II study of and used his lecture upon.
have no positive information on th
subject, but believe cigaretts are tn
worst form in which tobacco is used
and believe that their sale to BOYS i
prohibited in France. In addition {,
a the poison in the tobacco the cigarette
4 smoker absorbs q certain amount O
the empyreumatic oil of paper, whicl
$ is an irritant to- the mucous membranes
I causing catarrh. But this is not tht
worst effect. The action Of the hear
is depressed and tho whole system de
! bilitated. Official investigation in the
schools Of France proved that the
cigarette. smoking students were much
behind the others. These vital defects
are sure to be transmitted to the off.
spring. Any transient state can be
transmitted. A child begot by man
who is drunk is apt to be idiotic. Cut
one Of the big nerves in the leg of a
Guinea pig and he will develop opilep-
sy, and his offspring will be epileptic.
Cigarette smoking by boys and
young men is a great evil, but don't
see how you are going to stop it. The
boys won't stop it, and the parents can
hardly make them. Ii they want TO
smoke they will find q way"
DEPREssEs THE ACTION OF THE HEART
"There are some men," said Dr.
George Morehouse, of 227 South Ninth
street, "whom tobacco does not hurt a
bit, some that it hurts great deal and
some whom it benefits. / think one
of the great evils of the tobacco habit
is that it develops an appetite for in.
toxicating liquor, While tobacco de.
presses alcohol stimulates and the one
counteraots the effect of the other.
Smoke too much, until your cigar be.
gins to lose its pleasant effect, II don't
taste right and you want drink.
Now if the effect of the whisky was
the same as tobacco you would not
want any whisky, but the whisky re.
lieves the depression caused by tho to.
bacco, and when you have had drink
you want another cigar, and when you
have smoked that you want another
drink and so on.
"ln the young ard growing the
strength and integrity of the heart is
important to the full development of
the body and the maintenance of its
functions in health. In the young the
heart is taxed not only by the maintc.
nance Of daily life, but in the exten.
sion OF all the tissues of the body in
growth. 1t is especially necessary,
therefore, in growth and during de. |
velopment that the heart should not
be restrained in its functions. Tobac. |
co depresses the action of the heart |
with disastrous results to the whole |
system. There is q strong tendency
to excess in the young-they think
they cannot die--and the only hmlta-
tion to their indulgence is sickness.
The inhaling of cigarette smoke is in.
furious in two ways-first, as q local
irritant to the mucous membranes, and
second, tho principle of the tobacco is
absorbed in larger quantities and pro-
duces more prominent effect"
THE CAUSE OF SORE THROAT.
al can do nothing better for YOU"
said DR., J. Soils Cohen, of l431 Wal.
nut street, who confines his practice
to the treatment Of throat and lung
diseases, ethan to refer you to little
book have published on The Throat
and the Voice. Hero l say" said the
doctor, taking up the book from his
table:
"lf smoker is subject to attacks of
sore throat aud is too welded to his
weed to divorce himself from it, he
should smoke longstemmcd pipe in
preference TO any other contrivance,
because it renders the smoke cooler by
the time it reaches the throat. The
next safest thing is to smoke q long
cigar, not much more than half of
which should be used, because the re.
mainder becomes warmer and more
loaded with the poisonous products of
the combustion. A short pipe is not
as safe as a cigar and a cigarette is the
most injurious of all, The habits of
lnhaling the tobacco smoke, of swal.
lowing it or Of passing it out by the
nose are all likely to lead to the dis.
ease OF the parts over which the smoke
is forced. Indeed, there is a peculiar
OF the throat produced by
tobacco smokeing which almost any
slave to the practice can observe in
himself. 1t consists in a series of opal.
asccnt or milky.looking passages at $
The inside OF the corners of the mouth
md lips, and some other localities, due
70 raising Of the outermost layer of
,ho mucous membrane. These spots i,
ire known as the milky patches Of !
'mOkerS, and are sometimes mistaken /.
or a very unfortunate constitutional
orm of sore throat"
"rhe reason that cigarette smoking =.
8 the worst Of all, added DR.. Cohen,
lis that it is smoked closer and there =
S nothing TO hold tho poisonous oils .
md ,alkaloids, which are taken into the !
mouth aid so into the system
INDIGESTION AND IMPAIRED VISION.
"There is no question" said DIR. ,
William Pepper, Provost of the Uni
'ersity Of Pennsylvania, "about tobacco
,eing injurious to all growing bodies. t
There arc some objections that apply I
PARTICULARLY to cigarettes. The first is
he facility with which they can be I
Ised. The student going from his b
oom to class, the clerk on the way I
rom the store to the bank, will light 4
cigarette where he would not think a

which tobacco can be used ia the u
cigarette. Tho reason is that in no 4
