Barnum, the famous American showman, was once asked what invention or discovery had, in his opinion, contributed most to the sum of human happiness and enjoyment. Without hesitation lie replied: “The invention or discovery of smoking.” He wasn’t far wrong. Tobacco is like a good wife*—its halves our sorrows and doubles our joys. But it must be good. If full of nicotine, .like the imported brands, habitual indulgence in it must, • sooner or later, end in heart or nerve trouble. Tt’s nbt so with our New Zealand grown brands, manufactured by the National Tobacco Co., Ltd., (pioneers of the Dominion tobacco industry). These are the only toasted tobaccos procurable, and the toasting kills the nicotine in them and renders them quite harmless. The flavour is delightful. and the bouquet peculiarly fine. No wonder they are capturing the market! There are various brands, those most in request being “Riverhead Gold,” a delicious aromatic; “'Cavendish,” famous sporting mixture; “Navy Cut,” a choice blend, medium; and “Cut Plug No. 10,” the old smoker’s favourite. —Advt.
