POISONED by WEARING PAPER
COLLARs..-A Boston paper has a
report that q clerk in ore Of the
Wholesale stores ofthat city has lately
been afflicted with a painful break
ing out on the neck, which he at first
attributed to boilS, but the matter
getting serious, he applied to a ply
slclan, who informed his patient that
he was suffering from the poisonous
properties Of articles used in the pre-
paratlon of his enamclled paper col
lars, which had been absorbed into
his system; upon inquiry, it was
found that some half dozen other
clerks, all of whom wore these col
lars, were afflicted IN a similar man
ner.
This is not at all improbable, we
suppose: a few days ago, says the
Mobile Tribune, we saw the state
ment that little child had died from
one of these cnamelled col
lars. Their gloss is produced by a
deadly preparation of lead. The
fact is, these enamelled collars are
not so cheap or so comfortable as the
palmer ones, which are as innocent
Of harm as well-rOaSted potato.
