harmed from the vantage point OF
the business world, We know this be
cause it is emphasized in most ad-
vertisements that they are not want
ed.
To prove that the cigaret is
poisonous to the whole system we
take for example a boy who Is the
user of it, feels the needs of ply
sician and goes to him. The doctor
seems to think that the using OF
cigarets is the trouble, but the boy
does not wish to acknowledge this,
and to prove that the DOCTORS word
is true he takes a small insect call
ed a leech and puts it on the arm OF
the boy. After while it falls to the
floor dead. But still the boy did not
believe this was the cause of Its
{ death. He told the doctor if he
would apply the second insect and
it did as the first he would believe
that the cigaret was the cause OF
impure blood. The second insect
did as the first. Finally the boy
said, "Doctor,I believe you are right
and l will stop the use OF tobacco
in any form if it poisons the blood"
The jails and asylums are being
filed day by day with The men who
have become the victims of the Gig
aret, and also the hospitals by those
who have been affected by 1t, and
also the liquor habit, but we find
that the victim breads giving up
cigarets more than they do liquor.
The cigaret is more harmful than
the cigar because the enameled pa
per in which the tobacco is wrapped
is usually made by process in
volving the use of poison. The effect
of cigaret smoking on boys is clear
ly shown by some of the speeches
by members of the great temperance
leagues.
The user of the cigaret often
times when he can not get It other
wise, will even steal it and when the
time comes for questioning he will
lie. The cigaret being smoked in
room which is not we'll ventilated
| is even poisonous and will some
times cause, the death of any one
who is sleeping in that room. To
illustrate this point We find in
French report the death of a youth
who was sleeping in closed room
where several persons had been
smoking. At midnight he was found
insensibe and a doctor was sum-
moned but all effort for his restora-
ton was fruitless and the doctor
pronounced his case as one Of con-
iestion of the brain caused by the
respiration of oigaret smoking dur
ing sleep.
Even back as far as the sixteenth
century the head of the people, who
was ignorant of the great harm of
the tobacco, forbade the using OF 1t
and often times those who used to-
bacco were punished. Its tendency
in the young Is to idleness, pro-
family, drunkenness, disobedience
to parents, and Sabbath Dissertation.
1t loves to dwell with its kindred.
THE cigaret is not much of a
| mathematician. but it can add to a
boys nervous troubles, ii can sub
tract from his physical energy; it
can multiply his aches and pains; it
can take interest from his work,
and discount his chances of sue
CESS" The cigaret is the nail which
clasps its victim in the coffin. To-
bacco intemperance is injurious to
the body at any age.
The cigaret has relationship to
crime, and they are closely related to
each other. Young lneu why do you
rob yourself of the nobilities which
are due you by using the low down
stuff called tobacco.
Such facts as these certainly in
dictate clearly why boy should not
use tobacco in any form.
