J At a Pop 1 : 1.!' (London) inquest reiccntly touching the death of a watorj Kicle worker, it transpired that dej ceased was quietly smoking his pipe I by the kitchen .lire aftei tea when he' I suddenly collapsed and died, it ap-. j peared that he was a heavy smoker.) 'and habitually used a brand of i i American tobacco which the doctor 'who made the post-mortem described 'as containing a high percentage of ; nicotine, and the constant smoking ■of which, he said, had doubtless i affected the heart in the course of ! years. Such cases are not uncommon. Nicotine is. a powerful poison, and is found in excess in most tobaccos of American origin. In marked contrast are our own New Zealand to- , baccos. Subjected to a special roast- ' ! ing or toasting process, these goods are practically free from nicotine, [while for flavour and aroma they challenge the world! Deprived of nearly all their nicotine, they are quite safe and may be smoked ad libitum without fear of consequences. Four brands only, remember: Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, 'Cavendish and "Cut Plug No. 10. 284
