Smoking does not always
soothe
Too much smoking gives rise to throat-irritation with its attendant discomforts. There is nothing better than the "Allenburys' Glycerine" and Black Currant Pastilles to allay this irritation and clear the voice. Their delicious flavour refreshes the palate and renders the next pipe or cigarette more enjoyable
