appears to be a daily “rub” of Three Thistle Strong! http://hsconnect.com/page/content.detail/id/538821/Ethel--Nance--Scott-to-mark-102-years.html?nav=5003

Good story, I wonder what the “rub” is? Probably dipping, but it would be a hoot if she was snuffing it.

Probably rubbing it on the gums with fingers.

the longevity is a bit surprising, given that oral use of dry snuff is supposedly four times as carcinogenic as moist snuff. I guess it all depends on the genes though–I remember reading about a woman in France in her 120s who swore by rolling her own cigarettes (filterless).

yeah, but she got more exercise that way
