Such a horror of tobacco-smoke had “Victoria the Good’’ that those of her guests at any of the Royal palaces who chanced to be smokers were compelled, if they craved a whiff, to indulge in their bedrooms after retiring for the night, with their heads up the chimney—lest perchance the telLtale fumes should give them away! This seems almost incredible to-day, when both sexes smoke and oven ’ exalted personages puff away freely and unashamedly, and sometimes even to excess. Excessive smoking, by the way, is not always wine, but it needn’t worry Maorilanders, because “toasted ’ is always at their service. It’s the tobacco full of nicotine that does the harm. But there’s very little nicotine in toasted. It’s cut out by the toasting. So you run no risks with these beautiful tobaccos, so sweet, pure, cool and fragrant —and so comparatively harmless. Five brands only of the genuine toasted: Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold, and Desert Gold. But take care what you buy. Worthless imitations are on the market!—Advt.
