them some straw, at which they seemed

Experiments with the Ciparstte.

Experiments with the Cigarette.
Science describes some experiments
made on the cigarette by Professor w.
L. Dudley, of Vanderbilt university, as
follows:
The fact that cigarette smoking pro
duces physiological effects differing in
some extent from those of the cigar led
him to make his experiments. The fire.
quently ascribed causes of the difference
that of the adulteration of cigarette to-
bacco with opium and other drugs, and
also the presence of arsenic in the paper
are for many reasons unsatisfactory
and insufficient. 1t is true. no doubt,
that the tobacco in many of the less ex-
pensive brands is adulterated with cheap
drugs and artificial favors, and that in
the moro expensive grades opium may be
used: but il is equally true that many
cigarettes are made OF to1acco which is
free from sophistication. The presence
of arsenic in the paper is entirely out of
the question. There is a difference in
the methods of smoking a cigarette and
cigar or pipe.
In the two last mentioned the smoke
is simply drawn into the mouth and ex-
PEELED directly therefrom OF through the
nose, while the experienced cigarette
smoker will lnhale the smoke, that is,
draw it to a greater or less extent into
the air passages, and in some cases to
the greatest depth of the lungs, and thus
the absorption of the carbonic oxide and
other gases will take place very rapidly,
causing more or less deoxidation Of the
blood and thereby impairing its power
to build UP tho wasting tissues of the
body. 1. That carbonic oxide is the
most poisonous constituent of tobacco
smoke; :. That more injury results from
cigarette than cigar or pipe smoking, be-
cause, as a rule, the smoke of the former
is inhaled; 8. That cigarette smoking
than pipe or cigar smoking; 4. That the
smoke of cigar or pipe, if inhaled, Is
as injurious as cigarette smoke inhaled;
8. That the smoke from Turkish pipe,
If inhaled, is as injurious as that of a
cigarette inhaled. ,.-

anyone. Seemingly public sentiment is
