Like AZ veteran smokers, Gen. Grant pre-
TERED strong cigars, and smoked none but the
best Havanas, at least after he rose to dis
tinction in the army
1t is said that he averaged as high as twenty
cigars a day, and considering the constancy OF
his habit smoking from early morn to late al
night, this is not probably an exaggerated
statement The amount of nicotine which was
thus absorbed into the system is matter for
scientists to determine, but it must have been
sufficient to thoroughly poison the blood No
man without the superb physical constitution
of Gen. Grant could have SO long resisted its
deleterious influence.
General Grant thinks he may not last thirty
days.
