"At one end of these cigarettes there is attached a älter-tip cover- ed with cork The Alter, which is 1.2 cm. long, is composed of three layers of white vegetable tisauo resembling crepe paper, with alternate layers of fine cellu lose, each of these layers being about 6 cm long. When rolled together a light compact mass re- sults, which acts as a filter to certain of the undesirable con- stituents of tobacco smoke with- out producing any "drag" in the suction. No central cavity remains through which a straight $95 stream of smoke could impinge on the tongue. The filter-tip is partly selective in its action and retains pyridine bases and nou- volatile bodies which are general- ly held to be the principal cause of throat irritation,

Additional advantages of the filter-tip comprise protection of the lips, teeth, and figures from unsightly stain, and prevention of fragments of tobacco from get- ting into the mouth. The smoke is wasted as in the ordinary is cool and sweet, and no tobacco cigarette end. The average weight of each cigarette is 1.31 g (22 to $84.30 the ounce), of which amount 83.5 per cent, is tobacco.

When analysed the following re- sults were obtained on the to bacco:

Moisture, 13.4 per cent. Ash, 9.77 per cont Oil (petroleum ether extact), 3.17

per cent.

The percentage of oil is well below the customary limit, and the tobacco itself is of a high- grade quality.

Human ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀UAUIM, ÞAR Contou

We hard tostad these cigarettes and find them to be cooler and less irritating to the mucous membrane than ordinary ciga rettes of good quality without the filter-tips. The du Maurier ciga rottes may be regarded in every. way aa satisfactory, and they con 9. cts. stituto a distinct and hygienio ad- vance in the marketing of piga rettes."

If one adds to this scientific data the facts that du Maurier cigarettes are very pleasant to smoke, inex- ponsive and very attractively box- ed, it is no longer surprising to learn that they are becoming vory popular especially with women and any one who either uses their voice a good deal of suffers from their throat.
