I had thrown myself down by the fire prepared for the some old half hour of drowsy nicotine, to be followed by the accustomed heavy sleep, and the usual early rising to toil.

The poisonous nicotine, the active element of tobacco, exerts a destructive influence upon the stomach digestion, enfeebling the vigor of the muscular walls of that organ.

The nicotine of tobacco acts through the nerves that control the heart's action.

The effect produced upon the tender papillæ of the tongue by the nicotine-loaded juices and the acrid smoke tends to impair the delicate sensibility of the entire surface.

"In its action on the system nicotine is one of the most powerful poisons known.

Knowing that he was a great votary of the Goddess Nicotine, I gave him a few cigars to smoke on the way to Dover.

'Years ago, when, as I remember, we were at Balbec, I saw him one day make an almost tasteless preparation out of pure black nicotine, which in mere wanton lust he afterwards gave to some of the dwellers by the Caspian to drink.

Petheridge Jukesbury, president of the Society for the Suppression of Nicotine and the Nude, Margaret's almoner in furthering the cause of education and temperance.

He is ponderous and bland; and for the rest, he is president of the Society for the Suppression of Nicotine and the Nude, vice-president of the Anti-Inebriation League, secretary of the Incorporated Brotherhood of Benevolence, and the bearer of divers similar honours.

An old stove, rusty with the nicotine contributed by farmers during the previous season while waiting by its glowing sides for their cotton to be sold, stood straight up in a bed of sand, and festoons of cobwebs clung to the upper sashes of the murky windows.

"You can't expect to, darling; working at Whitehall as you do your fingers are bound to get stained with nicotine.

But with this granted, the simplest alkaloid formulas, those of conine, C{8}H{17}N, and nicotine, C{10}H{14}N{2}, still showed that the amine molecule contained quite complex groups of carbon and hydrogen atoms, and the great majority of the alkaloidsthe non-volatile onescontained groups in which the three elements, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, all entered.

Nicotine, C{10}H{14}N{2}, the next simplest in formula of the alkaloids, is a tertiary base, that is, contains no replaceable hydrogen atoms in its molecule.

When nicotine vapor is passed through a red-hot tube, it yields essentially collidine, and, with this, some pyridine, picoline, lutidine, and gases such as hydrogen, marsh-gas, and ethylene.

By the action of sodium upon pyridine is produced a compound C{10}H{8}N{2}, known as dipyridyl, and this, under the influence of nascent hydrogen, takes up six atoms and becomes isonicotine C{10}H{14}N{2}, a physiologically active alkaloid, isomeric with the true nicotine.

Two drops of nicotine will, indeed, kill a rabbit; but so, it is said, will two drops of solanine.

My lady nicotine and Better dead.

My lady nicotine and Better dead.

He did not follow the neat set paths that cut the garden squarely, but thrust across the beds and through the wet, tall, scented herbs, through the night-stock and the nicotine and the clusters of phantom white mallow flowers and through the thickets of southernwood and lavender, and knee-deep across a wide space of mignonette.

NICOTINE, a poisonous alkaloid extracted from the leaves of the tobacco plant, is a colourless, oily liquid, readily soluble in water, and has a pungent odour.

Mame gets sore at me for having my fingers all stained up with nicotine like this.

Nicotine itself, of course, is a volatile alkaloid base of which there is only the merest trace in tobacco.

A lump of nicotine the size of the head of a pin placed on the tongue of a horse will kill the beast instantly.

Nicotine is so deadly a poison that a drop on the end of a dog's tail will kill a man.
