‘'When tobacco has a very pronounced ‘bite’,” remarked the coroner at a Chicago inquest (or “autopsy/ ’ as the Americans say), “it is obvious that it contains too mueh nicotine, and the habitual use of sueli tobacco is certainly unwise. It appears that in this ease deceased (a house decorator, who died while smoking his pipe), was a heavy smoker, sometimes using as much as two ounces of tobacco a day. This tobacco, a sample of which I have analysed, was unusually strong. It 9 nicotine content was three times as great as it should have been. It gradually affected the heart, and its cumulative effect was undoubtedly the cause of death.” Happily New Zealanders run no such risk. Our beautiful New Zealand tobacco is toasted, and this process (necessitating the employment of elaborate machinery and skilled labour), safeguards the smoker, because it draws out the poisonous nicotine, besides imparting to the tobacco its famous flavour and unequalled fragrance. There are four toasted brands: Biverliead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead). They are unique. 327
