With reference to cigars, as 1s well known, they contain more or less nicotine, which is poison; however, if the tobacco is of proper Grade and correctly cured and cleanly manufactured, there will be PARIS, Jan, 12+A1 eccentric olf Amefican woman, known at the United States Legation and Consulate for the | taet’ twenty years under the name of “Lady Livingstone,” has dicd here un- der extraordinary circumstances, Ing a large fortune for unknown he’ ies and incompatibility constant trouble for chiefly to make com- Plalnt of the agtione of her neighbors Oise she called continually on the! found in such properly made cigars just enough nicotine to be of merican She alway Greased: thntdetiealiy,. but hygienic value in preventing the smoker from catching contagtous diseases, and also frequently cure mombraneous mucous disease germe. Therefore the United States Health Reports go on record as ing that cigars can be made (and in this instance have been found 12 be healthful, sanitary and of hygienic value. Toasmuch as we are looked to for unbiased reports on such mat- ters, solely for the public welfare, as an instituted and dependable authority on matters of health for the benefit of the American public ~and inasmuch as we have received many inquiries on this subject— and have instituted an examination into this matter and have investi- @ated 2 great number of the various brands of cigars offered the publie, we have found that the “Lucke's Rolls” and “Lucke’s Rolled Cigars,” made by J. H. Lacke @ Co., of Cincinnati, 0., were perfect and came up to every exacting qualification. They are made of finest tropical tobacco, hygienically handled from the very start, and manufactured according to the best methods known to science, Extreme cleanliness is required in every handling, and they reach the consumer with the absolute guarantee that they combine the very best qualities possible to be contained in a cigar. Knowing the wholesomeness of this product, we advise the use of these goods by all who wish a healthful smoke. Upon the highly favorable report of our Hygienic Experts and Medical Staff we cor- dially extend to the Lucke Cigars and Rolls our editorial and ofeial indorsoment. A. N. TALLEY, M. D., For United States Health Reports, Washington, D. C., Jan. 2, 1900. The above is the first and only high authoritative recognition ever given any make of cigars in this country. Critics have said it looks as if the government wishes to encourage the products of our new island, Porto Rico. But that is not the reason of above important testimony. The reason is that the stock used in Rolled Cigars ate tender young leaves—tropical loam-soil, new growths of fine, delicate, but rich-tasting tobacco, And you can smoke them all day, enjoying every whiff without a trace of nausea. THE ABOVE REVEALS ONLY ONE REASON why you should call for and insist upon getting Rolled Cigars from your dealer. There are THREE OTHER REASONS. 1, The quick make and absence pf binder brings the price down to 2ay-for-value-only—no paying for useless carefulness in shap- ing, binding and finishing. 3 3 They look O. K. in the mouth~are full cigar size—and are a nest smoke, holding the ash without flecky droppings-off on one's clothes. 3, These goods—by rearon of their close price—have no champions except among consumers. Thére is no urging or effort to sell them by dealers. Please do us the favor to remember these points until you have the opportunity to try them. We can't remind you EVERY DAY.
