THOMAS A. EDISON
CONDEMNS COFFIN NAILS

Principal Nielsen has secured a fine
framed facsimile copy of Thomas A.
Edison's now famous letter to Henry
Ford, regarding the injurious effects
Of cigarettes.
The letter was written by Mr.. Edi-
son to Mr.. Ford upon Mr.. Ford's re-
quest for Mr.. Edison's opinion of
cigarettes. The framed facsimile is
presented by Mr.. Ford.
Mr.. Edison's letter reads as follows:
Orange, N. Y, April 26, 1914
Friend Ford,
The injurious agent in cigarettes
comes principally from the burning
paper wrapper. The substance there
by formed, is called 'Acrolein." 1t
has a violent action on the nerve CEN
ters. producing degeneration of the
cells Of the brain, which is quite rapid
among boys.
Unlike most narcotics this degen-
GRAFTON is permanent and uncontroll
able. j employ no person who smokes
cigarettes. Yours,
