DROVE PEPYS TO TOBACCO
Diarist Recorded How Sight of
Stricken Abodes During Great
Plague Affected Him.

While the great plague ragged in
London tobacco was recommended by
the faculty and generally taken as a
preventive against infection. Pepys
records the following on June Z. 1865,
the Detroit News recalls:
''The hottest day that ever felt in
my life. This day, much against my
will, l did In Drury lane see two or
three houses marked with red cross
upon the doors, and. Lord have mercy
upon usv writ there; which was a
sight to me, being the first of the kind.
to my remembrance, l ever saw. 1t
puts me into an i'll conception of N.Y.
self and my smell, so that l was forced
to buy some roll tobacco and chew
which took away the apprehension"
Further, 1t was popularity reported
that no tobacconists or their house
holds were afflicted by the plague
Physicians who visited the sick took
tobacco very freely; the men who
went around with the dead carts had
their pipes continually alight. This
gave tobacco new popularity and 1t
took the high medical position accord
ed to 1t by the physicians of the
French court.

detached voice. I'm sorry, Robert,

could not bear the thoughts.
Anice hurried home from the office
next afternoon to get everything ready
for her guests. She had brought some
yellow roses and some cakes, and as
she began cutting wafer-thin slices
of bread for the sandwiches her moth

seemed like the sheath of q lily bud

Anice read new enthusiasm, a Ger
