Tobacco as a disinfectant? Antitobacs laugh at the idea. But if there's nothing in it why do so many doctors smoke? Of course, they may love the weed for its own sake, but doubtless value it as a safeguard as well, and although constantly exposed to risks they seem to enjoy comparative immunity from infection. And mark this: During the terrible outbreak of influenza in 1918 in New Zealand it is recorded that of the numerous ambulance drivers engaged in conveying the sick to hospital, only four were effected and of those four three were non-smokers! But if tobacco is to effectually ward off infection it must be good, as of course, it should be in any case if the smoker vealues his health. And in all respects "toasted" stands first and foremost. Not only is it composed of the,ychoicest leaf, but it's the safest. Toasting does it! —and the famous toasted blends, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Pocket Edition, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold are.as pure as they are fragrant.
