way into the stomach, and there exert its dele-

it entering the stomach, it will operate upon the
nerves to vltrich it is applied, and produce the
same injurious effects. Besides this, a large
quantity ofsaliva is thrown from the mouth, and
the storrinclus thus deprived of that juice which
is essential to .-i. healtliy digestion.

The task woiuld be endless, to attempt on enu-
meration of the diseases occasioned by the use of
tobacco: but tht; catalogiic would he fearful

though the number of its supporters has been
small. and it has met with many obstacles to up

)‘r‘i‘:’inl‘ully. rind its influences is of the most saluta-
ry kind. The pleasure which we derive from
this view is enhanced, when we consider that the
wortiiiést, wisest, and most active of our Cll,lZ“.llS,
are combining their efforts to avert the tl-.'sol:1-
tion which has tlirmtcrieil to overtake us. And
no good man. who looks back.:ind sees the bone-
tits which have accrued from them to individuals.
and to society, can withstand mi instinctive wil

lingness to do his utmost to further their pro-
gross.

These efforts are mainly directed towards sup-
pressing lritompcrance in the use of spirituous
liquors, their is no evil in our land which calls
rncre loudly upon the commuriity f-r relief. But
while this merits and obtains our warmr:st atten-

larly to the common use of Tobacco. in the ya-
rious forms of smoking, chewing and snullirig. i

by kind Providence for our enjoyment, in which
it. is proper we should occasionally indulge,
though they may not appear absolutely necessary
to our existence. Tea and coffee are two wliolc-
some beverages, not ncccssary_ for human
subsistence, but administering much to our com-
fort, and, if used properly, novor injurious. Be-
sides, I am far from thinking a good cause is to
be promoted by dividing public attention among
many objects at one time. .,Public excite-
ment always aims at accomplishing a single ob-

ject at once, and when a new one is presented,
the excitement is drawn from that upon which it
had been previously fastened. Still, the two evils
which have been mentioned, are so similar in
their nature and in their consequences, that they
well deserve a siniiiltancous attention. The

nieans, also, which are employing most effectu-
ally in suppressing the one, will be found the best
‘for suppressing the other.

' It was not the intended object of this commu-
‘rffcation, to prove that the injuries arising from
‘the use of tcbacco are as numerniis or us great

dulgcs his much depraved appetite, he as con- '
stantly draws upon the principle of life,
slowly, but surely, hastens the period of his ex-
istence. The effects oftrhacco are not so imme-
diate and visible as those of ardent spirits, but
they are not the less permanent and deadly.

On account of its extensive use among all
classes of people, and its frequent connection
with other practices wli ch are prejudicial to
health, it is sometimes diflicult/to determine what
share of the ill health sliuuld be imputed to its
use. All druiikziitls use tobacco, probably, with
few exceptions.
.vlietlicr the ill health which such usually suffer,
~.-liould be attributed more to the spirits, than to
the tobacco which they are constantly consum-
ing. Many, doubtless, have been accused of
sacrificiiig their health to the intoxicating bowl,
when in fact it was principally owing to a prac-
rice to which almost the whole world gives con-

~cnt.
Ask the physician ivlictlicr tobacco is necessa-

ry for health, and he will tell you, “No: it injures

it.” If this is not his answer, it will be because

he loves it himself. But it is no proof that it is

liciieficial or liarinlcss to health, because many

pliysiciaiis are in the habitual use of it. Physi-

cians are liable to CIT in many things. Many

recommend the use of ardent spirits for the pre -

servation of health, and many of them drink it

to their own destruction.

Users of tobacco, like users of rum, have what

they consider the iriost potent reasons for using

it, and generally they think it indi.=.ptnsable for
their health. Nine-tenths of all who chew and
smoke it, if questioned upon this subject,
will tell you they commenced taking it upon
the advice of some old Doctor, whose name
the will give you, because they were 'jaundery,'
‘Jzzicky,’ ‘too gross,’ ‘had a watery stomach,‘ or
‘rotten teeth’. Furthermore, they will claim
that is of the greatest service to them, and that
they would certainly. die without "it. But these
are whimsical arguments, and no more worthy of
regard, than those employed by the advocate for
drunkenness. They only show how natural and
easy it is, for men to invent excuses for all their
favorite follies and faults.

Tobacco not only rubs the body of the health
and vigor whicli properly belong to it, but from
its direct ‘operation upon the brain, it weakens
the energy of the riiiod. It is not difficult to
conceive why so powerful a narcotic, directing
its action at once upon the nervous system.

the mental faculties. A man only confessesliini-

qiiaintcd with a man, whose intellectual endow-
ments would do honor to any station, and has ac-
cumnlzited a handsome estate; but whose habits,
of late, giveuneiring premonition to his friends
of a mournful result. This man informed me,
that ll was the fatal thirst occasioned by smoking
his scgar in fasliionablezsocicty, that had brougnt
him into his present wretched and miserable cori-
VVilhont any desire for ardent spirit, he
first sipped a little gin and water, to allay the
disagreeable sensation brought on by smoking.
as water was altogether too insipid to answer the
purpose. Thus he went on from year to yeari
increasing his stimulus from one degree to ano-
tlicr. until he lost all control over himself, and
he now stands as a beacon, warning others to
avoid the same road to destruction.

These are some of the evils consequent upon
using tobacco, and a minute examination would
lead to the discovery of many more. \Vith such
a relinuc of evils, a benevolent counnuttity should
no longer remain inattentive to the subject. It
becomes every good man to discontinue and dis-
countenance ll‘) use. There is no natural fond.
ncss for its tustc. more than for the most 0II'Ul’l3'tro
substances that can be eaten. The young com-
nicnce taliizig it in imitation of the older, and at
last, long-continued habit forms an artificial ap-
petite for it., which becomes resistlcss. ,Faslrion
should not favor it, and then the practice of using
tobacco would be considered loathsome and de-
basing. But a rriari who wages war against it,
will find himself obliged to conduct his warfare
alone. These, from whom he would must expect
support in contending for a good cause, he wil
sce arrayed in formidable hosts against him.
Priests, lawyers and pliysioiaus, men whose sta-
tions should make them the brightest patterns ol
temperance and decency, will occupytlie fore-
most ranks; and he will see nicrchaiits, farmers,
and rncclianics, the rich and the poor, and all the
high 61. the low, in this world ready to fight in de-
{encc of this the dearest; of their rights. He will
find to his utter dismay, that he has pitched bat-
tle with almost the whole word. and that, unfit-
