remarked by travellers, that Il smoke-dsgd

sensible remarks:
"The poison of bad air is 'fayorite poison
Of the Amercan.' The health of our NO.
men gives way under it, and the constItu-
tions of their children are injured by il. A
healthy individual takes in about pm, of
air in breath; lie breathes abou, a lnCu-
sand times in an hour, and requires about
tittyseyea hogsheads of air 10 twenty four

through the lungs, deprived of the hcaltffui
part---the oxygon-and becomes little less
than unmixed poison-the nitrogen only
remaining.
