A well-known English surgeon (retired) recently published his “Reminiscences,” and among other amusing stories lie relates how on one occasion a man called to consult him about a septic linger. “Why didn’t you come to me before?” queried the surgeon after an examination. “Fact is. doctor.” said the patient, with a twinkle in his eye. “whenever there is anything wrong with me—no matter what it is—my wife insists upon my knocking off smoking.” Surgeon and patient had a hearty laugh. “Tobacco.” said the surgeon. “is often found ‘guilty’ by its enemies when it is obviously quite innocent. When it’s at fault it is usually because there’s too much nicotine in it.” Happily New Zealanders needn’t worry about that. There’s very little nicotine in our toasted tobacco. Take anyone of the four famous brands (Riverhead Gold. Navy Cut. No. 3 (Bulldog). Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead) and you have not only a perfect tobacco, unrivalled for flavour and fragrance, but a perfectly harmless one! But take care what you buy!—there are imitations about!
