The Tobacco Habit.

I'm every land and in every cline
where the use of tobacco prevails it
causes degeneration, degradation, de-
physical, mental and NOR
al-disease and deatk or individual
and national decadence."
Such is the statement of Dir. George
j. Ziegler in an article on The To-
bacco Poison" in The Sanitaridn.
Il do not believe there is any more
harm in smoking a cigar or pipe, after
eating, than there is in drinking tea
oil coffee. Any luxury carried to ex-
cess carries with it a penalty. For my
own part, | consider that smoking as
a sedative and equalizer Of the temper,
assists digestion, and is a medium of
sociability among men which should
not be discarded.
So says Dir. A. Z. Adams, of Dan
bury, CT, in an article entitled lis
Smoking Injurious?"
The doctors disagree, but there can
be no doubt as to whose view is nearer
the truth. The broad statement of
Dr.. Ziegler is contradicted, not only
by general experience, but by the IN
doubted fact that such countries as
anu llC u nllGu SlaltS, IWO
nations which are certainly not suffer-
ing from decadence, consume three or
four times more tobacco per capita
than do the Spaniards or Italians, ma
tions OF by no means so vigorous vi
tality.
The real facts as to the influence of
tobacco on the health are fairly well
established, and the occasional out
burst of anti-tobacco fanaticism does
not affect received medical opinion.
Tobacco is pernicious to growing
children. Used in moderation, the
majority of healthy adults can smoke
it without harm. 1t does not in these
shorten life or produce degenerative
changes. Nearly one-half of Professor
Humphreys collection of centenarians
Were tobacco-users. 1t is particularly
harmless to those who live outdoors
and engage IN physical work. 1t is
particularly apt to injure those who
live indoors. The worst feature about
its use is the difficulty some persons
have in smoking in moderation. This
is especially true of brain-workers,
and it is for this reason that physicians
never advise the requirement of the
tobacco habit. But among the great
mass of working people the use of to-
bacco is apparently harmless one
