The cniNOARORA TOBACCO grows from the rich soil of the '-OIUKNT." aud la possessed oI s dmi liiirly delicious flavor, entirely unknown to tha tobaccos of all otiier climes. Hut its unprecedented popularity has sprung from the fact of the entire ah senceof tlial deadly poison, A'imlin. which DermeatM every other totiacco, and which is the one aud sola cause of the distressing nervous diseases dysnensia etc.. which most invariably, sooner or later ioll7i; the indulgence oftiie pipe and cigar. At the recent analyzatlon of tobacco trom all parts of the world at the Academy of hclences, in Paris, the reoownnt Clieuiist, M. Laniouteaux, declared that while Kurn. peau and American tobacco contained fully eight np cent., and the purest Havana tobacco from two to (JT per cent, of Aimfin, the CH1NGARORA did not con? tain one discoverable particle of that deadly poison m drop of which, extracted, will destroy lite. ' Our Agent at ROM BAV has shipped us large nnan. titles ol the CHINUARORA during the last two years, and although we have been pressed toaupnlv the demand for this delicious luxury to the veteran smoker, yet we are now prepared to oiler It In un limited quantities, at a pi Ice much lower thau soma American tobacco of a lar Inferior quality. A connoisseur has hut to smoke the American to bacco aud cigars, which are luvarliibly chemically flavored, to he disgusted with the medicinal taste which leaves a nauseous, unhealthy coating In tha mouth, aud in time never lalls to shatter the uervoua system. 'The natives of the "ORIENT" smoke theCIIIN fiAltORA Irom morn till night, trom voutli to age and are happily unconscious ot the wild, distressing lire which courses tin ough the veins of the inhalar of the Iniiies of tobacco containing Nicolin, We invito every lover ofthe weed to try tue CJilN OA UORA, and guarantee unprecedented pleasure lu us delicious tlavor. bold everywhere.
