Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Anti-Tobacco It is a legal proverb that "Possession is nine points in- -the law." Judging by this standard, he must be a daring innovator who would venture to attack the well high universal habit of using tobacco, by chewing, smoking, or snuffing. We have only to pass through the streets of our cities and villages, and see the numerous shops devoted to the traffic, or witness the smokers of pipes, cigars, or cigarettes in public places, and on the routes of travel, - the uncleanliness of cars and steamers, - to be assured that if universality is a sufficient proof of the merit of any habit or practice, the use of the weed is established beyond the possibility of overthrow. But, on the other hand, in this age, - which tests everything, however settled in the usages or opinions of society, or supported by popular favor, and rejects whatever conflicts with truth and the welfare of mankind, - we are encouraged to submit even this widespread custom to the criterion of science and common-sense, not to say of moral principle.
