EVIL EFFECTS OF THE NARCOTIC

EVIL EFFECTS OF THE NARCOTIC
An eminent physician of New
York, writes in the Science of Health
as follows concerning the evil effects
of using tobacco, which the BANNER
Ireproduces with the hope that some
of its readers may be benefited by
its perusal.
ut impairs the nervous functions
rendering the person more excitable,
more irritable, and subject to long
train of nervous affections. 1t i'm
pairs the nervous constitution aud
transmits these impaired constitu-
tons to children. Such children are
feeble, excitable and liable to be
cut off by any serious disease Of
ten they do not thrive well, are
stunted in growth, and do not attain
to the stature of parents before
them. If they take up tie habit OF
tobacco using early in life, as very
likely they will, their growth will be
still more interferred with, and they
will present a curious spectacle OF
the lineaments of old age mingled
with the features of youth. :
Already a noticeable diminution
of the stature of our people is oh.
servable. The general average OF
height is less each generation Men
of full six feet in stature are far less
common in proportion to the number
of inhabitants than were they thirty
or fifty years ago. A little falling
off in height is observable among
the females. Among other causes
tobacco using by the parents con-
tiuued from early youth is a promin-
ent cause. 1t is cause that is power
fully working the degeneracy of the
vital powers, arresting development.
This habit also exerts an influence
over the brain as well as over the
nerve. 1t obscures the perception
and deadens the sensibilities. To.
bacco using students make less adj
7ancement than others in their
studies. The permanent impairment
of the intellectual powers will be
proportionate to the degree of in
diligence and it's duration. If con-
tinued through several generations
there can but result mental degen-
eracy.
It's excessive use impairs all the
bodily organs, arresting development
and enfeebling the natural power;
and its direct tendency is to produce
degeneracy Of the,race AlreadyFits
work has begun, and if not desisted
from it will complete its work and
ultimately leave race of driveling
idiots. He who loves his fellowman
let him raise his voice against this
foul practice"

Unfortunately the name Of John A.
Marvel somehow got mixed up with
the Washington. d. o., dog affair,
when Mr.. Marvel is a we'll known gen.
tleman OF this city, who has always
lived an irreproachable life. The story
OF the dog as told by Mrs. Marvel,
wife Of John A. Marvel, is this as told
TO her by her son William Y. Marvel,
who was arrested, and not the faunes-;
William came home last week with q
fine English mastiif dog from Wash
ington where he had been as q trayell-
ing commercial agent for the Ester
brook Paint Company. William says
that as he was about leaving Washing
ton man came TO him with the dog.
He said he was hard up and would
take sl0 for the dog though he was
worth S76. He gave the money. too k
ton. Here Mrs. Marvel told her son
that she was afraid the dog was stolen
and he had better send him back to
the owner, whose name was on the
collar. William wrote to the man
stating bow he got the dog and would
return him but he wanted to be
paid what he cost him. The next thing
was an order from the Chief of Police
at Washington to arrest Marvel and
get the dog, telling where he could DO
found.
The arrest was made and the WASH
ington parties were notified, but up
to last night no one having put In an
appearance either to prosecute Mar
vel or claim the dog, William T. Mar
vel was released from custody and
given possession OF the dog. The po-
lice who made the arrest say that Mar
vel when aIrested gave his name as
John Marvel which accounts for the
fathers name being connected with
the matter. slfaiie 81
