FOR THE USERS OF TOBACCO
Assertion That Plant Was Certainly
Placed Here for Good Purpose.

II is passing strange that, with all
the experience at command, the ply
siologlsts are never in agreement as to
the effects of the smoking habit. Even
where lay opinion has been fairly we'll
established by the apparently we'll d.
gested views Of the scientists with re-
spect to certain phases Of the whole
problem. they are wholly liable to up
setting by the latest opinion. For ex-
ample, two considerations have long
been thought TO be determined-that
moderate indulgence in tobacco need
not be denied, and that the lad not
out Of his teens would better abjure
tobacco altogether. 1t may be assert.
ed that man is not smoker by ma
ture; and certain effects of tobacco
seem to indicate, without es-ecial ar
gument, that the longer the acquire
ment of the habit is postponed the bet
ter for the human system. At the
same time the remote antiquity Of the
tobacco plant suggests that It is one

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY
New Drug, Poslam, Now obtainable in
Small Quantities

Since its discovery one year ago the
new drug, poslam, has successfully
cured thousands Of chronic cases of
eczema and other distressing skin af-
fiictions Heretofore poslam has been
dispensed solely for the benefit of &C.
zema patients in large jars sufficient
for months treatment. This was
found to be an inconvenience to many
thousands who use 1t for minor skin
troubles, such as pimples, blackheads,
herpes, acne, scaly scalp, complexion
blemlshes, itching feet, piles, etc,
which require but small quantity to
cure. To overcome this, and in res
ponse to urgent appeals, the dispen-
sers of poslam have been Obliged to
adopt, in addition to the regular two
dollar package, special fifty-cent size
which In future may be found on sale
at w. l.. Gokay's and other leading
drug stores in Bennington or may be
ordered direct from the Emergency
Laboratories, No. 80 West 25th Street,
New York City. In all eczema cases
poslam stops itching with first appli-
cation and proceeds to heal immedi-
ately, chronic cases being cured In
two weeks. In less serious skin trou-
bles, results are seen after an over
night application.
Samples for experimental purposes
may still be had, free of charge, by
writing to the laboratories for them.
