Amy Johnson confesses that on more than one occasion when face to face with grave peril while making that historic flight of hers she found a cigarette a real comfort. Men have very long since discovered the power of the weed to cheer and solace when danger threatens. It steadies the nerves, keeps hope and courage alive.

Although tobaccos differ so widely the imported brands are all alike in one important respect—they generally contain an excess of nicotine which renders their habitual use most unwise. To smoke them daily is asking for trouble, because nicotine Is a deadly poison and is bound, sooner or later, to affecu heart or nerves—perhaps both. The safest tobaccos of all are the toasted New Zealand. The toasting kills the nicotine, so that you can smoke than evry day (and all day long if you like), without risk to health or wellbeing. There are only four brands of toasted—Riverhead Gold, Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3, and Cut Plug No. 10. All famous for bouquet and flavour.
