followed each Other in quick succession and OF which
the end is not yet" the leading periodicals of Great
Britain have become invested with degree OF inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy middle
ground between the hasiy, DISCOUNTED and necessarily
imperfect records OF the newspapers, and the clabo-
rate and ponderous teascs to be furnished by the his

therefore, deem it proper call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers. The following is

Tobacco, Intempcrancc, Tempe
rance.-.NO. A..

To the Editors of the Literary Echo:-
In my last, introduced a quotation
from DR.. Warren upon the effects of the
use of tobacco upon the human system.
The quotation had special reference to the
use of this narcotic in the way of smoking
l have some others quotations which l
wish to present upon the deleterious in
Ruence of tobacco upon the system, used
in the way of smoking, snufing, or chew
ing. ..
The properties of tobacco are univer-
sally acknowledged to be decidedly pois-
onous. Prof. Hitchcock says" group
alcohol, opium, and tobacco, together, as
alike to be rejected; because they agree
in being poisonous. Most of the powerful
vegetable poisons, such as hen-banc, hem
lock, thorn-apple, prussic acid, deadly
night-shadc, fox-glove, and poison sumach,
have an effect on the animal system
scarcely to be distinguished from that of
opium and tobacco. They impair the
organs of digestion, and may bring on
faulty, palsy, delirium, or apoplexy. In
those not accustomed to it, tobacco excites
nausea, vomiting, dizziness, indigestion,
mental detection, and in short, the whole
train of mcrrons complaints"
DR.. Hassack classes tobacco with opium,
ether, mercury, and other articles of the
materia medica. He says, "the great
increase of dyspepsia; the late alarming
frequency, of apoplexy, palsy, epilepsy
and other diseases of the nervous system,
is attributable, in part, to the use OF
tobacco"
Says DR.. Watcrhouse, after long
course of practice" never observed so
many paid faces, and so many marks of
declining health, nor ever knew so many
hectical habits, and consumptive affections,
as of late years and I trace this alarming
,inroad on young constitutions, principally
to the pernicious custom of smoking
cigars"
The editors of the journal of Health,
say" In whatever form it may be en-
ploycd, portion Of the active principles
of tobacco, mixed with saliva, invariably
finds its way to the stomach, and disturbs
or impairs the functions of that organ.
Hence most, if not all, who are accustomed
to the use of tobacco, labor under dyspep-
tic symptoms. Our advice Is to desist
Immediately and entirely, from the use of
tobacco in every form, and in any quantity
however small" 'ss '..t.'s
7 DR.. Warren says" The common
belief that tobacco is beneficial to the
teeth, is entirely erroneous; on the con-
trary, by its poisonous, and relaxing
qualities, it is positively injurious" Says
another physician" Though snuff has
been prescribed for the headache, catarrh,
and some species of opthalmia, and some
times with good effect, yet in all cases,
where its use is continued, it not only fails
Of its medical effect, but commits great
ravages on the whole nervous system, su-
peripducing hypochondria, tremors, a
thickening of the voice, and premature
decay Of all the intellectual powers.
