“Half-a-pound of tobacco a week!” exclaimed a Brixton (London) coroner at the inquest on a commercial traveller whose nervous breakdown had ended in collapse and death, “rather much,.wasn’t it?” “It was,” said the doctor who made the post-mortem, “if the tobacco had been right it might have been different. But here was a man who had been smoking half-a-pound of tobacco a. week for years of a sort containing a large percentage of nicotine. The effect was cumulative, and' the heart ceased to function.” Unfortunately such cases are common. Happily New Zealanders are fortunate in being able to get tobacco second to none in quality and all but free from nicotine. . Extraordinary care is taken in the manufacture of this beautiful tobacco which is subjected to very special treatment at the factory and which renders it perfectly harmless. Four brands only: Riverhead Gold. Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish, and Cut Plug No. 10. No finer tobacco is produced in any country in the world.—Ad'vt.
