Oh! I say, old chap, surely young James can have a quick puff for his croup? The lad's only 3 months shy of his 4th birthday but, really, I think it would do him the world of good to start smoking, seeing as his mother is consumptive and he's fought off Rheumatic Fever.....
Personally I prefer Laudanum for the Consumption or Croup or in fact most childhood illnesses. It may not necessarily cure them - but it certainly silences the Children's complaints.

That's great. I agree it's wrong for under sixes to smoke cigarettes, they should be restricted to the occasional cigar.
