I had rather a trying experience once upon a time." writes Mr. Robert Seeley in a London weekly. "I was a young new chum, then, one of a party of prospectors in Northern Queensland. One day I wandered away from camp and get ‘bushed.’ It was nearly three weeks before they found me. and I had some adventures in the meantime, believe me! On the third day I ran out of tobacco! —smokers will sympathise. I shall never forget the first smoke 1 had after I was found—delightful: But nowadays I find the tobacco I used io smoke when on the wallaby has los* Its savour. Over-much nicotine in it. Since coming to Maoriland I have, .'smoked ‘New Zealand toasted,’ and I ask nothing better. I understand its peculiar fragrance, and comparative freedom from Nicotine in this incomI parable tobacco are due to its being | roasted. It is, certainly the finest I have ever smoked —and the least harmful.” Mr. Seeley refers to the six famous toasted brands Riverhead Gold, Desert Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, Pocket Edition; Cut Plug No. 10 arid Cavendish Mixture.
