Tobacco reform musings and a humorous family tale
A reader’s letter in Journal Ma. Kertin argues against tobacco use citing moral and health concerns. It includes vivid opinions on smoking in public, warnings to young men, and references to physicians. The rest recalls an African desert water method, a London girl Sarah Roberts, plus a Brooklyn baby prank with a policemen’s intervention, all in a flowing 1858 newspaper miscellany style.
