"It would be a good thing for dentists if smoking had never been invented," writes "Forceps" in a London journal devoted to dentistry, adding: "Tobacco smoke is one of the very finest preservatives of the teeth. It may discolour them sometimes, but it frequently prolongs their usefulness to old age., Sweets, on the other hand, are the dentist's best friends. Children and' women, who are always munching them, very often suffer badly from . defective teeth, and I never pass a lolly-shop without wanting to take off my hat to it. But tobacco smoke assuredly prevents decay." So it does. But the tobacco should be of special quality. "Toasted" is ideal

for the purpose, because, owing to J the comparative absence of nicotine! in it, it can be smoked so freely ( without .affecting the health. All} five brands of the genuine toasted—f Cut Plug No. 10 (Bulkhead), Navy)
