General Tendency of Tobacco to

The general idea that it Is exhaus-

in fact, and utterly untenahle in every
point of view. We lay down four
propositions which defy successful
contradiction.

than any plant ordinarily cultivated.
3. it's close cultivation more effect

4, Its continued cultivation Of iudi-

acres, thus making SiO1 per annum on
