‘Smoking is a bad habit,” a Limehouse (London) magistrate told the wife of a working man when the latter was charged with assaulting her, “There is nothing 1o lie said in favour of tobacco,” added his lordship. “You wouldn’t say that if you ’ad to live alonger ’im,” replied complainant, indicating the defendant., “’e’s orlright so long as ’e ’as ’is pipe. When ’is bacca gives out ’e’s a fair terror an’ no error.” So tobacco would appear to be like music—it hath charms to soothe the savage breast! It certainly does work wonders as a sedative, and probably does more to soothe jangled nerves than all the so-called “nerve tonics.” Of course it should be pure, i.e., as free from nicotine as you can get it. Well, it’s easy to get it in New Zealand for our Dominion tobacco is renowned for its purity and freedom from poisonous nicotine. That’s where it differs from some of the imported tobaccos! There are four brands of New Zealand: Riverhead Gold, Navy Gut No. d, Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10.
