| "Strive; for the grasp of the destroyer is upon you, and if you be not |
| wrenched away, it will palsy you and crush you. Strive for the foe has |
| seized upon your vitals: he holds possession of your Fort and renders |
| your will a thing to be controled instead of a controling power. It |
| chains the intellect and bids defiance to your better judgment. Strive |
| like one who knows he has grappled with Death and the victory must be |
| won or self be lost!" |
| |
| TOBACCO should never be mentioned except as a poison, one of the most |
| active and fatal of poisons; it is the only herb known to possess two |
| active deadly poisons, NICOTINA and NICOTIANIN: It is really so fatal |
| that doctors seldom administer it, and never internally. For an over |
| dose of Opium, Arsenic, or Strychnine, when taken in time, there is a |
| cure, but for an over dose of tobacco there is none; its effect on the |
| system is Paleness, Nausea, Giddiness, Lessening of the heart's action,|
| Vomiting, Purging, Cold-sweating, and utter Prostration, such as no |
| other poison can induce, then death! Its evils are numerous we will |
| notice a few as follows. |

| 1. It impregnates the whole system with two of the most fatal poisons, |
| NICOTINA, and NICOTIANIN.
