AN IDOL OF CHRISTIAN LANDS. Tobacco, to the amount of 250.000, 000, isnsed in -this country annually. This is about seven dollars to each per son, or thirty for each man. The half-dozen cigars which most smoke s use a day contain HX or seven grains nicotitit . -nnugh, if concentrated and absorbed, to kill three men ; and a pound of tobacco, according to its quality, coutains from one-quarter to one and! a quarter ounces. - Is U strange, then, that smokers and chewers have a thousand ailments? that German physicians attribute onehalfoi the deaths among iLe young men of that country to-tobacco ? that the French Polytechnic Institute had to prohibit its use on account of i:s effects eu the miud 1 that men glow dispeptic, hypochrnndaiac, insane, delirious, from its use 7 One j oi '.he direct effects of tobacco is to weaken the heart. Note the multitude of "sudden deaths," aud see how many are smoker andcjiewers. Iu a sni ill country town, seven of these "mysterious providences ocenrred within the circuit ot a mile, all directly traceable to , tobacco ; aud any physician, on a few moments' reflection, can match this fact by his own ohserva-. tion.
