A bard nut to crack! “Scientists the world over," writes Mr. Amos Scrope in the Chicago “Witness,” “have been trying for ages to eliminate wholly the nicotine itom tobacco, have found it. a tough nut to crack and given it up as a bad job. But I understand tho. manufacturers of New Zealand tobacco have actually cracked that nut, hard as it is! A relative of mine resident in the city of Wellington informs me that the Dominion tobacco is not only the very finest quality—but —mark this! —is almost free from nicotine. How is it done? Well, it seems that they subject the tobacco to -great heat, roast it, in fact { and so much of the poisonous nicotine is expelled that the rest, doesn’t matter! Thus treated the tobacco' is rendered harmless. So far as I know this, is the- only toasted tobacco produced.” Quite correct, Mr. Scrope. All that is necessary to add is that there are four brands only: Eiverhead .Gold;:. Navy Out No. 3, Cavendish and Oat Plug No. 10. —323.
