Dolly could talk Of nothing else, and went

My little child had wandered out to meet
daddy and the doll, while her mother was

Tobacco-A Medical View.

The aosurdly exaggerated statements of
the Anti Tobacco Society, and other enimies
of the weed, lose all their force by proving a
good deal too much. We might SET aside
cases of excessive smoking, and those excep>
tional cases in which tobacco acts as poison
in any quantity. No doubt tobacco has a
good deal to answer for, because smoking,
like other tastes, and more than most, so
readily runs into excess.
Its worst effects are observed in persons
below puberty, in whom it induces peculiar
kind of sallowness, functional alpitation,
diminished appetite, and iraptitude Tor ply
sical aud mental energy, to say nothing OF
the exposure attending it. 1t is liable to
induce a similar train Of symptoms in
those who contract a habit of smoking lit
tie, aud but little in excess. We are told
that among young soldiers palpatation and
deranged action of the heart are common
enough from its use.
A medical officer, noticing the frequency
Of muscular iremors aud unsteadiness Of hand
among smokers, kept some statistics in order
to determine whether there was any great
difference between these aud the nonNSmCk-
ers as regards rife practice He was, how
ever, unable to prove stalisticallY that the
latter enjoyed any superiority of accurate
shooting powers. Tobacco among the poor
and labcring classes certainly appears to exert
considerable influence in restraining the ap'
