attack of faintness or fainting with a
violent sneeze. Our ancestors took
snuff from belief In the efficacy of
sneezing. But tobacco so taken Is IN

Arabian SnuH.

Snuff in Arabia is not used as IT. Is
with us, although one occasionally sees
q snuffer, but the snuff Is ordinarily
made into a pill of about the size of q
robins egg and is placed between the
lower front lip and the teeth. This
manner of using snuff Is common
among the laboring class. and almost
every cody that is met in the street
has his lower lip puffed out by bal
of snuff behind It. Arabian snuff Is
prepared out of the ordinary powdered
tobacco. unrefined sugar and potash.
