What some famous doctors think about tobacco: Dr. Lancaster (formerly a well-known coroner): “I dare not, as a physiologist, tell you there is any proof existing of the injurious effects of good tobacco used in moderation.” Dr. Wallace Robertson: “Of almost all luxuries tobacco is the least injurious.” Dr. Willoughby Begets: “Tobacco is a very useful sedative. It rests the brain and prevents the human machine from over-working. It steadies the nerves.” Sir Bruce Porter: “Tobacco is an extreme comfort to a great many, and old people should not be afraid to enjoy one of the few pleasures remaining to people of advanced years.” But all these authorities insist on “pure” tobacco, and probably of the hundreds of brands on the markets of the world the purest are our own New Zealand ones. Toasted, and therefore almost free from nicotine, sweet, fragrant and delightful, they are universally popular. Five brands only, remember: Riverhead Gold. Desert Gold. Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish, and Cut 1 Plug No. 10. These are the only toasted tobaccos manufactured. R.P. 33
