LORILLAAD'S "TACI1T CLUB"

eotinizcu, ic cannot injure neveless constitu
tions, or people of sedentary habits.
It is produced from selections of the finest
stock, and prepared by a patented and original
manner.
It is very aromatic, mild, and lightweight
hence it will last much longer than others;
nor does it burn or sting the tonguo, or leave a
disagreeable after-taste.
Orders for genuine, elegantly carved
Meerschaum Pipes, silver mounted, and pack
ed in neat leather pocket cases, are pla e idn
