Il seldom advise my patients to stop
smoking, because l know it's a waste

ban physician. I'm many cases 1 do
advise moderation in the use of the
weed, and when a patient has weak
throat there is one thing that l posi-
lively insist upon, and that is that he
shall not ride in the smoking cars at

do a man more injury than smoking
half dozen cigars in the open air, or
in a properly ventilated room that is
not crowded with other smokers.
