TIE WHOLE DUTY oF NAL" AS TO

TIE WHOLE DUTY or mAH " AS TO
TOBACCO.
In the April number Of the North Ameri-
t"1! Rreit4r, DR.. William A. Hammond,
lste Surgeon General Of the United States
Army, comes to the relief of the chewera,
snufIe1s and smokers Of the contemplative |
weed with a reinforcement Of fact, fancy |
and argument which must be peculiarly |
refreshing to all who chew, snuff or smoke. !
He tracer the history Of the nnti-tobaoco
crusade from the ancient daya when Sultan
Mahoruet ". facetiously cut of the noses
cf such as enjoved the odor Of tobacco,
rightly inferring that the presence Of the
nose and tho faculty Of smell
were a stumb1ing-hlock in the path
Of reform, as they increased
the temptation to anuf. The Shah Abbls
Of Pc1s;a, with an equally acute perception
Of the direct route to holiness in this re-
srect, cut off the lips of all who were found
smoking Nothing is more certain than that
man without lips can no more smoke than
he can kiss, unless he hircs his neighbor to
do the putting for hina-a courtesy which
would no nore nnswer the purpose in one
case than in the other. We cannot but ad-
ruire. in passing, the directness with which
lhe O1entals prosecute all reforms. Their
mode Of ensuring the fidelity OF
The seryants they employ in their
scrac,ios and their mode Of preyentine
snnfT.takinp and smoking are all character
ICED by the same directness and efficiency.
They are summedup in the short and easy
mia of morals. .If thv RIGHT eve offend
