“Toll me,” said the tobacco-hater, excitedly “one single good point possessed by tobacco. ’ T Here lie glared defiantly' at liis fellow-passengers in the Wellington tram, and paused for a reply.” It came. “I can tell you two or three, governor,” remarked the man smoking: the big calabash. “What are they?” snapped the crank: “Firstly,” said the calabash smoker, “it wards off infection. There’s no finer disinfectant than tobacco-smoke. Ask any doctor. Secondly tobaccosmoke preserves the teeth, and prevents decay. Ask any dentist. Thirdly it bucks you up no . end when you’re feeling as elicap as twopence-half-penny. It heightens one s ,]Ol s and soothes one’s sorrows.” (Hear, Hear! — from everybody, bar the crank, who scowlingly tried to speak again, and finding they wouldn’t let him, dried up.) Yes, the.weed has many virtues, but there’s none like the four renowned toasted brands: Out. Plug No. 10, Piverhead Gold, Cavendish, and Navy Cut No. 3. For flavour and fragrance they challenge the world. Absolutely harmless, too! They arc toasted—and I safe to smoke even to excess.—Advt.
