same with chess. Those who never learned to play can form no idea of Hie fascination of the game. But excellent as tobacco is discrimination should be exercised in its choice. Some sorts are deadly owing lo the quantity of nicotine, they

contain. Any doctor will tell you that. He will tell you also that, the constant smoking of tobacco heavily charged with nicotine is sure to icsiili in .shattered nerves, or heart I rouble. The world’s purest tobaccos are the toasted sorts now so popola r ui New Zealand. Toasting lobs flic leaf of all its poison and makes if safe lo smoke, even if you indulge lo excess. There are four brands of toasted “Riverhead * Ddd,” “Cavendish," “Navy Gill,” and nt I Mug No. ill." These are positively the only tousled tobaccos maim fact tired, and they are each and all famous for their delightful bouquet and unrivalled llaloitr. They don’t burn the tongue, and will smoke lo the last shred.— Advl. 10-1.
