Pp. 390. 1801. The Bishop of Oxford is a very High Church- Matt, and it - generally regarded' as deoidedly Puseyistic. On this account everything coming from him is looked upon with .some degree; of suspicion. 'But the'" Addresses " before us are 'free to a degree that we did not anticipate, of the erroneous toadencies that have been attributed to him, While they abound far above our expec tations' in precious Gospel truths. ' When he speaks of the Church and the Sacraments, as a matter of cdurse his peculiarities are distinctly visible, yet we could wish that ,the addresses on " The Inward Call;" " The Glory of God ; "Diligence in Prayer;" and "Diligence in the. `Stu*Of thelHoly ;Scriptures," would be -read and pondered by every minister, and by every candidate for the ministry in our Church.

This is a lively,.graphic, and touching narra tive in which the writer shows the effect of Divine :chastisement, upon a young, ingenuous, and gifted, but at the same time perverse, proud and passionate girl, in preparing her heart to receive the gracious leaven of the Gospel. It may be read with profit, not only by the young, but also by those of mature years. TRUST IN GOD; or, THREE DAYS IN THE LIFE OF ,GELLERT. New-York: Robert Carter 4- Pittsburgh: Robert S.

Tobacco Discussion at the British ASsociation for theProm6- lion of Social Science, held in l Glasgow last Sep tetiber, on the Influence of Tobacco Smoking on Public Health.- Sir CHARLES HASTINGS, M. D. D. C. L., read the following paper on this subject : " theoprogress of this Association for the Advancement of Social Science, its co relation with sanitary science has 'been con spicuous, and must ever remain , so. The truth is, that preventive medicine is of the highestimportance in connexion 'with ad vancing civilization. Mr. Cowper's mas terly address at the Congress last year was, well calculated to awaken an interest in the public mind on this subject. There can be no, doubt that many habits and customs ex- ist in society highly prejudicaro health, and that, the alteration of them would tend to the prolongation of life. This Association Will well perform its duty byleadingthe public mind, on these matters, in the right direction. It is notorious that many active agents are in daily use by the community which act deleteriously on the system, .and produce, in various ways, injurious conse quences. It may be well considered one of the functions of this enlightened body . to point out the evil tendency of these agents, and thus induce persons to study for them selves the physiological action of such• sub -stances, by which a more correct apprecia tion of their action will be .realised. I may; ~mention as 'agents more or less poisonous in •their tendency, which are, neverthelesai *atensively'consumed in all civilized coun- tries, tobacco, opium, and alcohblrr'a tea and coffee may, though in a much less degree; be considered so. lam not about to enter into the arena of di.sputation on these active agents. There is doubtless great difference of opinion in the medical profession on these questions. But all will admit that .they arc potent agents,. and that it-is desirable for the public good that they should be used discreetly. The tobacco question is the one to which I shall now draw your attention. Few will be disposed to denylhat at the present time tobacco is extensively consumed by all classes of the community. Still fewer will be disposed to deriy that it is a very active narcotic agent, that its empyreumatic oil acts most deleteriously on the 'nervous system, and, in a concentrated form, death speedily en sues *mil it. . Professor Johnstone, of Dur ham, as the result of his analysis, states that 'the chemical constituents of tobacco are three in number—a volatile oil, a vola- tile alkali, and an empyreuroatic oil. The volatile oil - has the odor of tobacco, and possesses a bitter taste. On the mouth and throat it produces a sensa tion similar to that caused by tobac co smoke.: When applied to the nose it occasions sneezing, and wbe,n taken inter nally it gives rise to giddiness, nausea, and 'an inclination to vomit. The volatile alkali has the odor of tobacco, au acrid, burning, long-continuing tobacco taste, and possesses narcotic and very poisonous qual ities. In this latter respect it is scarcely inferior to prussic acid, a single drop be ing sufficient to kill a clog. Its vapour is so irritating, that it is difficult to breath in a room in which a single drop has been evap orated. A hundred pounds of the dry 'to bacco leaf yield about seven -pounds of !Ideals. In smoking a hundred grains of tobacco, :therefore, say a quarter of an'ounce, there may be drawn . into the month ,two grains' or' more*.ef One 'of the most subtle of all known poisons. The empyreumatic oil is acrid and disagreeable to the taste, nar cotic and poisonous. One drop applied to the tongue of .a cat brought on convulsions, stain two minutes occasioned death. The Hottentots are said to kill snakes by put ting a drop of it on their tongues. Under its influence, the reptiles die as instantane ously as if killed by an electric shock. It appears to act nearly in the same way as prussic acid. Experience proves that a large proportion of those who smoke or chew tobacco, do so under the conviction that it is always innocuous in its effects, and often beneficial. Now this is a mistake which the every-day observation of medical practitioners can attest. For, amongst the andwho consult us for various nervous and stomach complaints, it will be found that tobacco smokers form a large propor tion. Indeed, we find, unexpectedly some times, on