Thomas A. EdisonThe injurious agent in cigarettes comes principally from the burning paper wrapper. The substance thereby formed is called "acrolein."

It is a terrible situation when the Government, to increase the national wealth, must go into debt and submit to ruinous interest charges at the hands of men who control the fictitious values of gold.
