  market, 
  thus 
  securing 
  to 
  the 
  trade 
  the 
  very 
  best. 
  Millions 
  

   have 
  used 
  and 
  still 
  use 
  this 
  celebrated 
  smoking 
  tobacco, 
  who 
  

   give 
  little 
  thought 
  to 
  its 
  manner 
  of 
  preparation, 
  or 
  the 
  vast 
  

   dmountof 
  capital, 
  skill 
  and 
  energy 
  requisite 
  to 
  successfully 
  

   manufacture 
  wliat 
  is 
  now 
  known, 
  ifrom 
  the 
  unique 
  and 
  orig- 
  

   inal 
  way 
  of 
  advertising 
  in 
  all 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  habitable 
  globe. 
  

   Who 
  has 
  not 
  seen 
  the 
  trade 
  mark 
  of 
  the 
  bull? 
  — 
  the 
  right 
  to 
  

   use 
  which 
  has 
  been 
  awarded 
  solely 
  to 
  this 
  establishment 
  by 
  

   the 
  United 
  States 
  Courts, 
  thereby 
  protecting 
  the 
  firm 
  in 
  

   what 
  they 
  originated, 
  and 
  under 
  which 
  brand 
  their 
  fame 
  

   has 
  become 
  absolute. 
  All 
  attempts 
  at 
  imitation 
  have 
  failed. 
  

   Tl;e 
  goods 
  put 
  on 
  the 
  market 
  possess 
  a 
  charming 
  flavor 
  that 
  

   no 
  one 
  can 
  even 
  imitate; 
  and 
  the 
  smoker 
  at 
  once 
  recognizes 
  

   the 
  genuine 
  article. 
  

  

  This 
  factory 
  has 
  been 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  potent 
  instrumen- 
  

   talities 
  in 
  the 
  building 
  up 
  of 
  Durham. 
  The 
  vast 
  amount 
  of 
  

   money 
  it 
  distributes 
  finds 
  lodgment 
  in 
  the 
  hands 
  of 
  all 
  

   classes, 
  and 
  is 
  an 
  ever 
  unfailing 
  source 
  of 
  revenue 
  to 
  the 
  

   town. 
  So 
  much 
  for 
  its 
  home 
  benefits, 
  and 
  now 
  as 
  to 
  the 
  

   world 
  : 
  The 
  old 
  brands 
  of 
  smoking 
  tobacco 
  have 
  disap- 
  

   peared 
  from 
  the 
  marts 
  of 
  commerce, 
  and 
  in 
  their 
  stead 
  is 
  

   the 
  celebrated 
  granulated 
  tobacco 
  manufactured 
  by 
  this 
  

   firm, 
  and 
  possessing 
  a 
  superiority 
  born 
  of 
  the 
  result 
  of

  In

  analyses, 
  I 
  find 
  the 
  proportion 
  of 
  nitrogen 
  is 
  given 
  

   much 
  higher; 
  and 
  for 
  this 
  reason 
  I 
  was 
  particularly 
  anxious 
  to 
  verify 
  my 
  re- 
  

   sults 
  by 
  repeated 
  determinations, 
  which 
  closely 
  agreed 
  in 
  the 
  second 
  decimals, 
  

   and 
  leave 
  no 
  doubt 
  in 
  my 
  mind 
  that 
  the 
  Fancy 
  Bright 
  Granville 
  Tobacco 
  con- 
  

   tains 
  a 
  comparatively 
  very 
  small 
  amount 
  of 
  nitrogenous 
  (albuminous) 
  com- 
  

   pounds. 
  Perhaps 
  tliis 
  explains 
  the 
  delicate 
  flavor 
  of 
  the 
  Tobacco 
  smoke 
  of 
  this 
  

   kind 
  of 
  Tobacco; 
  for 
  it 
  is 
  well 
  known 
  that 
  albuminous 
  and 
  other 
  nitrogenous 
  

   compounds, 
  when 
  largely 
  present 
  in 
  materials 
  submitted 
  to 
  dry 
  distillation 
  

   (and 
  smoking 
  is 
  a 
  familiar 
  illustration 
  of 
  destructive 
  dry 
  distillation) 
  give 
  off 
  

   disagreeable-smelling 
  ammoniacal 
  vapours, 
  reminding 
  one 
  moreor 
  less 
  of 
  singed 
  

   feathers 
  or 
  burnt 
  horn.

  it 
  may,
