Seem to be strange clues to me. Can't understand Beppo. I thought of Lookout, but can't quite see it. Curer is a bit tenuous. Thanks a lot, anyway.

explanations:

14a a lookout is a guard, and cave is the Latin for "Beware!" (as in caveat emptor) i.e. "Look out!"

31a a drug that is effective would cure and so could be said to be a curer, and to smoke is to cure meat


35d Beppo is a poem by Byron
book = b
marx (not the capital) = Zeppo (one of the Marx Brothers) without it's leading letter

Thanks. Not such poor clues after all, just my poor understanding.
