EF1Ecrs OF TosAcco.--Thc use Of to-
bacco has SO far extended itself in the
present generation that we nre oil obliged
to make decision for ourselves on the
ancient controversy between its friends
and enemies. We cannot form reasou-
able opinion about tobacco without bear
,Gg in mind that it produces. according TO
circumstances. one Of two entirely dis
iincs and even opposite classes Of effects
In certain states of the body it acts a. =
stimulant. in other cases a. narcotic
People who have dislike to smoking.
affirm that il sturc6cs; but this assertion.
at least 60 far as she contemporary couse-
quenccs are concerned, is not supported
by experience Mast Of the really bril-.
liant conversations that I have listened
to have been accompanied by clouds OF
tobacco smoke; and great deal Of the
best literary composition that is produced
By contemporary authors is wrought BY
men who arc actually smoking while they
work. My own experience is tha. very
moderate smoking acts a. pleasant slim
ulus upon the brain while it produces a
temporary lnssitudc Of the muscular sys-
tem. not pcrceptibe in times Of rest. but
an sppreciable hindrance in times Of mus
cular exertion. 1t is better, therefore,
for men who feel these cafccts from tobac.
On TO avoid il when they are in exercise.
and 10 use II only vheo the bciy rests
and the mind lahors. Pray remember.
however, that this Is the experience Of an
exceedingly moderate smoker. Who has
not yet got him self into the general con-
di,ion Of body which is brought on by 4
larger indulgence in tobacco. On the
other hand. il is evident that men engaged
in physical labor End . muscular stimulus
in occasional smoking. and not tempo
rnry lassitude. IL 10 probable that the
effect va,ics With individual cascs. and is
never precisely what our oxn experience
weuli lead rs to itHagine. For cxces.
sive smokers !, appears To be little more
than the tranqnilszirg of sort If unes>i.

weakening Of the will, aud preference
for talking about the work to the eFor
Of sciual labor. The opinions Of medica
n,en on this subject ara 30 much at vari
ance that their science only adds tn onr
uncertainty Que doc'w tells rs sba
the most nioderaie smoking Is unq ues,ioa
ably luxurious, While others affirm tina
il is innocent. Speaking simply from
self-oascrva;ion. I find that tea aud cotf.,
