Tobacco

By Editor

Tobacco.—Dr. N. S. Davis, the father of the "American Medical Association," makes a strong plea against tobacco-using, and presses it home with strong reasons, in the Life Boat for February. He tells us that from $800,000,000 to $1,000,000,000 worth of tobacco is used yearly in this country, which means an average of from $10 to $12.50 a year for every man, woman, and child. Think of it, a million times worse than wasted; a billion-dollar conflagration, with nerves and blood and heart and health and consciences consumed, and all a total loss. The fire in the Iroquois Theater, terrible as it was, is hardly a circumstance compared with the awful tobacco fire constantly going on. Dr. Davis did not say all this, but he said much else of worth. This entire number of the Life Boat is on tobacco, and is excellent. Price 5 cents. Address, 28 Thirty-third Place, Chicago, Ill.
