We have known men who died from the use of tobacco, and others who met a like fate from whisky, who were never fully in the state denominated drunk.
Men may earn a hobnail liver and dropsy by the constant, steady use of alcoholic drink taken systematically, so as always to keep within the limits of intoxication; or they may, in the same way, get a diabetes or Bright's disease.
Abundant testimony in regard to the effects of tobacco in creating an appetite for strong drink has been given by the inmates of the Franklin Home.

In a few exceptional cases the use of tobacco does not appear to create any sense of thirst; and this is specially the case with the smokers who do not spit when smoking.

Some men seem to be free from any alcoholic craving when using tobacco, and say that when they commence to drink they give up the drug for the time being.

These are exceptional cases, for excess in drinking generally leads to an excess in the use of tobacco, often to double the amount ordinarily employed.

We have often been told by moderate drinkers, that they frequently FELT A DESIRE FOR A LITTLE WHISKY AFTER A SMOKE, and they have confessed that they were only saved from a habit of drinking to excess by the fact that they had no innate fondness for alcoholic stimulation.
