On the Circulatory Organs.
The circulation of the blood is impeded by this worse than fatal narcotic. It is worse than fatal, because of its fascination. The nutrient portions of the food have been traced to the heart through the thoracic duct, where begins what is called the circulatory process.
On the Heart - This is the great propelling power of the blood and throws out the impure blood to be purified, and, receiving it back, throws it out again purified to the whole system, for its strength and growth. Now, if this organ does not have the proper materials to work upon, it will itself be injured and not do its work thoroughly. In some cases the Tobacco-user finds the pulsations of the heart slow, feeble and irregular, and in other cases rapid and violent.
