TIE EFFECT OF TOBACCO ON TIE HUMAN
SYsTEM.-In tho fourth annual report of
tho Michigan State Board Of Health, DR..
Scott relates something new in tho influence
of tobacco on the human system as follows:
"Thero has come under my notice for
several years, but moro particularly during
tho last two years, a kind Of rheumatic con-
dition of tho walls of tho chest. The
pationt complains Of a dull heavy paiu in
tho chest walls. Tho disease 10 large
minority Of cases is confined to the left eide.
The pain is oircumscribed and limited to
space Of not more than two inches 10 diame.
ter, just below and little to the left Of the
loft nipple At times the pain is very
severe, and always constant day snd night,
when tho patient is awake. !ihave investi
gated tho disease to some extent, and lnd
it to be more common among tobacco users,
especially those who use tho Weed to excess.
Patiepts saFariog fr9m this complaintsins
variably come to their physician with the
belief that they had heart trouble. l have
not found signs of organic lesion 10 any Of
the cases that have examined, bat there
does exist in some Of them whit might be
called irritable heart lam convinced that
the greater number Of these CAGES arc tho
result of intemperanco either in tho uso of
tobacco or other stimulants, for tho reason
that, when tho patient abstans from the
uso of thom for short time, his pain ceases
aud his condition improves. In one case,
where the patient abstained from the use of
tobacco for thirteen months, the pain entirely
ceased; but at tho end of this period the
gentleman yecommeneed the aso Of tobacco,
and after three weeks use tho old pain re.
turned with all its severity. I am certain
that quite n number in this vicinity are
receiving treatment for hort disease, when,
if they would reform in tobacco using, thoy
would speedily recover"
