Effects of Cigarette Smoking.

DR.. Marden, in Success, has this to
Say to the boy beginning the use oil
the cigarette: "The whole tendency
of the cigarette nicotine poison In
the youth Is to arrest development.
1t Is fatal to all normal functions.
Is blights and blasts both health
and morals. 1t not only ruins the
faculties, but il unbalances the mind,
as well. Many OF the most pitiiul
case of insanity In our ssylums are
cigarette finds. Ii creates abnor
NAL sppetites, strange longings, un.
defined desires, discomfort, uneasi.
ness, nervousness, irritability, and,
1 many, an almost irresistible incli.
nation to crime. In fact, the moral
DEF ravity wli,h follows the cigarette
habit is something frightiul-lying,
cheating, jmpurity, loss Of moral
courage and manhood, a complete
dropping OF LIES standards allalong
the line, are its general results"
Magistrate Crane, Of New York
City, says: "Ninety nine out OF a
hundred boys between the ages OF
ten and seventeen years who come
before me charged with crime have
their fingers disfgured by yellow
cigare tie stains. / do not care to
pose as reiormer, but 1t is my opin-
Ion that cigarettes will do more than
liquor to ruin boys. When you have
arraigned before you boys who are
hopelessly deaf through the excessive
use Of cigarettes, boys who have
stolen their sisters earnings, boys
who absolutely refuse to work, who
do. nothinf but gamble and steal,
you can not help seeing that there is
some direct cause, and q great deal
otthis boyhood crime Is, tomy mind,
easily traced to the deadly cigarette.
There is something in the poison of
the cigarette that seems TO get into
the system OF the boy and to destroy
al! bis moral fiber"
Cigarette smoking is no longer SIM
ply a moral question. The great
business world has taken IL up as a
deadly enemy to advancement and
achievements, and many leading bus.
