smoke-if you can:
In smoking tobacco we take in car.
bonic oxide, several ammonias and a
very poisonous oil containing nicotine
Inc ammolias and nicotine are the
substances which by acting in ume
GUS directions are SO injurious to the
system. The ammonias act on the
blood, making it alkaline and anid
thereby impairing its nutlttlve prom
erty.
The stomach is debilitatcl and dys-
pepsla induced. The in1e1vation Of
the heart is disturbed. it's action is
weak, irregular and intermittent, and
ra1ntness and vertigo are he conso-
quenceS.
Owing to the disturbances in the
biood ana heart the process of rutri-

To you, inspector. the whole incident
may appeal as a remarkable profess

Having once recognized. however.
that the symbols stood for letters. and
having applied the rules which guide
