[Weight increase and chronic experimental poisoning by tobacco smoke in the albino rat. Effect of protection with mineral waters].
The Authors refer to the results of an experiment conducted on albino rats chronically intoxicated with tobacco smoke. Several groups of animals were contemporaneously protected, by drinking or by inhaling or by both methods, by a beneficial sulphureous water with a varying sulphydrometric degree, and in one experiment, by inhaling a hypertonic salso-bromo-iodic water. In all cases, it was possible to observe that in the adopted experimental conditions, the chronic intoxication from tobacco smoke slowed the weight increase of albino rats subjected to intoxication and not protected, both as regards non-intoxicated animals and as regards intoxicated animals protected by one of the studied waters. There were no statistically significant differences between the weight increase of the animals protected by the drinking or inhaling methods while protection via both methods resulted statistically more efficacious than protection by one single method.
