Dr. Lankester, formerly a well-known London Coroner, once wrote with regard to tobacco: “1 daro not as a physiologist tell you that there exists any proof of its injurious influence when used in moderation. But the first symptoms of giddiness, sickness, palpitation weakness or uneasiness while smoking should induce you to lay it aside. Neglect these warnings and you may seriously embarras your health.” The unpleasaut symptoms referred to by the doctor often follow the continued use of foreign tobaccos, but never the continual use of your own beautiful New Zealand brands. It’s all a question of nicotine. Most foreign brands are full of it. The New Zea land brands contain very little, also the leaf is toasted. This develops the flavour and renders the tobacco mellow, eliminating bite. Rivcrhcad Gold, mild, so is Cavendish (the sportsman’s [smoke), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), medium, and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), full strength.*
