The story goes that in the early days of smoking in England a citizen of "credit and renown' (like John Gilpin) was qu'atly enjoying his pipe—(and incidentally emitting clouds of smoke from mouth and tKßtrils) when nis serving man. who had never seen anyone smi' tng before, came along, and Jumping vo the conclusion that his ma ter wa on fire, rushed to the well, and new a bucket of water with hich he drenched the unfortunate smoker in 'rcie, to "put h**n out.” One >ghs jve- that old story, but people there are. ' > this day, who throw cold water on tobacco-smoke, and refuse to be’leve in the face o' the clearest evidence that tobacco is harmless provided it ■« good and as free as may oe from nicotine. Our New Zealand tobacco, for instance, cannot do anybody any harm. It is toasted, and the toasting kills the nicotine in it. besides giving it its famous flavour and fragrance. There are but four brands bf the genuine toasted: Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog). Cavendish. Rlveread Gold, and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead).
