ss, paleness
of the countenance, languor, emaciation, aversion to exercise,
lowness of spirits, palpitations, disturbed sleep; in short, all
the symptoms which characterize dyspepsia of the worst stamp. He was
well nigh unfitted for any kind of business, and his very existence
began to be miserably burdensome.

"At last, being advised to abandon the use of tobacco in all its
forms, and being fully persuaded that he either must relinquish
it voluntarily, or that death would soon compel him to do it, 'he
summoned all his resolution for the fearful exigency, and after a
long and desperate struggle, obtained the victory.' 'All the
inconvenience' he experienced, 'was a few sleepless nights, and an
incessant hankering after the accustomed fascinating influence of the
cigar and cud.'

"In a few days a manifest improvement in health was apparent, his
appetite and strength returned, his sleep became more sound and
refreshing, and he directly found himself in the enjoyment of better
health than he had possessed at any time during ten years of vile
submission to a depraved and unnatural appetite.

"After abstaining from it about two months, he again, by way of
experiment, returned to the cud, cigar, and pipe; and but a few
days were requisite to recall all his former dyspeptic symptoms.
He again relinquished the habit, under the full conviction that
tobacco was the sole cause of his illness, and he firmly resolved
never to make further use of it."

After recovering a second time from the effects of his poison, this
gentleman assured me that, at times, his feelings had bordered on those
of mental derangement; he thought every body hated him; and he in turn
hated every body. He had often, after lying awake for several hours in
the night, under the most distressing forebodings, arisen, smoked his
pipe to procure a temporary alleviation of his sufferings, in fitful and
half delirious slumbers. He even thought of suicide, but was deterred
by the dread of an hereafter. In a few weeks after relinquishing the
indulgence, all these feelings were gone; and when I last saw him, about
two years, I believe, after quitting his tobacco, he was in fine health
and spirits.

The following letter from Dr. Moore describes his own case.

"_Wells, (Me.) April 10, 1833._

"DEAR SIR,--
