Is nicotine poisonous? Well, what about the case of Alice Crawford, the young domestic, whose terrible death was recently recorded in London. One day the poor girl rushed into her mistress's presence shrieking that she Had been poisoned. Five minutes later she was dead. Appeared that her master kept a bottle of liquid nicotine in his room, used it to kill weeds. Curiosity evidently prompted deceased to taste it. Her lips and tongue were bad'y burned. And this is the deadly poison so many men absorb into their systems every time they smoke their pipes. Taken that way nicotine is slow bat. sure —and every pipeful of some tobaccos contains an appreciable quantity of the poison! Why smoke such stuff when you can get NewZealand tobacco anywhere and which, owing to its being toasted, is practically free from nicotine, quite innocuous, and famous for flavour and fragrance? There are only four brands: Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. ?,, Cavendish, and Cut Plug No. 10. But take care what you buy—there ara imitations.
