FROM the medical profession comes a warning to smokers. If you wish to avoid tobacco cancer don’t smoke fast. After careful observation it has been practically determined that this form of cancer is caused by.the irri- tation resulting from the heat of the cigar or pipe. Men who smoke long Stemmed pipes, it is said, do not have cancer, no matter how much they smoke, while those who indulge in cigars or short stemmed pipes are af- flicted by this malignant growth. Tobacco cancer caused the death of General Grant. He was an inveterate smoker, and he smoked very fast. At the battle of Shiloh he is said to have consumed fifty cigars. In smoking a large number of cigars in a short time the tongue is irritated by the excessive heat, and in time cancer is the result.
