Two old shellbacks, chancing to meet at a Christchurch Social gathering were soon comparing notes. Said one: “I was once three days without food.” “That’s nothing,” replied the other, “I was once three months without tobacco.” Many a man reckons it a greater hardship to go short of baccy than to go short of tucker, and lucky is the smoker who has never experienced tobacco-hunger”—without being able to satisfy it. “The divinest herb under heaven,” as Kingsley called it, is a boon and a blessing to millions—but see that it’s the real Mackay! Most imported bVands are poisonous with nicotine. And that’s pretty bad for heart and nerves! The purest most fragrant, and far and away the most wholesome are the toasted New Zealand tobaccos. Absolutely safe to smoke because there is hardly any nicotine in them. The toasting does it! Four brands only—Riverhead Gold, Cut Plug No. 10, Cavendish, and Navy Cut No. 3. No other toasted sorts are manufactured. Bear that in mind when you ask for them.
“NEVER AGAIN” SAID CHARLIE. Charlie went to play golf and was seized with coughing. Cough, cough, he could not play a stroke. He had left his Pulmonas at home, so he just had to continue coughing because he had no Pulmonas. Pulmonas for coughs, colds, bronchitis and flu. Obtainable from all chemists
