quantity.

If men used tobacco in moderation, there would be much less objection to
it, if it was not so intimately


ASSOCIATED WITH THE HABIT OF DRINKING.

This is recognized by the trade, in the fact that we see many tobacco

Although the poisonous symptoms of tobacco are, in a great degree, the
