We read Brief Abstract of the Vir- toes of the American Tobacco Plant" published in 1788, that at first these persons only used tobacco as a deodorizer, "little thinking that what they used for momentary relief lvOuld prove a constant Pr'Oventive. Wlran flip pia uR was hep ily •stay- ed, the vf]`tues of tobacco ],ogee to investigated ; it was found that those persons who plentifully used it either fn smolciug or snuiTing; had most wonderfully escaped the dire contagion for though they visited the chambers of the • mol., attended the funerals of cartloads at a time, unexpectedly avoided the in- feetion:" The writer even goes so far as to advance the theory that since Europe took to smoking, epi- demise had greatly decreased and we find hum stating the belief that dealers in tobacco were secure from Plague infection, -Yet he can assign no reason why tobacco should prove so valuable as a disinfectant except in so far as it fortifies the head against "exhalations." • Workmen in tobacco factories are often cited as being immune from cholera and other epidemics. It Is interesting to trace this belief baok. it probmibly received its first impetus in Toulouse, where shortly before the Revolution- the workmen in the State tobacco factory are said to have remained •Immune dor- Mg a deadly epidemic of suette (swearing sickness).
