“Advice?” said the bus driver to his ancient cobber, “Why, I’ve ’ad enough of it to fill a book! give me by ‘fares’ one time and another, one of ’em told me ’e was a doctor, and said if I didn’t knock orf smoking quick and lively it’d knock me orf. Me nock orf smoking? Yes, I don’t think! But I tell you what—l chucked the bacca I’d been smoking so long and changed over to toasted. That was twenty years ago, that was, and I’m still going strong! Take it from me there’s nothing wrong with toasted! Pretty nigh all the nicotine in it is toasted clean out, and believe me, it’s a fair treat to smoke and no error! Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead) is my partikier fancy, but there’s four other prime toasted blends—Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog) Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold, and my word ‘toasted’s the goods.’ ” Our old friend the bus driver (familiar to thousands of newspaper readers) is right when he says “toasted’s a fair treat to smoke.” It is.
