A gossip-note writer says that after a Turkish bath he has all the sy/ptoms of intoxication. It certainly does make one feel rather stewed.
“Lumme!” said the bus driver, as a mate of his climbed up alongside, “Wot’s wrong, old cobber? You look as if yon . was goin ’ to your own funeral, or somefln’l Why don’t you learn to smoke and-make your miserable life ’appy? What? Don’t link you could? ’Ow do you know if you never tried? Take it from me there’s nothin’ ’arf so sweet in life as a pipe of good bacca —toasted, of course, ’cause there ain’t no bacca in it wif toasted. Try Riverhead Gold. It makes _ bosker cigarettes, but goes well in a pipe. So does Desert Gold. When you want somefln’ stronger there’s Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), or Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead). Once you start to smoke toasted you won’t want to leave it orf. It fair gets you! ’Armless, too. No nicotine in toasted. ’Ow do I know? ’Cause I smoke it ineself. Gettin orf? Well, ta ta! Likewise so long and cheerio! You’ll live to thank me for giving you the straight griffin abaht toasted! ” And so he did!
