ers.-The undersigned offer to the consumers OF
Smoking Tobacco, an article which has been pro-
nounced by all who have tested it, superior 10 any
which has yet been offered to the public. The pc
eu.ar advantage of the article which they offer, is
this: in al tobacco there is concrete oil, Nicotine,
cne OF its active principles and which is eminently
poisonous The effects of this principle are disa-
greeably felt, more or less. upon the nerves and
stomach, by al smokers. The Tobacco offered by
the undersigned has been entirely deprived Of its
poisonous properties, whilst, at the same time, it
retains al its fragrant and aromatic qualities So
mild and pleasant has il been rendered that persons
Of weak nerves can use il without inconvenience
Ii has the additional advantage that it does not leave
hat strong and pungent odor perceptble and
offensive in close rooms.