inquiry, that the habit of smoking is the source of very distressing ailments which immediately or gradually subside on omitting the use of this drug. It, is griev ous to observe that this habit is prevail ing among young people, upon whom its effects are most likely to be prejudical.' Strikingly illustrative of this position is the fact, which has been very recently made public, that in the competitive examina tions to which young persons are submitted in the military schools of France, the smok ers of tobacco occupy the lowest place. I may also be permitted to state that one of the most severe cases Of epilepsy I ever saw, arose in a boy of twelve years of age, who had been for, two years a tobacco smoker, which habit he continued after the disease attacked him, and it was in vain that rem e.dies were applied so long as the habit was continued ; but after it became known that he pursued this pernicious practice, -and he was preiented continuing it, he speedily recovered; and has been since kept in good health. We shall be no doubt told that thou. sands pursue this practice without pro ducing epilepsy, and this is true ; but how many of those thousands suffer considerable inconvenience and derangement of the functions of the nervous and digestive sys tem, without tracing them to their true or igin ! If this be so, how important it is that this great Association should dissemi nate sound views with respect to the action of tobacco on the system, and the open dec laration of such a Congress as this that this drug should be used with caution, and not indiscriniinately, would not sail to do some good ! This Association cannot interfere with individual actions. It cannot venture to give precepts as to diet and regimen. This belongs to the medical .practitioner; but how feeble is his voice, unless the per son asking it is bowed down by disease and suffering. "But looking at this question in a sanitary point of view, this Congress may point to the - fact that the daily use of tobacco is not a negative thing. According to the -laws which govern the human system it is an agent from which decided results are pro duced, and therefore the community should be on their guard. An admonition from such a-body will come•with ten-fold'greater effect than from a body of medical practi tioners whose monitions find their way only among the sick and those needing, medical care, while we feel that what is done here will permeate the community at large, and will find its way to those who are %neon sciously poisoning themselves by an- agent of Whose injurious effects they are ignorant. Sir Benjamin Brodie, in his admirable let ter, published extensively in the newspa pers, in a very sensible manner points out the effects of this agent. He says : "The effects of this habit are in deed various, the difference depending Oil differences of constitution and difference in the mode of life otherwise. But, from the best observations which I have been able to make on the,sub ject, I am led to believe that there are very few who do not suffer harm from it to greater or less extent. The earliest symp toms are manifested in the derangement of the nervous system. A large •proportion of habitual smokers • are rendered lazy and listless, indisposed to bodily, and incapable of much mental, exertion. Others suffer from depression of the spirits, amounting to hypochondriasis, which smoking relieves for a time, but adds to the evil afterwards. Occasionally there is .a general nervous ex citability, which,, though very much less in degree, partakes of the nature of delirium tremens in drunkards.' I have known many individuals to suffer from severe ner vous pains, sometimes in one, sometimes in another, part, of the body.", - The—habit of using tobacco - is - doubt sometimes pursued without the prac tice being found to be detrimental by -the persons themselves, owing:to the fact that, by its physiological action, it dulls sensi bility, and relieves uneasy sensations, and . with some it' would. appear to assist diges tion when taken after a meal, but there is much deception in this, and when we come to examine those cases, it will usually be found that sonic. injurious effect ,is being unconsciously produced: In truth it is in this very circumstance that the danger of the practice' consists, for it: is evident that the people are indiscriminately using a poisonous agent, capable of producing plea surable sensations, but productive in the end of very baneful consequences. How is this efil to 'be averted ? One means will be, extensively circulating the knowledge of the fact, that serious injury is being caused in the community by to bacco smoking, and 'the action of this As sociation may effect this to a considerable degrec,, by widely disseminating correct views -of the effects 'of ;tobacco •on the sys tem, and thus awakening people to a sense of the . danger. The various institutions that are now formed and supported for the purpose •of oliffasing • 'useful- 'knowledge among - ,the laboring classes, ought to, be available to assist -in !this -work, if their managers could be ,made , awake . to the im portance of the- question ;'but "I fear, in Pp 93 PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.---SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 18607 many instances, these. Societies are not aware of the baneful action of tobacco on the frame. If they were smoking' rooms would not form a part of the'establishment, whereby the onward progress of ,civilization is proposed to be insured. It is a sad re flection that it should be considered neces tary to insure the attendance of members as a Society, whose professed object is to advocate civilization, by diffusing art and, science, that there should be the means supplied for indulging in the evil of smoking, as in the clubs of the aristocracy. This Association may at any rate raise a warning voice . against such erroneous pro ceedings, which must doubtless tend to enervate our population, and eventually to produce a degenerate race. Conclusions— That the effects of tobacco-smoking are chiefly dependent upon an empyreumatic. volatile oil, and other active principles, whose direct tendency is to act injuriously on the nervous system and digestive organs; that tobacco is extensively consumed by the community, and its use ought to be discour aged ;- that this Association emphatically records its conviction that Societies. formed for the.purpose of promoting useful knowl edge among the working-classes should on no account provide smoking-rooms :for the members." Mr. Thomas Reynolds, Secretary to the British Anti-Tobacco Society, made some observations approving of the views enun ciated in the foregoing paper, and spoke strongly in condemnation of the use of to bacco. Ile defied any smoker to say that he had continued the baneful practice of smoking for five years without feeling bad effects from it; and it was impossible for a smoker to confine the bad effects of the prac tice to his own body. He denounced• the practice as destructive and demoralizing in the extreme: r V Dr. Pritchard vindicated the use of to bacco. The practice of, smoking be had' felt to. be ,universal, and 'therefore must have some virtue. In the Arctic regions he had found it gave comfort and solace to the sailor, when nothing else could. He , had heard eminent literary men say that they could not sit down to write an article without first a few minutes devoted, to smoking. (Laughter.) In the South Sea Islands, next to a bit of vermilion, noth ing given to a native could;make him feel more happy than a bit of negro-heady tobacco--(great laughter)--and :it was well known that in the same country--there was a most prolific population. (Continued laughter.) He strongly condemned the use of tobacco by juveniles, however. Dr. Lankester thought the question they were now discussing .was the influence at the use of tobacco on the public health; and, in dealing with it, they should, try. to ,be as scientific as possible, and not by one man getting up and giving , Itis!opinion as to Whether smoking was good or otherwise. It was admitted that tobacco did contain a, poison, but many articles contained poison which were useful if properly taken. He referred to a notice which appeared in the papers the other day of the students of a university who did not use tobacco carry ing off all the prizes• from those 'Vile , did. It was the abuse of any article, however, they had to deal with, and if they were to put away from them everything that con tained a poison, they would put away altogether alcohol, coffee, tea, and many other articles which people might continue to take for a long time without feeling any bad effects from them. He could not agree with, gentlemen, both in and out of his own profession, who absolutely condemned the practice of smoking, for it conveyed a, certain amount of pleasure to him who used it, and deprive him - of • this, he would feel the want of that pleasure,.and life be ing made up of, sensation, it was to be ex pected that people were not to deny , them selves certain pleasures merely because a' complaint was raised that an abuse of a practise produced..bad results. • Dr. Morton urged that, if the use of tobacco in many measures was bad, it must be to a corresponding extent bad for - the person• who used it. Dr. Easton said :-L--This was a, question which could only be settled by facts. He had never used tobacco without feeling bad effects, from it. The Germans, however, were much addicted to smoking, and still that country had produced some , of the most profound men--the greatest thinkers in the world. But these people, of course, only used tobacco and did not abuse it. Dr. Seyton had smoked daily for twenty three years, and Dr., Lankester, who had known him for twenty-one years, would be able to say whether be was much altered in appearance for4he worse. Dr. Lankester—On the contrary, you have improved very much. (Great laugh ter.) Dr. Seyton continued to say that he had used tobacco, but, not abused it, and he never had smoked above two cigars a day. But he had not began to smoke till lie was twenty-five years of age. He strongly, however, condemned the use of tobaccolay juveniles, on whose constitutions it was most pernicious. He had a son twenty years of age, and he had tried to convince him of the evil of smoking, and was at last obliged to' exacta promise from him, seeing he was destroying himself, to aban don the practice. Mr. Reynolds said, , tliat while coffee, tea, and other articles containing poison were taken diluted with water, tobacco was taken undiluted. ,* Sir Charles Hastings said his paper was a paper of facts of the most strong, nature, showing that tobacco was a poison that was most destructive to life. He urged that there was nothing they should so strongly discourage among their sons as the use of tobacco. There certainly were a great many philosophers in Germany, 'but'-there were a great' many dreamy philosophers there, and :thetobacco smoking might have something to do with that dreaminess-. (Laughter.) . • Mr. Chadwick said that the conclusion come to in Germany was .that the use of tobacco in that country, was bad, „and tel ling Prejudicially in 41iorteninglife: Paper Comfortables.
