“If you ever feel like that again, go and get a feed. No man has ever been known to commit suicide after a meal.” Such was the sensible advice tendered by Mr Hunt, the well-known Auckland Magistrate, recently to a man charged with attempting to make away with himself. Eating, as everybody knows, raises the spirits and induces the despondent to take a more hopeful view of things—especially if followed by a comfortable smoke. But the tobacco must be good if its to “drive dull care away." A pipe is best in such cases, and the unhappy one cannot do better than fill up with “toasted.” There are only five brands. Three are for the pipe: Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, and Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog). The other two, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold, make the finest cigarettes you ever smoked You can roll ten full-sized ones for 4d or less. There’s no harm in these tobaccos. Toasting sees to that. Sweet, fragrant and comforting they are wonderful dispellers of the blues. . .
