Those annoying and unacconntablê lapses of memory experienced when oryB is unable to recollect some well known word or the name of some perfectly familiar friend are atfeributed by a French physiologist to the excessive use of tobacco. This gentleman has observed that aphasia and amnesia are at present almost unknowu among the gentier sex. On the other hand, he has nearly invariably fotind these afllictions common in men who are habitually heavy smokers, while in cases where they are only of rare occurrence he has f requently known the extraordinary lapse to have been preceded by an extra dose of the fragrant weed. It is comforting, however, to be assured by the same authority that a moderate use of pipe or cigar is in no way harmful to the memory. -
