The use of lobttcco has become so prevalent in this coitntry, that in going places a Lingo miiytirtly (if both sexes, above fifteen yoirs of age, stroll", smoke, or chew it. The same hn- blte prcvuil to a great extent in almost every portion of the globe. \Vlicn we take into consideration the disagreeable and re- pulsive ch-tnicter of this production to the iinvitiatetl palate. it is truly surprising, that it should ever have been thonitht 0|‘ 33 an article for such use at all : and when to this 1.. usiileration is added, the exceedingly important one, that it is highly injurious to the httin:in system, the fact of its general mo becomes still more astouisliing. Many, however, are not aware ofits por- nicioiis elf.-eta, and this will, i.-i some degree, account for its extensive list‘. I purpose, tlierefore. to exhibit these effects in their true colours in this article, in the hope of inducing such to uliandon these banefiil habits. It should be uiulorstimtl, then, tobacco is an actual and XI virulent poison. Three drops oftlie distilled oil of tobacco. dropped upon the tongue ofa full sized cst usually causes death in front three to ten minutes: and even when used medically, it It is so bziiieful a tendency, that pliysiciuns now seldmn admin- ister it, to disc see even in the most desperate cases. In many instances, where it has been applied intern:illy, or even exter- nally, it has caused ileatli in a short ptriml. A loliacco poulvice applied to the pit of the stomach causes terrible vomit- logs in a very short time. Its application to the head produces similar effects. A girl about seven years of ti-.:c, in good health, was seized with incessant vomiting, by merely having an ointment ofbutter and snufi" applied to her head, which was affected with a disease. Fonzana ranks tobacco wiili tho vege- table puisons: and he gives the following account of his experiments: " I miitle," says he, “ an incision in :i pigeon‘s leg, and ap- plied to it tl.e oil oftobncco; in two minutes it lost the use of its foot. I repeated the experiment on another pi-.'eINI. ¢I'Hl the event was exactly the sa ue. I tnaile a small wound in the pectoral muscles ofa pigeon, and applieil the oil to it: ill lllwe minutes the animal coul-.l no iou<_vcr sttppurl itselfott its left foot. This experiinont repeated on another pigeon, omletl the some way. I iutroilii<'e«l into the pector.tl muscles of it pigeon, a snail bit of wood covcre.l with this oil? the pigeon in it ow seconds fell iuselisilile. Two other pigeons to whose muscles I applied this oil, vomited several times till that they hail eaten. Two others with empty stouiuclis, treated as above, maile all possible efforts to vuuit. Vomiting was the most constant effect of this oil.” To the t"-ire,_miii.: it may be adtlml, that an application of tnliacco in almost arty form will pruilui-c 7| similar clfecl : and chemists tell its that tobacco leaves, distilled in a retort, witli- out atlllllltlll, yield an acrid, empyreumatit-, poisonous oil. Keinpfer also classes it with the strong vegetable poisons : a most appropriate classification imlc.-ed, since a single drop of the chemical ml of tobacco, applied to the tongue ofa cat, h:is pro- duced violent convulsions, and caused death in one miiiitte ; and is thread dipped in the same oil, and drawn through a wound WI-tile by a needle in an animal, has killed it in seven minutes. Nay, what can be expect.-nl but that the strong caustic oil and acrid salt contained in it will produce incalculable evils. Some of tliose evils we will here bring into view. Dr. illoynwaring, in his treatise on the scurvy, asserts, that tobacco causes scorbutic complaints, and that the scurvy has riboundctl much more since the commencement of the use of tobacco than it ever did before. Oid Mr. Salmon most emi- ncut in practical medicine in his day, says: “ The ordinary and constant use of enush" (meaning snot?) “ is of very evil consequences, and induces npoplexies : and I am confident that more have died of apopleiry in one year since the use of this sntisli, than have died of that «lisease in :t liundretl before the use thereof: and most, if not all, of those I have observed to die of late of that disease, were extreme and constant sunsh- takers.” As to smoking, every lIlOlll(‘.'