EFFECTS OF TOBACCO.
INTERESTING EXPERIMENTS ON AMERICAN SMOKERS. The American Government, through its chemist, Professor Wiley, will begin experiments in the autumn with eighteen men to determine the effects of tobacco on the heart, the lungs, the digestive organs, and the human system generally. During the first month of the experiments the men will not use tobacco in any form. Then they will be divided into three squads — namely, smokers, chewers, and snuffer-s. They will begin with a gradual use of tobacco and finally bs permitted to indulge to the fullest extent. The smokers will have all kinds of cigars, cigarettes and pipes; the chewers all kinds of chewing tobacco, and the snuffers will J>e equally well treated. During the last month of the , experiments the men will have so tobacco. Professor Wiley has had many applications from persons desiring to be experimental subjects. The recent Government experiments with twelve men who took borax and boracic acid in their food are said to show that most of the subjects suffered no ill effects. The borax experiments lasted seven months.
