Boys Hurt by Cigarettes.

Excessive use OF tobacco, especially
III the form of cigarettes, dulls the in
tellect, impairs nutrition, seriously af-
fects the eyes, causes functional and
organic heart disease, and in other ways
contributes 10 physical and. mental de-
generacy.
Boys who smoke cigarettes much are
prodigious liars and thieves, have been
found unmanageable at home and at
school, and judges of the juvenile courts
have declared that "of the incorrigible
and criminal class OF boys. not boy
has been found who did not use Gig
arettes."
During the past decade the habit of
cigarette smoking, especially by boys
aud young men before the age of matur
ity, has given rise to so many cases of
chronic tt bacco poisoning as to cause
legislatures to enact laws preventing
their sale to heyouthful.. Usually and
unfortunately, many young adults who
use tobacco excessively also indulge in
alcohol, and in these subjects the use
of both poisons often produces atrophv
oil the optic nerve or retina and other
