Cigarettes, 50 a Day, Kill.

Braddock, Pa. —Ernest Ferrin, a barber, died at Donora from the effects, physicians say, of smoking too many cigarettes. Ten years ago Ferrin began and smoked 50 a day, or 182,500 cigarettes in the ten years. Just before he breathed his’last today he asked for a cigarette. One was given to him, and as he threw away the “butt" he sank back on his pillow and died. X
