EARLY TOBACCO HISTORY.
Passage in an Ancient Book Describes

brown book dated 1873.

has a passage on tobacco that should
interest you. a pipe, in this passage,
is said to resemble in form a ladle. 1t
does resemble ladle, doesn't it?"
The passage in the old book ran:
in these daies the taking in of the
smoke of the Indian herbe called To-
bacco by an instrument formed like e.
little ladele, whereby ii passeth from
the mouth into the he'd and stomach, is
gretlie taken vp and vsed in England
against Rewmes and some other dis
eases ingendered in the lunges and
other parts, and not without effect.
THE herbe Tobacco is commonly of
the height of man. with CRETE long
leaves; the COLOUR of the floure is car

in form, the roote yellow with many
fillettes
"The first taste of Tobacco smoke is
vile, but aromatick and swete enough
it becomes with usuage, so as to make
men its slaves. 1t is best taken with
wine or beere."

If your teeth are fit, chew, chew,

insists on being swallowed.
If teeth are faulty, soften Grape
Nuts with hot milk or cream, or
allow to stand minute soaking in
cold cream.
There's a reason, as follows:
Grape-Nuts food is in the form
of hard and brittle granules,
intended to be ground up by the
teeth; that work not only preserves
the teeth but brings down the saliva
from the gums so necessary in the
primary work Of digestion.

food but other kinds which formerly
