It has come to recognise that tobacco, for instance, is a great solace in times of worry, and for many is a direct aid to mental effort and concentration.’ ; I’he doctor, however, is keenly alive to the danger from excess of nicotine in tobacco. “Pure nicotine,” he states, “like strychnine and arsenic^ is now known to be a deadly poison.” It is.
