Enthusiastic Johnsonians recently celebrated at Lichfield the two hundredth and twenty-third anniversary of the birth of Dr. Johnson, a native of Lichfield. The supper (served by candlelight, as of old) comprised favourite dishes of the great. lexicographer (including ‘roast pig with plum-sauce’). After the board was cleared a huge bowl of punch made its appearance, and “churchwarden pipes were distributed. What the tobacco favoured by the doctor was is not recorded. But Johnson loved his pipe. How he would have revelled in our New Zealand Toasted Tobacco! Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead) for choice One can imagine him, as he puffed away, remarking on the excellence of this incomparable tobacco, “rich and mellow,”' and', thanks to the toasting it gets when, manufactured, all but free from poisonous nicotine. All > four brands: Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), are toasted, (as no other tobaccos are) and appeal irresistibly to smokers. They are as innocuous as they are delightful. Yes, the good old doctor would have appreciated “toasted.” —Advt.
