“If you notice any man of advanced years boasting natural teeth still sound and serviceable,” writes “Meerschaum” in the “Tobacco Plant,” “you don’t need to be a Sherlock Holmes to conclude the fortunate possession of those ‘ivories’ is an old smoker. Smoking is the finest preservative of the teeth known.” Yes, the weed hath its virtues, the anti-tobacs to the contrary notwithstanding! Its value as a disinfectant was demonstrated during the great plague of London while its power to solace and comfort in time of. trouble is acknowledged by millions the world over. But to get the best out of tobacco its quality should be the best — “toasted.” for choice, because toasting deprives it of most of its nicotine while at. the same time enhancing flavour and aroma. But mind I— the only genuine toasted blends are: Cut Plug No IP (Bullshead), Cavendish, Navy Cut No 3 (Bulldog), Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold —as sweet, fragrant, cool and comforting as tobacco can be made. Their great popularity, however, has had the usual result. Worthless imitations are ion the market. Beware!*
