Il has been stated that according to
the best physicians, not more than ave
persons In . hundred can use tobacco
with impunity. One Of General Grants
physicians said to newspaper reporter {:
"There are Thousands Of cancers Of the
tongue, brought on generally by smoking,
and these will be found In nearly every
hospital" The New York NAL and
Express says: The case Of General
Grant is conspicuous warning against
the excessive use OF tobacco, and who
ever knows anything Of his real char
aoter ia aware that he himself would
not hesitate to say 30. The fact
that he wholly abandoned the use Of
tobacco several months sgo, when his
physicians only requested him TO be
moderate In smoking, shows what his
Judgment Ia as to the weed Of which his
use has been so notorious. An unpreju-
diced persOn, who likes rather than
detssts the fragrance Of tobacco smoke
when IL comes from the cigar OF one who
smokes dAintily, cannot fail to see In
General Grants case an impressive exht.

for mankind II tobacco we're wholly
abolished from use.
