A famous London (Harley Street) specialist’s tribute to the value of tobacco: “The ground on which tobacco holds so firm a footing is that of nearly every luxury, it is the least injurious. It does infinitely less harm than opium. It is in no sense worse than tea. Also, a thorough smoker is never a glutton. It brings quiet to the over-worn body and restless mind. The over-wrought man finds in it a quietus for his exhaustion.” But the doctor insists that tobacco must be “pure.” Well, if purity is to be the criterion, how many of the foreign tobaccos will fill the bill? Brands reeking with nicotine assuredly cannot be considered "pure”! If you want a really pure article, go for the tobaccos grown and manufactured in New Zealand by the National Tobacco Company (pioneers of the New Zealand tobacco industry). Hardly any nicotine in them, because they are toasted. They are peculiarly soothing, eool, fragrant, and delicious. Ask for Riverhead Gold, Desert Gold (mild), Navy Cut or Cavendish (medium), or Cut Plug No, 10 (full strength).*
