BRAND. 
The proprietors of “ Nicoticide " (Registered Trade Mark), who are the largest manufacturers of Nicotine in the 
World having observed, with regret, the unnecessarily high prices which consumers of vaporizing compounds containing 
Nicotine havi heretofore been compelled to pay, have decided to place on the market themselves, their compound under 
the regis'ered name of “ Nicoticide,” at very much reduced prices. The compound is guaranteed to be not only as strong, 
but purer and more efficacious than any at present offered to the public the Nicotine being extracted from Duty free 
Tobacco, and subject to analysis by H.M.s Customs. 
The COMPOUND FOR VAPORIZING is sold in bottles, as follows: . 
t S ize-1 pint, containing sufficient for 40,000 c.ft., 15/- each.