|l man knows that the saliva, which is so copiously drziiuctl (III by the pipe, is the first and ,'_'l‘t:.'llC3I i’tl_7l‘lll \Vllll‘.Il tiattire emnlnys in tltgesling I'uotl. Dair- wixt. in his Zuunomia, says: “ The unwise custom of chewing and siimkin: toliuecn for many hours in the day, not only III- jurcs lltc salivary gluiiils, producing dryne‘s in the uinutli, when this drug is not used, but I suspect. that it also produces scir- rlius in the pnmreas. The use ol'tob:tcco in this immoderate (lL'_|_’l‘L'tl injurt-s tlio powi-r of iligestiiiit, by occasioning the patient to spit out that saliva. \\'lll('lI he ought to swallow; and liencc produce that flaluloncy, wliicli the vulgar ttufortiiiintely take it to prevent.” “ I stw what I conjectitretl to be ttitnnr of the pancreas, \\llll indignation. and which teruiiiinted with the ilentlt oftlie palieiit. lle had been for many years a great consumer of tolmcco, inasmuch that he chewed that noxious drug all the morning and smoked it all the afternooii." But smoking and chewing not oul_v carry nlfthc necessary stilivti from its proper place ; they likewise snturttle the lontzeo and mouth with tobacco juice, thereby vitiziting the saliva that rentuins, wliicli in this pernicious and poisonous coiitlilimt finds its way to the stomach. Who, in view of these considerations can wonder that tobacco “ fixes its tleailly grasp upon the or- trans of vitality, gradually undermining the health, and sowing the seeds of disease, which are sure, sooner or later, to take root and spring up, carrying away its victim to a premature grave!” Who can wonder at the rlizziness, tho p:iin in the hezi-l, the faiutness. the pain in the stomaolt, the weakness. tltc trcinulousncss, hiiskiuess of the voice, the ilislurbetl sleep, the IlI;_'llllIl.’l|’e, the irnsciliility, the mental tlt-preseiitii, the epilepsy, and even mental iler.ini_vcmcnt oftlie victim oftuliacco! " It seems,” says Henry H. Brown, " to act directly upon the nervous spstein, eufet-bling, exliausling, or destroytiuz the powers of life. It is a'so especially liable to tliinmislt tho sensibility of the membrane lining the nose, mouth, and stomach : (‘hf-'f3llllllL_7 the nervous power of this latter organ, so that, instead of proinutiug digestion, as pretended by many, it has a ilircct tendency to proilnce dyspepsia, with all its dtreftil train of s_vtnptinns." One til‘ ilic most eminent surgeons in the country states, that of the crises ofcancer of the under lip which hail come within his observation, all but three were those of individuals who hail, at some period uftheir lives, usctl tobacco in some one of its forms. With regard to sniilfin particular, Do liumzire says : " The least evil which yott can expect it to produce is, to dry up the brain, emaciate llir hotly, etifecblc the meiuory, and destroy, if not entirely, yet in a great measure, the delicate sense of smelling." “Common snuff, in liabitiial soull- takers“ says is sensible medical practitioner, “ has been founil to penetrate into the sinuses cotiintunicatitig with the nose, anil into the rintrum, where it has for.-red horrid abscesses, it is often carried down into the stomach ; and. by the use of it the skin is tinged of a pale brown colour." The most tlelictite females have their complexion entirely ruined by it. Many cases have been observed where the appetite has been almost destroyed and consnption induced, by its excessive use. As to smoking, which some perhaps deem very harmless, J. Iiortlii, in a letter to llarthnline, states, that the brain ofan immoilerate smoker. on dissection, was fottnd dried and shrivel- lod up, by his excessive use of the pipe. Instead of preserving the teeth from decay, as many stip- pose, the chewing or smoking of tobacco wears down or ab- sorbs the grinding surface of tits teeth much faster than would AUGUST 19. 1851. mantis.
