Effects of Smoking Among Students

Dr. A. L. Gilson, of the United States Navy, gives the following as among the effects of smoking among the students: It leads to impaired nutrition of the nerve-centers. It is a fertile cause of neuralgia, vertigo, and indigestion. It irritates the mouth and throat, and thus destroys the purity of the voice. By excitation of the optic nerve, it provokes amaurosis and other defects of vision. It causes a tremulous hand, an intermittent pulse, and develops irritability of heart.
