The Virtues Of Tobacco.

Considering the violent abuse 50 often
levelled at smokers b. those who dislike to-
bacco, and the terrible warnings conveyed
to them BY candid friends Of a short career
of disease to be terminated by death in an
agonizing form, It is only right to call at
tentiOn TO any remarks made by scientific
men calculated to relieve them from the
load of anxiety under which they must be
suffering. The Pail Nal Gazette sa-,
that at a laie meeting of the British Medi-
cal Association, at Newcastle, Dr. John
Murray presented paper on "Snuff- taking,
and its utility in preventing bronchitis and
consumption, " in which he remarks that an
habitual smoker seldom or ever died Of con
sumption, and that the progress of consump-
ton is frequently arrested by practising the
habit Of snuff-taking. Snuff-9king it seems
Is not only Of great use in curing catarrh,
but is an admirable expedient for prevent
ing it altogether. II, "when on journey
you experience a succession Of chills, in
due time You may expect an attack Of bron-
chltis, an infltraton Of pneumonia or tuber-
eular plasma, or Illness in some other form,
each tending to reduce the powers Of life,
and consequently, liable to set up consump-
ton an those prediaposed" Under these
circumstances, DR.. Murray strongly recon.
mends snuff to be taken 10 liberal pincbes
Tobacco, in fact, is now strongly suspected
by the medical profession to have been un
Justly abused. The majority of doctors
Dr. Murray states, when recovering from
a common cold, viii take snuff to haster
their recovery"
