Tobacco, always a joy to the smoker, is never, perhaps, belter appreciated Ilian on a Jong railway journey, when one lias, perforce, to remain a prisoner for hours at a time. Such is the beneficent influence of the weed that it will relieve even the tedium of travelling. But on a long journey you want a brand you can smoke "all day without tongue, throat, or nerves suffering. “Where is such tobacco obtainable?” you may ask, Whv, at any tobacconist’s! Ask for Riverhead Gold Navy Cut, Cavendish, or Cut Plug No. 10. They are all good,' and the secret of their marked superiority is that, unlike all other tobaccos, they are toasted. This process gives them their wonderful flavour and fragrance, and —more important still—largely neutralises the nicotine in the leaf, thus rendering them absolutely safe to smoke even to excess! You cannot say that of the imported brands, all of them full of nicotine, and bound lo affect the health if used habitually, because, as anv doctor will tell you, nicotine is a deadly poison. *
