its rotestant Reformation, and labour without ceasing to subvert
Exl:44eiPles, cannot be sufficiently held in check in a diocese like

of tiiiiervices of the Church, in connexion with the faithful ministry

HEALTH of the WORKING CLASSES.
(From the Popular Record of Modern Science.)

PREVENTIVE TREATMENT OF THE DISEASES
OCCASIONED BY THE USE OF LEAD.

There are more than forty trades which are injuri-
ous to the health of those who work at them, all hav-
ing poisonous effects, which arc not unfrequently fatal
to life. The worst of all, are those in which a che-
mical preparation of lead forms the basis of the manu-
facture, such as litharge, white lead, minium, &c., &c.
Melting and flatting houses, shot manufactories, type
foundries, the application of the various pre-
parations in potteries and glass houses, of the
salts of lead in painting and building,
the pulverization of colours, the dyeing horse hair
stuffs black, polishing, &c., &c., all employ a consi-
derable number of workmen, who are exposed to the
action of large quantities of volatilised poisonous
matter, in the form of vapour, dust, or solution.
The absorbing surface of the body comes in
contact with these pernicious substances, which are
taken up with increased rapidity as the frame be-
comes excited by labour. hus most of the unhappy
artizans whom necessity forces into these pestilential
workshops, come to the hospitals after a few months
or even weeks, with every symptom of the worst
cases of poison. They are generally attacked by
violent cholic, which, if it be not fatal, is followed by
extreme debility, and often incurable paralysis. The
less frequent symptoms are epileptic, which, if not
immediately fatal, are succeeded by paralyses, mental
alienation, cachexy, and weakness, all beyond the
reach of medicine.

It is an obvious duty, both of superintendents and
medical men, to use every effort towards the cure and
prevention of these maladies, and it will be useful to
make known to the public the preventive treatment
which has been employed and approved of by Doctors
Gendrin, Brisset, and Meunier, physicians to the
hospital.; in Paris; Priesso, and Solari, of the hospital
at Genoa; Bertini, physician to the great hospital of
the equestrian order of St. Maurice, and St. Lazarus,
at Turin ; P. F. Curie, head physician to the Homoeo-
pathic hospital in London, Henry 13,nnet, sub-editor
of the Lancet, E. Chepmell, &c. &c.
This treatment is extremely simple, and only re-
quires the workmen to submit to the following pre-
cautions :—They are to take two baths of soap and
water every week, occasionally adding a little
sulphur, and are caretully to wash the uncovered
parts of the body with soap and water at every in-
terval between their working hours. They are to
drink one or two glasses of lemonade, made with
sulphuric acid, every day, according to the greater or
lesser quantity of dust or poisonous vapour with which
the surrounding atmospheres may be charged. At
the same time they should be more careful than the
followers of any other trade, to abstain from the use
of spirituous liquors.
The efficacy of this preventive treatment is easily
explained by the fact, that the mineral poison ab-
sorbed is thus converted into a soluble, and therefqre
innoxious salt (sulphate of lead), and the saturnine
particles depsited on the surface cf the body are
taken away. The sulphuric lemonade and common
soap may be had for a few pence each week, and in
the large, and consequently most unwholesome esta-
blishments, the condensed water from the steam-
engines, now thrown away, may be advantageously
employed for the baths. The proprietors would find
an immense advantage in providing accommodations
and ingredients for these purposes ; as by these means
they would be able to retain experienced workmen,
instead of suffering the annoyance of a constant suc-
cession of inexperienced hands.

ACCIDENT RELIEF SOClETY.—Yesterday afternoon,
a sermon on behalf of this charitable institution was
preached at the church of St. Mary Somerset, in Upper
Thames-street, by the Rev. Henry Cole, M.A. After a
very eloquent appeal by the reverend gentleman, a very
satisfactory amount was collected. It would seem that
the funds of the institution have been very severely
pressed upon during the past winter.

On Thursday last the Master of the Rolls gave
judgment in the case of the Attorney-General v. the
Lord Mayor and Corporation of the City of London,
overruling the demurrer pleaded by the defendants, and
sustaining the information filed on her Majesty's
behalf. The effect of this judgment is, that the
defendants must answer the information, and set
forth the title under which they claim to be owners
of the bed and shores of the river Thames.

appropriation of its shores, as the requirements of its
trade and the rational enjoyments of its increasing popu-

THE WEATHER AND CROPS. The high winds
and excessive cold which prevailed ten days ago have been
succeeded by genial breezes from the west and south-west,
and refreshing showers of rain. The earth is again putting
on her mantle of green, and bears token that summer is ap-
proaching. The sowing of oats is completed, barley nearly
so, and some progress made in the planting of potatoes. The
weather is favourable for the spring operations of the hus-
bandman ; and the lateness of the season rendering every
minute precious, agricultural operations are pushed forward
with the utmost vigour. An unusual breadth of land
is this season being prepared for potatoes ; and, from the
care taken in preserving the seed, it is hoped that the dis-
ease which has been so injurious to this valuable root, will
not re-appear, or, if so, that thegreaiubutatroteh Witness.ntionwldch, for
some time has been bestowed on the subject will be tha
