A Solace for Smokers

A Solace for Smokers.—The Pacific Ensign says: "Dr. Spencer, of San Francisco, a noted bacteriologist, finds tubercle bacilli in the cigars manufactured at factory 32, No. 729 Sacramento Street, San Francisco. The paste, the dry filth from the floors, and the tobacco fragments, showed the presence of great numbers of bacteria, and the absence of even ordinary hygienic principles in the use and care of materials used in making cigars. Yet men will sell, buy, and smoke the poisonous weed."
