WOMEN SMOKERS WARNED
EFFECT ON COMPLEXIONS, SURGEON’S QUESTIONS. ( LONDON, November 15. “God help you and us if you take men as your god,” said Sir James Cantlie, the famous surgeon, impressing tho evil's of smoking upon an audience of women at tho Institute of Hygiene. . "I thought you despised men,” he continued; “ but it seems to me that there is nothing men do that you do not wish to imitate. I wish to ask the young women two questions: Do you smoke when alone in your room, or only in order to show off? Do you smoke solely to imitate men smokers?
“Smoking,” said Sir James, “produces dusky complexions.” Ho advised all smokers to rest between smokes, and always smoko tho same amount of tobacco daily, “in order to maintain tho same degree of poisoning.” He concluded by asserting that at railway terminals the last people through the barrier were there who had been smoking in tho train.
