I, JAMES JOSEPH DUFFY of Carrickmacross,' County. Monaghan, Ireland,
Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has reference to the utilization of plugs in connection with
smoking pipes for the purpose of absorbing the deleterious ingredients found in
tobacco known as "nicotine."
In carrying out my invention I propose to utilize the substance commercially
known as "pumice" which I form into plugs of suitable size and couvenient shape;
or I may use other similar stone, clay, or composition which possesses an absorbing
quality.
By placing this plug in the bowl of the pipe it will be found that it readily
absorbes the nicotine, and enables the tobacco to be smoked dry, sweet, and clean
to the last particle.
The plug may be used with any class of pipe.
