j.. w. Shaeffer & Co., tobacconists,
1923 Sacramento street, San Francisco,
have the following of vital Importance
to say:
at a large expense we have purchas-
ed fsom Professor Hartwig, formerly
of Guys hospital in London, the Be-
cret of practically extracting the great
est part Of the nicotin from tobacco,
thereby preventing the pernicious eff
fects arising from the constant use Of
the weed. Our new cigar. s'Bon Ton,n
is made from Havana tobacco, from
which we have extracted nearly all the
poisonous principle, but left the resin
GUS matter, which imparts to the cigar
a fine aromatic flavor. Every smoker,
at times, has said, upon being offered a
cigar mo. 1 have smoked enoughi'
Under such conditions he instinctively
feels that he is under the influence of
the nicotin, which his system has alb
sorbed, and is exerting its deleterious
effects by disturbing the functions of
his brain. No such truly alarming
consequences will result from smoking
our s'Bon Tom cigar, because the dan
gerous poison of the nicotin is gone,
and its exquisite qualities alone remain
to crafty the senses of smell and taste.
1t will be astonishing to consumers,
that the smoking of "Bon Ton"
cigars causes no desire to expectorate,
produces no dryness of the palate, no
throbbing of the temples, and does not
destroy the appetite for food. II smok-
ing is INDUCED in at all, why not smoke
a bon Ton" instead of unknown
brands, which may contain the worst
of goods, and hurtful to the system,
upon which nicotin makes truly fearful,
If the lungs are not powerful enough to
throw off the noxious poison?
The tobacco trade carried on in San
Francisco forms one of Its most active
and prominent interests, and, for a
matter which may fairly be considered
one of luxury rather than of necessity,
it covers an astonishing extent of COM
mercial area, and finds patronage in a
large proportion of every class in San
Francisco society. The leading tobac-
conists to- day in the city of the Golden
Gate are the Messrs. ]. w. Shaeffer &
Co., patentees of the celebrated Screen
Seal" cigars, as well as other import
ant facilities for catering to the wants
of the nnb1ic in their line
They take pleasure in announcing
that they have. appointed as their sole
agent for Wyoming,
