For a wager, two men at Brighton, England, recently matched themselves, one against the other, to see which could smoke the most tobacco in a given time. The contest lasted for hours.' The tobacco was American, of medium strength. The winner smoked two and. a-quarter ounces. He looked as if he had had more than enough when he put his pipe down. The loser - was going strong when he collapsed. Heart. . Fact is most of these American tobaccos arc fnlj of ‘‘juice” (Nicotine), and‘nicotine in excess plays the dickens with heart and nerves. No tobacco is absolutely free from it, but our New Zealand grown brands contain so little that they are practically harmless. They can hesmoked freely without causing any trouble. Even the doctors recommend them. Cool, sweet, and fragrant, they appeal to all smokers. Try them. If’ you like a soothing mild- aromatic, ask for “Riverhead Gold” or if you prefer something stronger, get some “Navy Cut” medium or “Cut Plug No. iO" full* flavoured.* .
