At a Poplar (London/ inquest recently touch’ng (he death of a waterside worker, it transpired that deceased was quietly smoking his pipe by the kitchen fire after tea when he suddenly collapsed and died. It appeared that he was a heavy smoker, and habitually used a brand of American tobacco which the doctor who made the post-mortem described as • containing a high percentage of nicotine, and the constant smoking of which, he said, had doubtless affected the heart in the course of years. Such cases are not uncommon. Nicotine is a powerful poison, and is found in excess in most tobaccos of American origin. In marked contrast are, our own New Zealand tobaccos. Subjected to a special roasting or toasting process, these goods are practically free from nicotine, while for flavour and aroma they challenge the world! Deprived of nearly all their nicotine, they are quite safe and may be smoked ad libitum without fear of consequence. Four brands only, remember: Riverhead Gold, Navy- Cut.,No. 3, Cavendish and Cut Plugj No. 10.*
