The Cigaret Evil

The Cigaret Evil.—There is probably no greater in the tobacco line, as many of the cigarets are flavored and mixed with opium, not only poisoning the system with the deadly nicotine, but enslaving the individual with a habit and curse even more deadly than that of the tobacco. The profits of the Cigaret Trust last year amounted to $7,000,000. A short time ago it was said that a St. Louis firm was about to build a factory in New York, the capacity of which was 12,000,000 cigarets a day. And this is but a part of Satan's army of destructive vampires, preying upon the souls and bodies of humanity.
