Doctors may differ regarding the harmlessness of tobacco, but the famous 'London physician, Sir Bruce Porter, entertains no doubt on the subject. “I know,” he says, ‘‘tobacco is an extreme comfort to a great many, and I wish more particularly to reassure old folk so that they may not be terrified from enjoying one of the few pleasures remaining to those of advanced years. Tobacco in moderation is not going to do them any harm.” So far from that, it may do them a great deal of good', provided it’s as pure as it ought to be. Unfortunately, it very often isn’t. The constant use of tobacco full of nicotine may seriously affect the heart or wresk the nerves. Well, there’s no occasion for any Maorilander to run such risks. The Dominion’s famous toasted blends, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullsheadj, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold, are as sweet, cool, fragrant and solacing—being toasted—as even Sir Bruce porter can desire. Ask for the bands named and avoid worthless imitations. There are several about.
