Wonderful is the power of tobacco in safe-guarding smokers from infection! A lady in writing to the Auckland ‘'Star” related, how during the terrible epidemic of influenza in 1918, she volunteered to help nurse the Auckland sick, and with her assistants .tended patients innumerable in their own homes.
