Enthusiastic Johnsonians recently celebrated at Lichfield the two hundredth and twenty-third anniversary of the birth of Dr. Johnson a native of Lichfield. The supper (served by candlelight, as of old) comprised favourite dishes of the great lexicographer (including ‘roast pig with plumsauce’). After the board was cleared a huge bowl of punch made its appearance, and “churchwarden’’ pipes were distributed. AVhat. the tobacco favoured by the doctor was is not recorded. But Johnson loved his pipe. How he would have revelled in our New Zealand Toasted Tobacco!—-Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshcad) for choice. One can imagine him, as he puffed away, remarking on the excellence of this incomparable tobacco, “ricji and mellow,’’ and, thanks to the toasting, it gets when manufactured, all but free from poisonous nicotine. All four brands: Rivcrhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshcad), arc toasted (as no other tobaccos are), and appeal irresistibly to smokers. They are as innocuous as they, are delightful. A T e-s, the good old doctor would have appreciated “toasted.” —Advt.
