Even non-smokers must (or should) admit that tobacco is a splendid disinfectant. It was found to be so in the great plague year in England (ldflo), and in, our own day medical men often 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 brands, however, are best avoided, and _ it should, of course, be as free from nicotine as possible. The American tobaccos. bv the way. are all more or 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 leaf is toasted —-quite a novel notion —they are as remarkable for flavour as for fragrance. Your tobacconist has them. Ask for “Eiverhead Gold,” mild: “Naw Cut” (Bulldcg), medium; or ‘‘Cut Plug Xo. 10” (Bullshead), full strength.*
