To rail at tobacco for thirty years and denounce smoking as a vice and then conclude that you’ve been “barking up the wrong tree” all the time! What a “right about face!” The late Professor Huxley, the eminent scientist, was an anti-tobaccoite for half his lifetime. One day a friend pursuaded him to try a mild Havana — and straightway he changed his tune!_ He found it delicious, and lived to admit “there’s no more harm in a pipe of tobacco than there is in a cup of tea.” But tobacco varies in quality just as tea does. In both cases it’s a wise plan to buy the best but not necessarily the most expensive. In the case of tobacco the best is the. genuine “toasted” which though quite moderate in price is matchless for bouquet and unrivalled for purity.. The nicotine it contains (common to all tobacco) is eliminated by toasting, and hence the harmlessness of the five famous brands—Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut. No 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold.—Advt.
