A lady doctor in England has just declared that, smoking is a wonderful preservative of the teeth, and that although the teeth of some smokers may be discoloured they arc generally sounder than those of the non-smokers. So many hard things have been said about tobacco that it is refreshing to find a. lady—and a lady medico at that —putting in a good word for the weed. Of course, every smoker knows that smoking prevents or arrests dental decay. What every smoker docs not know, or at all events ignores, is that an excess of nicotine in tobacco is highly injurious. And that’s where our New Zealand tobaccos come in. Being comparatively free from nicotine, they may be smoked almost incessantly without, affecting the nerves or heart. Moreover they are all toasted —hence their fine flavour, and delightful aroma. Made in several strengths they appeal to all tastes. Riverhead Gold, mild and aromatic; Toasted Navy Cut (Bulldog) is a fragrant medium; ami Cut Plug No. 10 (Bull’s Head) a fine full flavoured tobacco. They are on sale everywhere. —22 On Saturday next at 2 p.m. Harley and Co.
