are very handy to have around the

with
Therp has been quite
the last little while of
of smoking and the
whether the smoking habit is one of
the causes of cancer of the lungs.
Nobody seems to have decided if this
ig the case or not, and investigations
are under way at the moment in an
attempt to determine whether there is
any truth in the charge.
In the meantime if you think you
would like to stop smoking there's a
preparation on the market called the
Ozotron Method, which is designed
to give you aid and comfort while
you’re battling the tobacco habit. It’s
available at either Kerr’s or
bons drug stores.
Based on tablets which
take the place of tobacco, the
Method combines psychology and rou
tine in a ten-day effort which should
be pretty effective, if you follow the
rules and directions faithfully. When
you purchase the tablets you get a
little book of instructions explaining
how the system works.
The booklet starts off with a piece
on the evils of smoking, demonstrat
ing pretty clearly what is liable to
happen to you if you are a heavy
smoker and continue to be one. Fol
lowing this is an analysis of the smok
ing habit, showing how much of
everyday smoking is dup to “auto
matic reflex”,
* According to the pamphlet, Ozotron
is not a “wonder drug” which will
automatically cure you of the smok
ing habit. Not only do you have to
take the tablets, but to get full bene
fit of them you must follow the pro
cedure laid down in the instructions.
This is a fairly simple matter, but
you have to use a certain amount of
self-control, and, probably the most
important factor, you must want to
quit smoking and be determined that
you will.
Besides the plan for quitting smok
ing altogether, there is an alternative
plan for reducing the amount you
smoke, which might be of help to
those who think they smoke too much
but don’t want to quit altogether.
All in all the Ozotron Method will
probably be of help to anyone who has
a genuine desire to break the smoking
habit.

for a meeting, it should be prepared
well in advance. Then in cp.se they
cannot attend, the paper could be
sent for someone else to read. 1

paper, created a little diversion, some
even being clippings frbm our local
paper.
