“In mid-Victorian days,” writes Dr. Ernest Chatemore, in a medical journal. ‘ ‘ doctors seemed to regard smoking with less favour than does the modern practitioner who, while recognising that tobacco may sometimes prove highly injurious, nevertheless contends that when this happens the smoker is generally himself to blame for failing to exercise more discrimination in his choice of brands. Impure tobacco, i.e., tobacco with a high nicotine content, is certainly to be avoided, but if really good it may benefit the smoker, for it dispels worry and may prove very helpful in assisting mental effort.” But really' pure tobacco is not so common as may bo supposed.
