.'There is an easy way, if you are a
cigarette smoker, to tell whether or
not the habit Injuries you," said a ply
stefan. do you feel, after smoking, a
languor, n sinking and a great depres-
sion? Do you feel melancholy, hope
less, weak? If you do you should aban-
don smoking at once.
"The tendency of tobacco i to weak
en- the action of the heart. But in very
strong, robust persons this weakening
effect is very slight. 1t is not felt at
all. and these persons tobacco cannot
be said to injure. But In persons whose
hearts and constitution are frail the eff
feet is strongly felt, the symptoms be-
ing those that l have just described,
and such persons ought not to moke.'
This specialist has tabulated the rec
ords of all the smoking and nonsmok-
ing medical students of his acquaint-
ance for a period Of nine years. He
has found that the smokers are shorter
in stature than the nonsmokers and
that they do not develop as well. In
the course of four years nonsmokers
gain "a per cent more in height and II
per cent more in chest girth than tn
smokers. The former, too, are quicker
than the latter. They learn quicker
