Effect OF Tea.
Herald Of Health

eff an ounce of tea be taken within six
or eight hours we will almost always
see the Intoxicating effects. Tea, when
taken in such quantity, is sure to be
followed by most injurious effects. The
digestion will be ruined and the nervous
system shattered. When tea was first
taken to England 1t was used as we use
greens. OF late years 1 have heard of its
being eaten dry. L have also heard Of
peculiar fad among young ladies of
sleeping the leaves until they unrolI
and then drying and smoking them in
cigarettes and pipes. These habits are
very pernicious and dangerous, for thus
the system will receive more of the active
principle than by infusing the tea and
drinking it in the ordinary manner. Tea
taken in moderate quantities-tbat is,
cup at each meal-can certainly have no
injurious effect. But the extent to which
many old women, and young ones, too,
indulge in tea drinking is one of the social
evils of the time
