But I dodge nerve tension by letting up__lighting up a Camel whenever I can. I find Camels so soothing! (left) When busy, strenuous days put your nerves on the spot, take a tip from the wire fox terrier pictured here. Despite his almost humanly complex nerve system, he quickly halts in the midst of any activity, to relax---ease his nerves. So often, we humans ignore this instinctive urge to break tension. We may even take pride in our will to drive on relentlessly, forgetting that tiring nerves may soon be jittery nerves! Yet the welfare of your nerves is really vital to your success, to your happiness. Make it your pleasant rule to pause regularly--to Let Up---Light Up A Camel. Start today--add an extra measure of comfort to your smoking with Camel's finer, costlier tobaccos. Costlier Tobaccos Camels are made from finer, More Expensive Tobaccos. . .Turkish and Domestic. Let Up__Light Up A Camel! Smokers find Camel's Costlier Tobaccos are soothing to the nerves.
