Tobacco Fouled Air.

"When we enter a foul air from the street we feel the effect and know the cause. But when we shut up a room, and sit in it till the air becomes close, we gradually grow stupid and nervous and uncomfortable; our head begins to ache; but still we struggle on with our work, till finally it grows unendurable, and at last it strikes us that the windows are all closed, and the thermometer at eighty, and the air heavy and poisonous. We step out, get the fresh breeze, and are ourselves again. Most people are educated up to the point of knowing good air from bad, very few to the knowing of the influence of tobacco when shown in the same way."
