THE EFFECTS OF TOBACCO.
A Polish Physician Analyses the Vice In
Its Various Forms.

A Polish Physician Analyses the Vice in
Its Various Forms.
Zulinsky has recently published in a
Polish medical paper the result of a
large series of experiments on men and
animals, made for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the physiological action of to-
bacco smoke on animals. He has found
that the smoke is powerful poison.
even in very small quantities. In the
case of man tobacco smoke. when not
inhaled too freely, is only delterious to
that the poisonous character of the to-
bacco smoke is not entirely due to the
nicotine which it contains. Tobacco
smoke rendered free from nicotine re-
mains poisonous, though not to SO great
a degree as before. The second poison
Gus principle is an alkaloid, colidin.
Carbonic oxide, hydrocyanic acid and
other noxious principles are also con-
tanned in tobacco smoke. The bad
effects of excessive smoking depend
very much both on the kind of tobacco
consumed and on the manner of con-
Stunning it. In cigar-smoking, the
greatest amount of poison is inhaled,
in cigarettes much less, in pipes still
less. while those who indulge in the
nargileh or any similar luxury where
the smoke is drawn through water,
take tobacco in its least mischievous
form. Such are Zulinsky's conclusions.
There can be but little doubt that
many of the light-colored tobaccos have
been partially preached in order to give
them pale tint which moderate
smokers believe to be an infallible in
dication of mildness. The
agent is suspected to be, in many eases.
a deleterious chemical compound.
Some of the light tobaccos smoke ex-
ceedingly hot, owing to the woody fiber
which they contain. This is especially
the case with ..bird' eye'' which is cut
near the stalk of the leaf, the slices of
the midrib, thick in this part of the
leaves giving the variety of tobacco the
