Doctor Tells How to Detect
Harmful Effects of Tobacco
Try these SIMPLE TESTS

New York; Doctor Conner, formerly OF
Johns Hopkins hospital, says: Many men who
smoke chew or snuff necessarily and who are
seemingly healthy, suffering from pro-
gressive organic ailments. Thousands of them
would never have been afflicted had it not
been for the use of tobacco, and thousands
would soon get well II they would only stop
the use of tobacco The chief habt-forning
principle Of tobacco is nicotine, deadly poi
con which, when absorbed by the system slow
ly affects the nerves, membranes, tissues and
vital organs of the body. The harmful effect
of tobacco varies and depends on crcum-
stances. One will be afflicted with general
debility, others with catarrh of the throat, in
digestion, constipation, extreme nervousness.
sloeplessness, loss of memory, lack of will
power, mental confusion, etc. Others may
suffer from heart disease bronchial trouble.
hardening Of the arteries tuberculosis blind
ness or even cancer or the common affection
known az tobacco heart. If you use tobacco in
any form, you can easily detect the harmful
effects by making the following simple tests.
Read aloud one full page from a book. If, in
the course Of reading. your voice becomes
muffled, hoarse and indistinct. and you must
frequently clear your throat, the chances are
that your throat is affected by catarrh and it
may be the BEGINNING Of more serious trouble.

smoke, walk up three higts of stairs at a reg

POISoNS IN COMMON SALT

When a native OF the savage tribes
OF Africa happens to find piece OF

fortunate. Often he will invite his

bit. passing II around in much the

seems TO be necessary for most forms
Of animal life. Cattle will travel for
miles Just to get a taste Of II.
Few persons realize when eating
this substance that IL Is composed OF
tvvo deadly pOisOnS, the metal sodium
and the gas chlorine. Sodium Is one
Of the most active metals, while chlor-
inc Is a gas dangerous to breathe even
in small quantities. II a piece OF so
dium Is placed on water 1t will react
violently. For this reason II Is al
ways kept under kerosene to keep II
from reacting with the moisture In the
air, and IL Is always handled with
tweezers, as II will cause a severe burn
II allowed TO touch the skin, espe
cially IL the hands are damp. The pol
sOnous nature OF chlorine is generally
known. ms il was one of the first dead
~ gases used by the Germans during
the world war.
When these two chemical elements
unite each loses its poisonous nature
and the salt which is formed Is an
entirely new substance, having none
Of the properties OF either sodium or
chlorine. Nevertheless salt Is COM
posed Of two deadly poisOns, but chem
Ically combined we eat ii every day,
