It was found to be so in the great plague ve.ar in England (lGfio), and in our own day medical men if ten consider it invaluable in helping to ward off infection. But it is-in times of mental stress that so many value it. Every smoker knows how comforting.it is in time of trouble. Inferior brand-V* however, are best avoided, andj. .it should,-q£ course, be ashfree from, nitotine as possible. The. American tobaccos, by the way, are all hioreYor less loaded with the latter, but our New Zealand varieties, on the other hand, contain very little. Hence their appeal to the smoker, who can go on puffing them all day long if he likes without fear of consequences. , And, owing to the fact that the le&fMs toasted—quite -a novel notion—they are as remarkable for flavour as for fragrance.
