A HINT TO SMOKERS.
A physician of note asserts that smoking has a worse effect on most people in winter than in summer, and he advises all smokers who find their health and mental faculties impaired in winter for no apparent reason to accept tobacco as the explanation, and to cut down their smoking during the colder months. Tobacco, he says, is a very powerful drug, and cannot be cansumed in large quantities without producing a certain effect on the heart. It must be remembered that during the winter the heart has a great deal more work to do than in summer, for the cold causes the blood vessels to become small and pinched. It is thus less able to bear the extra strain put upon it by
smoking
