Young Samuel KIM au's Doath-Bed ADJ
vice to Boys.
A boy named Samuel Kimball, sixteen
years old, chorister hoy in St. Mary's
Church, Brooklyn, died very recently at
St. Johns Hospital. Almost his last
words were: LET any boy who smokes
cigarettes look at me now and know
how much have suffered, and he will
never put another into his mouth" He
was bright boy, an exquisite singer,
and had many friends. He lived with
his grandmother and worked in chan
delier factory. Here is his story, as he
told it to his nurse, Sister Cornelia: ITO
me he confessed that his trouble had
originated from cigarette smoking.
Some days, he said, he smoked twenty
cigarettes. At first he kept his grand
mother in ignorance of his indulgence.
As he continued to smoke the appetite
grew upon him with such force that he
could not choke it off, and it began to
affect his constitution. 'Why,'I asked
him, did you not stop when you saw
what it was bringing you to?'
oh. could not he replied. If 1
could not get to smoke 1 almost went
wild. L could think OF nothing else.
That my grandmother might not sus-
pect me, would work extra hours in
stead Of spending my regular wages for
cigarettes. For months l kept up this
excess, although knew it was killing
me. Then 1 seemed to fall to pieces all of
a sudden" His disease took the form
of dropsy in the legs, and was very pain
full. Sister Cornelia continues the story:
"During all his sufferings he never for
got what had brought him to this terrible
condition. He kept asking me to warn
all boys against their use. A few days
before he died he called me to his bed
side aud said he thought he had not
lived in vain if only those boys who
are still alive would profit by his suffer-
ing and DEATH" There is no other form
of tobacco so dangerous as cigarettes
because the nicotine in the smoke is not
absorbed in the loose tobacco, smoked
clean up to the end, but is taken, I'M
filtered and undiluted, into the lungs.
1t was not the poison in the paper, but
the poison of the tobacco which killed
Sambel Kimball, and is running the
health of thousands of other pale-faced
hOvS
