Effects of Tobacco
On the Human System
ay v I.K.MIKMNG, M. D.
. PEOPLE who argue about the
narmfulness or lack of harm in
tobacco should remember it was
first used as a medicine—healing
rather than harming.
W hen the Spaniards were intro
duced to tobacco by the Indians,
Dr.Clendening will answer
questions of general interest
only, and then only through
his column.
they found it was used for the
treatment of wounds.
The Indians also used it for
pains, especially joint pains, and
they used it just as we do—by in
haling the smoke.
But all of this is «f antiquarian
interest. The modern man or wo
man wants the modern physician
to declare whether the use of to
bacco is good or bad for them.
Causes Functional Diseases
Unlike alcohol, tobacco does not
cause any permanent organic di
seases, only functional ones. In
other words, tobacco causes no
gross changes iu any organ of the
body, such as alcoholic cirrhosis
of the liver. The functional
changes which it produces are
very definite. It increases the
heart beat, often causing palpita
tion. It raises blood pressure
slightly and creates a spasm of
the arteries. For the last reason
it is distinctly to be forbidden in
cases of pain nround the heart—
angina pectoris.
As everyone knows from his
own first experiences with it, it
certainly can cause nausea, vomit
ing. digestive upsets and a state
of shock. On the good side eT the
ledgor, it tends to relieve consti
pation.
Chewing Tobacco narmfnl
I believe that a number of peo
ple, especially those who chew to
bacco, have ruined their health
for life by creating an inflamma
tion of the stomach and bowel and
:onsequently, malnutrition and
underweight.
The key to the whole subject of
.he use of tobacco is the word
'moderation," but that is a very
| ulficult word to define. Tin; trou
I
Iilc with moderation is that peo
ple start in and say they are only
going to have one cigar or one
cigarette and then they go on to
five or six. The chain smoker is
certainly not acting moderately.
For nervous, high-strung peo
ple and those with a tendency to
indigestion or heart pain, I believe
tobacco is distinctly bad. For us
moderate smokers it is harmless
and a joy added to life.
<il ESTIONS AND ANSWERS
A. M.:—Please explain the
word astigmatism. What is the
cause of it? Is there anything a
mother rould do when she is
pregnant? Will a child with
astigmatism have to wear glasses
all its life?
Answer: Astigmatism is change
in the contour of the cornea of the
eye. It has nothing to do with
heredity and there is nothing a
mother could do during preg
nancy to prevent it. It is not
serious; in fact, there are very
few normal eyes in the world and
probably about 80 per cent of the
human race have some degree of
astigmatism. Whether glasses
should be worn or not depends on
how serious it is—whether it
causes any symptoms, such &s
headache.
F. T. J.: Is it a serious opera
tion to have bunions removed from
the feet and about how long would
it be before a person could return
to work after such an operation?
Answer: Bunion repair is not
considered to be a serious opera
tion. but for good healing to occur
it takes some time — at least a
week or more before activity can
be resumed.
F. W. R.:—I understand that
the continued use of yeast has
been known to create a permanent
cure for diabetes. Is this true?
Answer: No.
O. M. H.:--Can a lady past 80
years, having had her change 42
years ago, now in good health,
have a return of her menses?
Answer: I would say that kind
of discharge was most likvly to be
a diseased condition and requires
immediate examination.
