The annexed article is from the "Scalpel'-
a New York medical journal of large circulation
on the subject of lead diseases. We learn that
the French government has adopted the use of
white of zinc as substitute for white lead in
arsenals and ships. This is an act of humanity,
as well as economy. 1t is said that over ten
thousand houses have been painted with the
white of zinc in Paris within the last two years.
Tanquerel, the celebrated French chemist, says
persons should not occupy rooms painted with
white lead until the last coat has been put on two
or three months; and he earnestly hopes that the
painters and workmen will decide to substitute
zinc for white lead. They then work without
fearing that they are every moment injuring their
health. ... ...... 4...,..e..,...,.... (.
