Interesting to smokers! Professor Shelcraft, an English analytical chemist of repute, has been experimenting with nicotine, and solemnly warns smokers of the danger of using habitually brands of tobacco containing a heavy percentage of this wellknown poison. Although, says the professor, it is possible to use such brands for years without ill-effects manifesting themselves, it can only be a question of time when they do. Then the smoker’s nerves may go to pieces, or heart trouble develop as the result of smoking the wrong tobacco! Such cases are common, although their origin is not always suspected. Happily, Dominion smokers are not exposed to risks of this kind, because our New Zealand tobacco contains so little nicotine that it really doesn’t count. The special purifying process to which it is subjected in the factory removes most of the nicotine content. Hence its unusual purity, fine flavour, and delightful fragrance. There are six choice brands: Riverhead Gold, Desert Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, Pocket Edition, Cut Plug No. 10, and Cavendish; also Riverhead and Desert Gold tailormades. All toasted.—Advt.
