The Horrors ofCigarette smok

Ing.
. Dr.. Hammond, in the New YorI
World, says: AS to cigarett
smoking, properly practiccd ant
with due regard to moderation
and provided also that pure tobac
co be used, cannot see how it il
more injurious than cigars or
pipes. But no speedjer method
for rendering existence painful is
more efficacious than to smoke
cigarettes and to inhale the fumes
into the lungs. By this practice
a very large absorbing surface is
exposed to the action Of the nico
tine and other poisonous products
which are evolved when tobacco
is burned. AS consequence, the
system is more thoroughly sub
jected to their influence and di-
sease more certainly produced.
The action Of the brain is impair
ed thereby the ability to think
and, in fact, all mental oncentra-
Een are weakened. Neuralgia. es.
pecially about The face, Throat d.
seases, nasal catarrh, serious al
fections Of the eyes, dyspepsia,
and above all, interruption IN the
normal action of the heat arc
among the consequences resulting
from the inordinaie use Of tobacco,
and especially from the inhala.
tlon ofciga;ette smoke. This is
not mere theory, for / have seen
many cases of vii these disorders
in the course of my practice as a
physician, and have known them
to be directly traceable to the
cause mentioned. Laws for tie
repression Of cigarette smoking
By young persons are difficult, if
not impossible, of enforcement.
1t can be prevented only through
the proper education of parents
and guardians and the children
themselves.
Investigation shows that the
cigarettes sold in this country are,
as rule, Wiley adulterated, and
with substances even more iajur-
.ious than, tobacco. Something
might be done, perhaps. by the
passage of laws preventing the
manufacture Or sale Of cigarettes.
Surely if the law can interfere to
stop the production of olcomar-
garine on the ground of its being
prcjudicial to the health of the
public, it might properly be invok-
ed ON the same plea for the manu-
facture of cigarettes. Some states
do not allow alcohol in any form
to be produced or sold within
their limits, and yet / am inclined
to believe that more injury can be
inflicted on the human race BY the
excessive use of tobacco b, Young
persons than by immodera,e
.liquor-drinking. The latter would
probably kill more quickly and
before the subject would have an
opportunity Of proc eating the
species, but the former would not
only destroy the health and yitaii.
~ OF those who might descend
from him. In the city Of Wash.
ington l saw a few days ago a
wretched, looking child, scarcely
five years old, smoking ciga cite
and biowiug the smoke from his
nostrils. His pale, pinched face
was twitching convulslvely, his
little shoulders were bent, and his
whole appearance was that of an
old man. Should he live 10 be-
come the father Of family what
kind OF children Is he likely 10
have?

3. The literary and scientific e.s.
cellence of the Bible furnish de
monstration Of its Divine origin
and that it has no peer among
books.-As history it is the
most venerable and succ.nct, pc
senting as with q stroke the condi-

4 biography it is unique, bringing
out life like portrai:ures Of men
and women famed in the worlds
annals, AS 4 poem, its harmoni-

AS a literary gem it is uncqualled.
AS a law book it furnishes the

5. The fulfllment OF its prophe-
cies and the valididitv of it's mira
cles stand as incoltestable evil
dences Of its Divine authority
The Lord anticipates and bids
his human amanuensis TO describe
and portray an event far down
the track of time hundred, or q
thousand years. Take the case
of theJews, Gods chosen people.
He dwelt amongthem, by the sym.
bois of his presence. Such a peo-
pie human wisdom would suppose
prc-eminent for civil, social and re-
,,igious blessedness, but Moses ut
tered widely different prediction
more!than 5000 years ago: THE
Lord shall smite thee with mad
ness and blindness Of heart. And
thou shalt grope at midday as the
blind gropeth in darkness, and
thou shalt not prosper in thy ways
and thou shalt be spoiled and OPP
pressed eyermore, and no man
shall save thee. And thou shalt
become an establishment and a
proverb, and a by word among all
nations whisher the Lord shall
lead thee"
There are more than forty dis
tinct prophecies concerning our
Lord Jesus Christ, given by
different individuals in different
ages of the world, so there could
be no collision describing the
coming and person OF Christ, that |
you can but see that the New Tes-
lament is the counterpart of the
Old Testament, and that they are |
together Gods inspired word.
