. SMOKING A CAUSE OF INsANiTY.-The terri
bile ravages which tobacco is making on the
bodies and minds of the young seems TO be
attracting the attention of medical men In
various parts Of the world. In a pamphlet
Just issued by Dr. Seymour of London, on
private Lunatic Asylums, and the causes OF
insanity for late years, the doctor denounces
with emphasis as one of the producing eau
ses the practice of immoderate smoking in
dulgod in by boys and young men, at the
universities and "largcr schools, now called
colleges" The doctors remarks are as APP
plicable TO the youths Of this country as
those OF Europe. No one conversant with
disease can doubt that excessive smoking, es'
pecially in the casca Of young people, must
be highly injuriouAto both mind aud body.
Its effect is to depNess the circulalion-the
heart becomes weak, Irregular in its action,
and the pulse ia scarcely to be felt The
victim becomes rresolute and nervous, his
appetite fails and his mind fills with imngi-
nary evils. This may continue for years, but
at length the smoker dies, often suddenly
then examination has shown that the muscu.
lar structure of the heart is imperfect in its
action, the left side is thin, and in some ca.
ses, in which sudden death has ocaurred
there has been found little more than a STRIP
of muscular fibre left on that side. The
question Of restraining boys from smoking
is rather a difficult one TO deal with, but III,
grave interests at stake seem TO demant
that some aelien should he taken in th,
