The following article taken from the
Country Gentleman, so thrillingly sets forth
the fearful results Of using tobacco that the
most hardened sinner must repent and hasten
TO be wise after reading it.
First experiment." A hog was shut up
in tight pen, and his only food was one halt
pound Of tobacco day. In one week he
had lost four pounds. Second: a mule was
placed in stall without food. Two plugs OF
tobacco were placed before her, twice day.
She grew gradually FESTIVE. On the third
day one plug was forced down her throat,
when she tore the cXperimenter's ear with
her teeth, showing the bad effects tobacco has
on ones disposition. 1t was then found nee,
cssary to muzzle her so that she could not
open her mouth. At the end of eight days
she died.
Third: dog was nailed up in tobacco
hogshead At the end of four days he was
taken out much reduced. Fourth: another
dog was enclosed in n tobacco barrel and
gollcd down a steep hill. Within two years
that dog was mad! Truly these are Satan's
pets! | could cite plenty more OF such
experiments We all know that single drop
of the oil Of tobacco placed on the end of Il
dogs tail will kill a man in a minute. OF
four men lately killed on the Erie railway,
three were smokers, and the father Of the
other an invetcratc chCwcr of tobacco. On
the bodies of the two men washed ashore
after the late storm on Lake Michigan, papers

The age Of 11S. She had both chewed and

The astonshed and delighted Quicker re.

most in that poem, and repeat them to me
