They were yarning about tobacco in the smokeroom of an Auckland Club the other night. A well-known I doctor startled everybody by declari /ng that some brands were about as ' dangerous as dynamite, and mentioned the case of a man who had consulted him some time before for said the doctor,, “what brand of tobacco he used. He told me, adding that he’d smoked it for months. “ Knock it off,” I warned him, “I knwv that brand.” “What brand would you recommend, doctor?” he asked. “Why, the genuine ‘toasted’,” I said, “it’s not only the finest torn cm I know of, but the purest.” He's all right again now—and swears by ‘toasted.’ There's nothing like it.” There isn’t. But there are only five brands of the real thing, remember — ■locket Edition, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. The tAvo last are the cigarette tobaccos so popular with the roll-your-own brigade. But don’t get are no good.
