J.F. Gleditschen (Leipzig?) 1691 Contemp. vellum (191) pp., complete with the copperplate frontispiece, reproduced in Arents, depicting a group smoking pipes. Thick 12mo. "The author remarks that by the proper use of tobacco one may enjoy a long, gay, and healthy life. He had, he says, two reasons for composing this treatise: his sympathy for unhappy people and his desire to alleviate their distress by teaching them the proper use of an herb about which there has been much contradiction and enmity. He foresees that he will be censured for advising women to smoke, for this is an unheard of thing and one which has never been considered practicable...Good health is largely dependent on the proper circulation of the body fluids. Smoking kills the poisons which hamper and retard this circulation. Fresh air too, is necessary for the preservation of life, and tobacco acts as an antidote to the corruption brought about by smelly gutters, stagnant waters, and disease. Many people accustomed to smoking have given up the habit in the erroneous belief that it causes dryness and thinness. Tobacco alone has not the power to cure a deeply-rooted illness; all the good it might do can be thwarted by irregular living...An account is given of the many maladies tobacco will cure. It is observed this herb preserves the teeth and gums and that it has a most beneficial influence upon the digestive system...It is to be deplored that the taxes on tobacco are so high...Everyone should smoke in order to be happy. Tobacco is one of God's herbs; it induces tranquility of mind in lonely or unhappy moods."-- Arents 407, citing the 1690 Dutch edition. Wellcome, II, p. 133, & Krivatsy 13144, also cite that edition.
