SnuT and snuff Taking.

Il word in season to snuff takers. As
the nerves Of our noStrils are so little pro-
tected, they are very delicate and sensitive,
and when we take snuff all the nerves in
the body are affected in sympathy. In
consequence snuff taking, like smoking,
has u narcotic effect upon the brain AM
naturally acts upon the intelligence. Thus
it can easily be seen that it weakens the
memory. II we were to use it only rs a
medicine or an occasional stimuSnt, there
would be some advantage in using it. If
used constantly, it inflames the nostrils
and may produce an incurable polypus.
To those who make blood quickly or are
feeble or suffer from ulcers nothing can
be more preiudicial. Snuff takers have
generally weak sight In short, it is a per
nicious habit and one that should be
fought against vigorously. New York
