McGov-orn- of Hoboken, -Nr.t!rhas beeff conducting con-ducting to rid men and boys of the cigarette smoking habit, resulted last night in 300 men and boys submitting to the coure. After discussing the cigarette subject sub-ject with two -physicians, of the Hoboken Ho-boken board of education staff, the recorder decided, to Invite all cigarette cigar-ette smokers to his court room to be "cured." Present last night were mothers of small boys who had becomo addicted to the cigarette, wives of other smokers smo-kers and sweethearts of young men who also used them. It is said that since the movement began several young men's fiancees have refused to be married unless their fiancees gave up smoking cigarettes, and this accounts ac-counts for a large number of those who sought the cure, which consists of swabbing the throat with nitrate of silvor. . The treatment is supposed to affect the mouth of the smoker so that it will be misery for him to smoke again. |
