"I asked him.” said the doctor, "whit brand of tobacco he used. He told mo. adding that he’d smoked it for months. "Knock it off," 1 warned him, "I know that brand.” "What brand would you I recommend, doctor?" he asked. "Why the genuine ‘toasted ," I said, "It s not only the finest tobacco I know of, but the purest." He's all right again now I —and swears by ‘toasted'. There’s nothing like it." There isn't. But there are only five brands of the real thing, remember —Cavendish. Navy Gut No. 3 (Bulldog . cut Plug No. it) 1 (Bullshead). Rivorhead Cold and lies- 1 ert Gold. The two last are the cigar- 1 rile tobaccos so popular with the roll- ! your-own brigade. But don't get • “stung" when you buy ! Imitations I are. no good.
