Although lie strongly condemns smoking to excess, Dr. Alexander, .Medical Officer of Poplar (London), admits that smoking has its virtues, and is “a powerful germicide.” He instances the ease of a big cigar factory at Hamburg, at which, during an epidemic, not a single workman was attacked by the disease! Hated and abused by its enemies, nothing can really be proved against tobacco save that the imported brands too often contain an excess of nicotine. However, as far as New Zealanders are concerned, that needn’t worry them! Because our choice New Zealand tobaccos are all toasted, and the toasting extracts the nicotine in dogue quick time, leaving the weed so pure, sweet and fragrant that it has an irresistible appeal for smokers everywhere. Toasted tobacco cannot do anyono any harm. There, arc only four brands: —Riverhead Gold, Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3, and Cut Plug No. TO’. Buyers should make a note of this, because the success of the toasted tobaccos is bringing out imitations. 192
