Thus counsel (a notorious tobacco-hater) during the hearing of a case at .Brisbane not long since, when he elided from the defendant that the latter consumed half a pound of tobacco every week.

All six brands, Riverhead Gold, Desert Gold, Pocket Edition, Navy Cut No- 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish and Cut iPlug No. 10 (Bullshead), arte as sweet, fragrant and delightful as they are soothing and conV-i forting. They appeal irresistibly to all smokers- ".'
