A well-known English surgeon (retired) recently published his “'Reminiscences,” and among other amusing stories he relates how oni one occasion a man called to consult him about a septic finger. ‘"‘Why didn’t you come to me before?” queried the surgeon after an examination. “Fact is, doctor,” said the patient with a twinkle in his eye, “whenever there is anything wrong with me—no matter what it is—my wife insists upon my knocking off smoking.” 'Surgeon and patient had. a hearty laugh. “Tobacco,” said the surgeon, “is often found “guilty’ by its enemies when it is obviously quite innocent. When it’s at fault it is usually because there’s too much nicotine in it.” Happily New Zealanders needn’t worry about that. There’s very little nicotine in our toasted tobacco. Take any one of the five famous brands—'Riverhead Gold, Desert Gold, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), ’Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead) 1 , also tailormades—and you have not only a perfect tobacco, unrivalled for flavour and fragrance, but a perfectly harmless one.’
