The late Fergus Hume, whose “Mystery of a Hansom Cab” made all London talk once upon a time was then a heavy smoker but very fastidiou in his choice of tobadco, maintaining that pure tobacco was harmless but that if it contained over much nicotine it might do infinite mischief. Doctors will confirm that. But really pure tobacco, that is tobacco containing a trifling percentage of nicotine, is not met with everywhere every day. Even in London it is rare. Here in Maoriland it may be obtained at the nearest tobacconist’s shop! The New Zealand grown and manufactured article is probably the purest and least harmful in the world, and smokers may indulge in it to their heart's content without running the smallest risk. This famous tobacco owes its excellence to the fact that it is toasted the only tobacco that is. by the way. This process draws'the poison out of it besides accounting for its wonderful flavour and matchless bouquet. Four brands only; Cut Plug No. 10, Cavendish, Riverhead 1 Gold and Navy Cut No. 3.
