Riverhead Gold” is mild, “Navy Cut” (Bulldog) medium, and “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bullshead) is full strength. Try them.
