Amy Johnson confesses that on mcie than one occasion when face to face with grave peril while making that historic flight of hers she found a cigarette a real comfort. Men have very long since discovered the power of the weed to cheer and solace when danger threatens. It steadies the nerves, keeps hope and courage alive. "There’s no' herb like it under heaven,” as Kingsley said. Although tobaccos differ so widely the imported brands arc all alike in one important respect—they generally contain an excess of nicotine which renders their habitual use most unwise. To smoke l hem daily is asking for trouble, because nicotine is a deadly poison and is bound, sooner or later, to affect heart or nerves —pet haps both. The safest tobaccos of all are the toasted Tew Zealand. The toasting kills the nicotine, so that you can smoke them every day (and all day long if you like), without risk to health or wellbeing. There are only four brands of toasted—Riverhead Gold, Cavendish Navy Cut No. 3, and Cut Plug No. JO. All famous for bouquet uud flavour.*
