that about forty million people passed
into the portals Of the White City. As
that number would be two-thirds the
total population Of the United States,
we must reject it. il it means that forty
million different individuals visited the
fair. Probably the larger portion spent
from four to five days in the visit. and
calculating that each paid for one ad-

SMOKING AND DRUNKENNESS,
A Physician Has Good Word to
Say in Its Favor ms a Cure.

st. Louis has a physician whose head
Is large and nlled with wisdom, and
whose heart is warm and filled with the
blood that feeds benefcence. May his
practice increased, says the Buffalo
Express. This Is what he says:
j never object to a patient smoking,
although know that in some Instances
serious ills result from excessive use
of tobacco. Not one man in a hundred
who smokes a cigar after a meal is in
1ured in the slightest degree. and there
most incessantly without any great
suffering. AS rule. smoking never
hurts man unless I creates ex-
cessive expectoration. and unless he
inhales much of the smoke. AS a cure
for drunkenness, excessive smoking is
often the remedy. A lady patient once
complained to me that her husband was
rapidly drifting into a confirmed drunk
ard. asked her II he ever smoked at
home, and she said she had never al
lowed him to do SO. / suggested that
she find out his favorite brand of cigars

rooms he chiefly frequented. After a
good deal Of persuasion she consented
to try the experiment. To her surprise
he almost at once commenced spending
his evenings at home, and althouEh the
smoke annoyed her terribly, she soon
got used to II, and never explained the
trick to her husband until he ouit drink
