Reported from Melbourne that a new climn employed as a rmisnhout on a big up country station accidentally swallowed some sheep dip—with fatal results. The dip, it was shown at the inquest, contained a quantity of nicotine. Hence the tragedy!_ Of course, as most people know, nicotine is a deadly poison. And yet smokers innumerable are (often - without realising it) constantly exposing themselves to needless " risk by smoking tobacco loaded with nicotine. Of course, when consumed in the pipe bad tobacco acts comparatively slowly. But “it gets there all the" same,” and its habitual use may be attended with disastrous results. - Be on the safe side and use “toasted.” The toasting this famous tobacco gets at the factory frees it to a large extent from nicotine and this renders it practically harmless. As for flavour and aroma toasted—thegenuine toasted—stands absolutely alone. There is no tobacco to compare with it. If you avoid worthless imitations ask for Cut Plug No. 10 (Bnllshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold or Desert Gold.
