“What a blessing this smoking is! Perhaps the greatest we owe to the discovery of America.” Thu]-; the late Sir Arthur Helps, and millions of smokers the world over will agree with him. But great as is our indebtedness to America for giving ns the priceless boon of tobacco, the fact remains that practically all the American brands in n[se to-day contain an excess of nicotine. Ask any doctor wbat that means. He’ll tell you the risk you run in constantly smoking nicotinesoaked tobacco. But if these Ame-

Toasting rids the leaf of nicotine, and greatly enhances flavour and aroma. You can smoke toasted “till all’s blue,” and take no harm. Quite a lot of brands, too.
