Abstract:
Told from the viewpoint of a young boy, the church-goers of a town usually go and pray at the bedside of a dying person until they pass. In this particular case, however, the man who lay in the sickbed was not prayed over because people thought of him as a bad man for drinking and not attending church.

Abstract:
The individual tale which recounts the origin of tobacco is linked with one of two groups of origin narratives: either myths handed down by tribal sages who preserved lore among American Indians, or myths and legends found in the lore and literature of European and Asiatic peoples who became acquainted with tobacco subsequent to discoveries of the 16th-century. This article surveys origin narratives which sprang up among people introduced to tobacco after the discovery of America.

Abstract:
Between the introduction of the potato into Great Britain and the \"Potato Scare\" of World War One, this new-world plant made history challenged for its novelty only by the history of tobacco. Either fact or fiction associated with potatoes is, in itself, a fascinating chapter in modern history.

Abstract:
Although most are aware of current anxiety aroused by the question as to tobacco and health, many may not know that the controversy over the effects of tobacco has flared up periodically during the past four hundred years. Physicians, kings, preachers, laymen, and even popes have taken their stand on the subject. All of them have spoke, pro or con, on the score of what tobacco does for or against the consumer.
