Doctors may differ regarding the harmlessness of tobacco, hut the famous London physician, Sir Bruce Porter, entertains mo doubt on the subject. “I know,” he says, “tobacco is an extreme comfort to a great many, and I wish more particularly to reassure old folks that they may not bo terrified from enjoying one of the few pleasures remaining to those of advanced years. Tobacco in moderation is not going to do them any harm.” So far from that ifc may do them a great deal of good, provided it’s as pure as it ought to be. Unfortunately it very often isn’t. The constant use o;f tobacco full of nicotine may seriously affect the heart or wreck the nerves; well, there’s no occasion for any Maorilaaider to run such risks. The Dominion’s famous toasted, blends : Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bullclog), Cavendish, Eiverhead Gold, and Desert Gold, are as sweet, cool, fragrant, and solacing—being toasted—as oven Sir Bruce Porter can desire. Ask for the brands named and avoid worthless imitations. Tlieroa aro several about. N. 669.
