Poisonous tobacco—is there such a thing? Of course there is! A wellknown London news specialist has just been telling the world that impure tobacco, i.e., tobacco poisonous with nicotine, is a common cause of nerve trouble (and heart trouble), now so prevalent, and deploring the fact that the 20th century, so profific in discoveries of vital importance to humanity, has not yet solved the problems of producing tobacco from which the poisonous nicotine has been eliminated. Yet such tobacco has been grown, manufactured, and 1 in general use in New Zealand for many years past. This, of course, is the famous “toasted,” which, subjected to a special purf'ying process, emerges sweet, cool, frgrant and comforting, and as free from nicotine as tobacco can possibly be. There are only five brands of the real thing, the genuine toasted—Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold. Desert Gold, also tailormades. Try any of these and you won’t want to change over to anything else. All toasted, and no sore throat, no cough!—ssB. I E E R TO Ballins Breweries (N.Z.) Ltd., Christchurch.
