18 MOILING INJURIOUS ?

For the last twenty years I have been • medical

the Victoria', the Crown, and New Equitable. The tire

the examinees are in the habit of smoking, and I can now
gaurally tall by the countenance whether they are or apt
habitual smokers. If I have any doubt cm thin point an

of my prattle*, I have met with many indi-

they thought it did not agree with them ; many hart done
so at my suggestion. I have wow found one who does
ant meet most positively he has been in better health
edam and that his intellectual activity km been increased.
Iced Raglan smoked occasionally in early life and previous
to him taking the command of the army of the East, Vat after
that time, and daring the whole of Ida sojourn la the
Cl4Ollll, he never smoked at all. Is not this a tacit mane...
haggling that smoking interferes more or lees with that
high Intellectmd activity which Is required In high positions ?
I may be told that a certain 'salted permaege, whom kind-
ness of disposition is only equalled by his mond and phy-
sled courage in the discharge of all he dudes, emcees
habitually without detriment. I can only my, God grant
that it may not shorten his valuable life and impedr his

With regard to the arguments that have hem educed in

mental condition of the Turks as a nation would be one of the

appreciated; but not so a cigar smoked by a num w►o lives

the mar animal, let him be in the shape of a stockbroker's
clerk or a country voluptuary, smokes more or ism, but I
am mare it is incompatible with great and long-oontinued
intellectual activity and that amount of high living which
appears almost aeoresary to hcalth in the imperfect at-
mosphme of peat towns.
I have mentioned the fact regarding Lord Raglan, I may
add to it that both Admirals Dundm and Napier gave up

officer at Bt. floosie Hemphill, 'peaks most straw* of the
