The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-07-24

1t would be impossible to describe thu
treatment fully. or give the ingred tents of the
remedy-it was not q patent medicine.
The most I remember about it Is that Il
had bark on the outside of it, and there
seemed to be something very hard on the
inside of it.
He put 1t on externally and with both
hands. It made me bark when he gave 1t to
me on the inside and took the bark of OF
me on the outside. 1t was what would be
called by the boys nowadays, "hot stuff"
Just what 1t was cannot say; II knew,
1t would be violating family confidence to give
1t away. One dose was cure. It did not
take three weeks at great expense either
Think It was about three minutes-but IL
seemed like three years.
Although permanently cured of the Tobacco
habit when young. I claim to be an expert
Judge Of cigars.
I have looked into the subject of smoking,
up one side and down the other, and all
smelling smoke.
To 60 this. 1t is not necessary to hold the
cigar In your own mouth.
1t con be done by letting some one else hold
It and perform the physical labor OF putting
on the air pressure. have sat in smoke ever
since taking the "cure,' and inhaled from
every grade Of tobacco and pipe without ex-
periencing the slightest temptation to try 1t
agail-still claim to be Judge Of cigars.
1t Is principle Of science, well known to
spcItsmen, that If hunting dog is allowed
to chew game. it is bad for the dogs scent
If allowed to fill his mouth with blood, feath-
ers and flesh. the strong taste of these things,
to greater or less degree, detracts from the
keen sense of smell.
Or, II nothing more, draws the attention Of
the dog from smelling so that his nose Ia
not as strong as though that alone was de-
veloped
It ia the same with drinking whiskey; one
drirker can't smell another's breath; but a
delicate, h1gh-strung Woman-especially IT, q
Proh!bitionist- might smell the breath OF a
drtnker, before half way home; and in some
cases. before he left the saloon.
Then he wonders how she found 1t out II
she drank, she could not; the taste in her
mouth would dull her sense Of smell so that
she would have to put her nose down his
throat to find out what had gone down his
neck.
How about eating onions2 It Is well known
that where one person eats onions and the
other does not, that the one who does not,
frequently has to eat them for self-protec-
tion-to destroy the smell of the other indivi-
dual's breath.
BY not injuring my sense Of smell by put
ting tobacco in my mouth, I have cigar
testing down fine
My way OF enjoying smoke and judging Of
the quality Of tobacco would not make a
cigar manufacturer rich, but my opinion as
to the value Of his goods might count more
than nickel in the slot-that is, If he kept
frst-class goods.
Under my way Of enjoyment and economy,
II twenty men were in a room land was one
Of them). and nineteen of them were indulg-
Ing I would get the benefit Of nineteen cigars
all at once-free.
I'd not only taste and smell smoke, but have
my clothes full Of 1t to go home with and
smell on the road
It might seem narrow and selfish to let
others buy all the cigars and perform all
the labor Of using them, then sit back and
get the full benefit without cost, but this is
the only way can do 1t since taking the
cure"
