I In England dates from tne war in me
Crimea. It frequently happened that
because of their inability to procure
cigars and smoking tobacco the British
officers were forced to have recourse to
the cigarettes of their Turkish allies. They

England that the manufacture of ciga
rettes began.

owes It. earliest adoption. Until then few
persons used tobacco in sny form and It
was supposed to be a filthy and shameful
practice. Then came the plague and It
was soon noticed that the plague did mt

Within a few months every one who was
