Tobacco Has Not Yet Been Fully Tried Before The Bar Of Science. But The Tribunal Has Been Prepared And The Gathering Of Evidence Has Begun And When The Final Verdict Is Rendered, It Will Appear That Tobacco Is Evil And Only Evil; That As A Drug It Is Far More Deadly Than Alcohol, Killing In A Dose A Thousand Times Smaller, And That It Does Not Possess A Single One Of The Quasi Merits Of Alcohol.

Tobacco, In Its Various Forms, Is One Of The Most Mischievous Of All Drugs. There Is Perhaps No Other Drug Which Injures The Body In So Many Ways And So Universally As Does Tobacco.
