“Micl- Victorian doctors had a habit of condemning anything that made life tolerable,” wrote Dr. Frederick Graves, in the Fondon *Daily Kxpress recently, adding, “the new school of medicine takes a different view. It has come to recognise that tobacco, for instance, is a great solace in times of worry, and for many a direct aLI to mental effort and concentration.” The doctor, howevc* is keenly alive to the danger from excess of nicotine in tobacco. ‘‘Pure nicotine,” he states, ‘dike strychnine and arsenic is now known to he a deadly poison.” Tt is. And wliat is more, i>ractically all the brands in every-day use, contain more or less of this vile stuff. The most notable exception is found in the New Zealand tobacco which, put through a costly purifying process in the course of manufacture (toasting) is rendered practically free from nicotine and is consequently harmless to the smoker. The process also b gives this fatuous tobacco its world renowned flavour and peerless bounquet. Note carefully there are only four brands: Itiverhead f Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10.
