The following advertisement appeared in Amrita Bazar Patrika, a newspaper published from Calcutta, on this day:
KISHORY LALL KHETTRY’S Pure and Genuine TAMBUL BIHAR. REGISTERED.
This is the only cheapest article of luxury ever invented. It can be used with pan and with tobacco. Its usefulness is manifold. It at once removes the bad smell from the mouth and strengthens the gum of the teeth. It has its medicinal properties, it is a medicine for cough and cold. It invigorates the system. When smoked mixed with tobacco, it emits a sweet aroma which lasts long and pleases the mind. In short, such an article of luxury and necessity and at the same time cheap, is not to be found in India. (Use two linseed portion(s) with tobacco and one with betel.)
