Four-Year-Old Victim in North Carolina Has Developed Mania for Tobacco. •V ” Greenville, N. C.—Recovering from an attack of infantile paralysis, Charlie Edwards, the four-year-old son of Mr and Mrs. E. Z. Edwards, has developed an unusual liking for tobacco. His parents recently brought the boy to Newftern, N, C., for treatment, but physicians are baffled as to how they can cure his taste for tobacco until he is fully recovered from the paralysis stroke.
