Tobacco Spitters in Cars

EGW

These spitters are a terrible annoyance to decent people. The following, stating some of the perils of travel in consequence of them, is to the point. The reform dress, however, makes these perils a little less perilous. I take with me into the cars a large amount of waste paper, with which to absorb this horrid liquid that I cannot avoid, and my husband takes pine wedges to fasten up the car windows, and so we enjoy some good air, and suffer what we cannot help. Thanks to the Interior for the following faithful picture.HR March 1, 1871, par. 1
