A broadminded Christchurch parson rather startled his congregation the other Sunday by remarking from the pulpit that he saw no harm in tobacco, and that for his part he would not object if people smoked in church! The famous Spurgeon once said something of the kind when preaching at the London Metropolitan Tabernacle. He regarded tobacao as a boon and a blessing to mankind. It’s ditto, ditto to womankind, too, these days! But the great preacher was a stickler for pure baccy, and carefully avoided brands vory rich in nicotine, knowing well how injurious they are if used habitually. As a matter of fact, the imported brands are almost all loaded with nicotine. Very different are the toasted tobaccos now so popular in New Zealand. Tho toasting rids the leaf of nicotine, and imparts to it its well-known flavour and aroma. The four brands are: Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut, Cavendish and Cut Plug. These are the only toasted kinds manufactured. They arc not only delightful smoking, but absolutely safe.
