Adjective
(en adjective)Dr. Parr and Tobacco," Notes & Queries , July-December, p. 12:
- After dinner the party adjourned to the drawing-room, where "the Doctor began to feel certain cravings for the stimulating fumes of his beloved pipe." The lady of the house, on the alert, caught the half whispered word, and at once interposed her veto . . . . This was not the only occasion, it may be imagined, on which the doctor suffered from the misocapnic prejudices of a fair hostess.
ch. 2:
- All the civilised world is behindhand touching tobacco. It has, like the Quaker's historical dog, gotten a bad name. One-idea'd hygeists, followers of the "Misocapnic Solomon," have persuaded the world that it is a slow poison.
