Meeting by chance at a Wellington restaurant they got yarning about diet —and doctors. “It’s seldom I trouble doctors,” laughed one, “but last Christmas I had to. Nerves all to pieces. Doctor asked if I smoked much. Cigarettes, I told him. Four packets a day.” He clicked his- tongue. “Cut ’em out,” he says. Then he laughed. “Don’t like my prescription?’ says he, ‘well, drop the packet cigarettes and roll your own. Use toasted New Zealand. Then you can smoke all you want. No harm in toasted —practically free from nicotine.’ Well, I took his tip. Nerves quieted down after a bit. Right as rain now!—and I’ msaving money. Rolling your own comes a heap cheaper than ready-mades.” “Don’t I know it,” says the other chap. “Roll my own myself. Smoke Desert Gold. Splendid! —and mind you one freshrolled cigarette is worth fifty mach-ine-made.” Carried unanimously! There are only five brands of toasted, all told—Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Pocket Edition, Desert Gold and Riverhead Gold. Delicious, all five —and so harmless!
