Physiological Effects
Tobacco.
CONTINUED from last week.)

Because of this poison, nico-
tine, the juice of the tobacco is
seldom purposely swallowed;
but in chewing, the saliva dis
solves the nicotine, and a part of
it is absorbed into the system,
while in smoking. the nicotine in
the smoke and vapor is absorbed
by the saliva and the moist mem
branes of the mouth and nose,
and taken into the system, where
it exerts all of it's harmful effects,
among which is an irritation of
all the memb ranes with which it
comes in contact. After a time
the narcotic effect dulls the sense
of feeling, so that the irritation,
while it still exists, is not felt.
This poison in the system makes
one less able to throw off disease,
and some of the best insurance
companies are refusing to insure
tobacco smokers.
Tobacco has this narcotic eff
feet on most people. While the
mischief done by it's use is usual
ly of slow growth and effect, it is
nevertheless sure. Many of the
complicated diseases which de
bilitate men and take them from
life prematurely can be traced
to arrangement of the func-
tions of various organs of the
body caused by long continued
use of this narcotic. That the
healthy body has no need of it is
quite wellevidenced in the effect
it produceE ppan the beginner
The dizziness faiptness, head
ache. and nausea, go to show
that the healthy body, especially
of the young person, strongly
rebels against it's use.
Certain things are definitely
known that indicate the harmfu
nature of tobacco. 1t always in
creases the blood pressure, Thi:
tends, sooner or later, to a dis
eased condition of the blood yes
sells, especially of the arteries
1t tends also just as certainly t(
ms liability of the heart. Tobac
co heart is form of heart dis
ease that results from the habit
ual use of this narcotic. The
feeling of palpitation and irregu
larity of the pulse, in a persor
suffering from this disorder, are
caused by the toxic effect of the
nicotine upon the nerves tha'
control the hearts action. The
pulse OF every habitual user o
tobacco will show irregularities
of the hearts action. In a re
cent examination of mum Der o
Young men for service in the
navy, a large majority of then
were rejected on account of to
bacco heart"
The chief mental effect of the
use of tobacco is that it encour
ages dreaming rather than do
ing. 1t encourages revery-the
contemplation of the possible
which is a charming but un'
wholesome substitute for the
performance of the duty next tc
hand, 1t also destroys ambition,
tending to listlessness, laziness,
and low ideals. These mental
effects are especially noticeable
in the young. Thus the use OF
tobacco, physically considered,
is a pernicious habit in, what
ever form it is introduced in the
system. Its active principle,
nicotine, which is an energetic
poison, exerts it's specific effect
on the nervous system, tending
to stimulate it to an unnatural
degree of activity, the final re
suit of which is weakness, stupe-
faction, or even paralysis.
ITO be continued.)
