“If you can show me in Scripture any commandment ‘Thou shalt not smoke’,” said the famous preacher, C. H. Spurgeon, on one occasion when addressing a crowded congregation, ‘‘l’m ready to keep it. But I haven’t found it yet. I find ten Commandments, and it’s as much as I can do to keep them. I’ve no desire to make them into eleven or twelve. This was in answer to a brother preacher who had said smoking was wrong. There surely is no harm in smoking. But great harm may befall those who smoke the wrong tobacco! Learn to discriminate. How are you to do this? Why, it’s as simple as falling off a log!—-smoke “toasted.” It’s as renowned for its purity (it contains little nicotine, which is eliminated by-toasting) as much as it is for its beautiful bouquet and fascin“ating aroma. Five brands only of the genuine artiale. Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Pocket-Edition, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. These tobaccos soothe and calm, cheer and comfort, and being toasted, are comparatively harmless.
