“Mid-Victorian doctors had a habit of condemning anything that made life tolerable,” wrote Dr. Frederick Graves, in the London “Daily Express,” recently, adding, “the new school of medicine takes a different view. It has come to recognise that tobacco, for instance, is a great solace in times of worry, and for many a direct aid to mental effort and concentration.” The doctor, however, is keenly alive to the danger from excess of nicotine in tobacco. “ Pure nicotine,” he states, “like strychnine and arsenic, is now known to l.e a deadly poison.” It is. And, what is more,; practically all the brands in every .day use contain more or less of this vile stuff. The most notable exception is found in the New Zealand tobaccq, which, put through a costly purifying process in the - course- of manufacture (toasting), is rendered practically'free from nicotine and is consequently harmless to the smoker. The process also gives this famous tobacco its world renowned flavour and priceless bouquet. Note carefully^therefore only four brands: Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish and Cut Plug No. IO. 1 * Good printing is essential to any business. No matter what your requirements may be, “The Hauraki Plains Gazette” will print it accurately, neatly and promptly at a reasonable price.
