cal lthe young man? And what shall I call them both?
 Smoking has brought on duoden- al ulcer complex in q great many cases, that is, all the symptoms that are ordinarily present when there Is an ulcer in the stomach or duo- denum.
 Smoking is notorious as cause of hypcrchlorhydria, secretion of an excessively acid gastric juice, heartburn, waterbrash, or what the dumb ones call just "sour stomach or dyspepsia"
 The attempt to tell the great moron population that smoking Is the thing to bring relief whenever you happen to feel tired, exhaus. ted, weary, worried or anxious about anything, is going to do q lot of harm to the race. There are already far too many neurotics cumberling the earth. That's almost as vicious as teaching the unwary public that dose of aspirin or bromo-seltzer Is quick relief for such sensations.
 It matters little whether the smoker inhales or not, go far as | the injurious effects Of tobacco are 1 concerned. Inhaling merely expos- es Il larger area of mucous fnem- 1 branc to the smoke. so that the eff | feet will be produced more quick ly. Nor docs 1t matter whether the 1 tobacco chewer swallows the to- l bacco juice or absorbs 1t through tho month. Any one who has ever | taken tablet of nitroglycerin (glyceryI trlnitrate) knows ho" quickly 1t Is absorbed if the tablet Is allowed to dissolve nder the | tongue.

EO Answcr--Pasteurizin& Cheating to 145 degrees Y. for 20 to 30 min utcs) is sufficient to kill any di- seasc germs in milk. But it Is more destructive to vitamin C than scalding is. Personally. I should prefer the raw milk. and unless | hts were the purest milk obtain able (ccrtihcd) or the herd were | tubcrculin tested, I'd scald 1t. that is. bring 1t to a boil for one min l ute only.
