They were yarning about tobacco in the smoke-room of an Auckland Club the other night. A well-known doctor startled everybody by declaring that some brands were about as dangerous as dynamite, and mentioned the caSe of a man who had consulted him some time before for bad throat trouble. “I asked him,” said the doctor, “what brand of tobacco he used. He told me, adding that he’d smoked it for months. “Knock it off,” I warnedi him, “I know that brand.” “What brand would you recommend, doctor?” he asked. “Why, the genuine ‘toasted’,” I said, “it’s not only the finest tobacco I know of, but the purest.” He’s all right again nci.v —and swears by ‘toasted.’ There’s nothing like it.” There isn’t. But there are only five brands of the real thing, remember Cavendish,, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. The two last are the cigarette tobaccos so popular with the rcll-your-own brigade. But don’t get ‘stung” when you buy! Imitations are no good, R.P.14
