and it is only by habit and use that we
are able to tolerate it at all. 1T was
never intended by the Creator to be
used in state of ealth any more than
arsenic, mercury, prussic ACID or any
other poison. :.
In national schools, as we'll as in
many of the best colleges and semin-
aries of learning, the use of tobacco IS
interdicted. Napoleon III. found that
paralytics and lunatics increased
throughout France in about the same
ratio as the use of tobacco increased
and extended among his people, and
on careful examination he discovered
that the young men In the goVernment
training schools, who smoked and used
tobacco, were, as rule, greatly inferior
physically, mentally and morally 70
those who did not use it.
This, and the almost invariable as

so impressed the Emperor, that he
prohibited the use of tobacco in all the
national schools of France.
Similar was the discovery at the
Annapolis Naval Academy, as also n
the military academy at West Point
and consequently at both OF these
, schools the Use of tobacco was inter
dicted.
