TOBACCO should never be mentioned exbept a
poison, one of the most active and fatal of poisons; it
tae only herb known to possess two:sctive deadly poitons,
NICOTINA and NIGOTIANIN: It is realy so fatal that doctors
seldom administer it, and never internally; For in over
sdose of Opium, Arsenic, or Strychnine, when taken in
time, there is a cure, but for an over dose of tobacco
there is none; its affect on the system is Paleness, Nwsea,
Giddiness, Lessening tof the heart's action, Vomiting, Pur-_
gins, Cold-sweating, and utter Prostration, such as -ol
)other poison can induce, then death! Its evils are num.er-
ous we will notice a flewas fo4lows.
1. It impregnates the whole system with two of the
most fatal poisons, NICOTINA. and NICOTIANIN,
2. With either of which the system is subjected to
continuous repair, therefore Doctors seldom adviseone to
quit it. It is too much like taking bread aud butter from
their babe's.mouth'.
3. It enslaves a -man so that it requires a powerful exer-
stion to break its chaiRs and fetters to regairl the ir freedom
4. It causes dyspepsiaby spitting off the saliva that ought
to go to digest the-food aid th6 'digestive system and to
'regulate and heal the bowels.
5. When you breathe 'lhe smoke it produces asthma and
lays the foundation fo6 6 train of other fatal 'diseases.
6. In breathing the two poisons into the lungs often pro
ducea paralysis of the lungs and consumption.

Every doctor will tell you that he is more afraid to give
tobacco, even as an enema, than any other poison In thE,
Mtateria Medics: he never kives it by the stomach. Some-
times, in violent Sp3smodlc oolle, or strangulation" of the'
bv)wels, or spasmodic croup, tobacco Is used externally as
a poultice, and if you are not very careful, it will kill yourX
patient even in this form. Many a colt and calf has beeps
killed by rubbing them wJth tobacco juice to kill the licei.
Tobacco is death to all kind3 of parasitical vermin; it will
kill the most venomous reptiles very quick. Many children
hqve been killed by the application of tobacco for lice tit-
ter sores &c, Dr. Mussey tells of a woman that rubbed
Jlittle tobacco juice on a ring worm, not larger than a 25ets..
)ln her little girl's face; and if a physician h:4d not ba nD
'quickly summoned the child would have died . Hle tellso
,a father who killed his son by putting tobacco spit on a

;.nedical men have written on the subject. Every otberi
tooIison vegetable is content with one poison; but tobacce
',hs two of the most deadly poisons in the vegetable kinMr-)

t---- , D : _ 1lJ

The mind of man is the motiv power of the;
body. There is great sympathy existing between
the mind and body, whatever effects the body:
must of necessity effect the mind; versus. What
ever effects the mind is sure to effect the body.i
The body is the house that the man lives in,1
if the house is damaged in any way the man
proper which is the mind; through sympathy is
sure to suffer from such injuries.
The power of the mind over the body both in
disease and in health, is utterly beyond all the
modem scientific conceptions. The mind hasso
long bcen clogged and hindered by narcotics andt
over stimulents, that it yet remains in its infatn-
cy. Every hinderence prevents the growth and
development of the mind. ihe body may soon
attain to its greatest development, but the mind
never reaches its perfection in this sphere.
Age and experience fortifies and strengthens the
mind, they gives it greatness and power; every in.l
fluence possible should be braught to bare up-
on the intellect to improve the mind and ad
vance it.-The ages past have been more to hin-
der and to cramp the intellect, to hinder reasoi
and progress than to favor it. But it must be
understood now that mind is capable of getting
and bringing information from the ulter-etherial
worlds. Or of mind conversing with mind, even in
separate continents. -Without Telephone, Tele-
graph, or JJitch-craft. (Spiritualism.)
For trainning up a strong healthy powerf
intellect read the RULINGS OF NATURE.
Only to be had at the office of the GOSPEL lION!

MAN, KNOW THY-SELF.

All evil comes when man hath fell.
Fell from put ity, in grief,
To eat the vile tobacco kaf.
Know this my friend, a poisoned brain,
Can not a poisoned thought refrain.
A heart that beats with poisoned pulseL
Will any moral mind convulse.
Alcohol and Tobacco food,
To feed the mind with, is not good.
It carses one when e're he speaks,
To imitate the weeds and snakes.

From inind to minc from heart to iJeart.
