In 1902 an English physician
wrote a Work for Chimny-
Sweepers: Or a warning for
TabacconiStS," in which he
attacked smoking as harmful
to the health. This was
scarcely of the press before
DR.. Roger Marbecke wrote q
rebuttal, recommending smok-
ing in moderation as bene-
fetal.
King James I of England,
who Is sometimes accused of
having had Sir Walter Ra-
leigh executed for introducing
tobacco into that country,
wrote his famous Counter
Blaste to Tobacco" in 1904,
attacking its use as ''lothsome
to the eye, hateful to the
Nose, harmefull to the braine,
dangerous to the Lungs"
During the same period. a

TVO SMOKE or not to smoke
J. was q question heatedly
debated by physicians in
Shakespeare's day. at a time
when there were reputed to be
1000 tobacco stores In London.
This controversy is indicated
by perusal of the books in
Folger Shakespeare Library,
201 East Capitol street, where
there is the worlds greatest
collection Of books, manu-
scripts and pictures concern
ing Shakespeare and his
period, including valuable new
medical acquisitions.
Hundreds Of books have
been written on each side Of
the smoking subject since

to tobacco in English poetry
occurs in Spenser's "Faery

a first edition printed in Lon

The fact that the Indians
made some use of tobacco and
its smoke for therapeutic

George |. Mccarthy.
Recordak Inventor
BY the Associated Press

GREENWICH, Conn. July 10.
George Lewis Mccarthy, Sc,
inventor of a microfilm process
used by banks, libraries and
numerous other businesses, died
at his home yesterday.
The process devised by Mr..
Mccarthy was inspired by the
need of banks to guard against
any INSCRIPTIONS depoSitors who
denied having cashed checks aft
er they had been processed by
the banks.
Since checks were returned to
the depositors along with periodic
statements, the banks OCCASION
ally were unable to prove later
that they had been written at all.
Mr.. Mccarthy. a vice president
Of a New York banking firm, hit
on the idea Of making a photo
graphic record of the checks. In
basement workshop, he per-
fected a system whereby movie
camera photographed the checks
as they moved through an adding
machine.
The system came to the atten-
ton of George Eastman, and in
1928 the Recordak Corp. was
established as a subsidiary of the
Eastman Kodak Co. to turn out
the microfilming equipment.
Mr.. Mccarthy was chief exc
cutive of the new firm. At the
time of his death he was chair
man of the Board of Directors.
