 of smoking might receive that great and salutary check, 

 from motives of self-interest, which admonition and

 have failed to effect : and the detection, by Mr. Ericii::en, 

 of the mixture of so many deleterious and poisonous 

 ingredients in the manufacture of snuff, it is to be ex- 

 pected, may, in like manner, operate upon the selfish feel- 

 ings of the snuffer, and powerfully^Tic? to root out }j^A 

 disgusting habit.
