mouth, heart to heart, it had given
sight, breath, life.

ton Of life The bowl was emptied.

How SMOKING Iniures HeaIth.

Laboratory work at the Paris Medi-
cal college indicates that tobacco
smoking does injure the heart, but
not, as generally supposed, on account
of the nicotine present. Tobacco with
various proportions of nicotine was
used in the tests, and the effect on the
heart was the same. Oak leaves were
found to produce very much the same
result as tobacco, and the conclusion
reached was that the harmful effects
are due to products of combustion, con-
tanned in smoke Of widely diherent
origin
