FROM THE USE OF LEAD IN CERTAIN TRADES. This
treatment Is extremely simple, and only requires the
workmen to submit to the following precautions
They are TO take two baths of soap and water every
week, occasionally adding little sulphur, and
carefully to wash the uncovered parts of the body
with soap and water at every interval between their
working hours. They are to drink one two glasses
OF lemonade, made with sulphuric acid, every day,
according to the greater or lesser quantity Of dust,
or poisonous vapor with which the surrounding at
mosphere may be charged AT the same time they
should be more careful than the followers of any
other trade, to abstain from the of spirituous IL
quors. The efficacy of this preventive treatment is

turnine particles deposited the surface of the body
are taken away.-Popular Record Of Science.
