“When tobacco has a very pronounced ‘bite’,” remarked the Coroner at a Chicago inquest (or “autopsy,” as the Americans say), “It is obvious that it contains too much nicotine, and the habitual Use of such tobacco is “certainly unriise. It appears that in this case deceased (a house decorator, who died while smoking his pipe), was a heavy smoker, sometimes using as much as two ounces of tobacco a day. This tobacco, a sample of which I hdve analysed, was unusually strong.' Its nicotine content was three times as great as It should have been. It gradually affected the heart, and its cumulative effect was undoubtedly the 1 * cause of death.” Happily New Zealanders run no such rlsfc. Our beautiful New Zealand tobacco is toasted, and this process (necessitating the employment of olaborate machinery and skilled labor) safegards the smoker, because it draws out tho poisonous nidotine besides imparting to tho tobacco its famous flavor and unequalled fragrance. There are four toasted brands: Riverhoad Gold, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, and Cut'Plug No; lft (Bullshead). They 1 are unique.
