Sometimes, in violent spasmodic colic, |
| or strangulation of the bowels, or spasmodic croup, tobacco is used |
| externally as a poultice, and if you are not very careful, it will |
| kill your patient even in this form. Many a colt and calf has been |
| killed by rubbing them with tobacco juice to kill the lice. Tobacco is |
| death to all kinds of parasitical vermin; it will kill the most |
| venomous reptiles very quick. Many children have been killed by the |
| application of tobacco for lice titter sores &c. Dr. Mussey tells of |
| a woman that rubbed a little tobacco juice on a ring worm, not larger |
| than a 25 cts. on her little girl's face; and if a physician had not |
| been quickly summoned the child would have died. He tells of a father |
| who killed his son by putting tobacco spit on a sore on his head. You |
| would do well to read what various medical men have written on the |
| subject. Every other poison vegetable is content with one poison; but |
| tobacco has two of the most deadly poisons in the vegetable kingdom. |
| This is no scare-crow put up to frighten you Tobacco Eaters; if you |
| don't believe me just examine a vegetable chemistry, and to convince |
| your self more thoroughly, just drop one drop of nicotina or |
| nicotianin on the tongue of a Cat or a Dog, that you don't wish to |
| kill by the tedious method or shooting or drowning, and see what the |
| effect will be.
