As to the detection Of poisonous yellow
comfts, we will refer to our remarks on
the reds, and simply say 70 our readers
that they oughtnot to permit the use OF
yellow ,comfts In their families Of oil; but

ware Of those which when DISCO lived In

seem that the, great number OF warnings
which, we have had, from time time, az TO
TIE, danger Of such pigments, have caslssa,
ed 1.-the public to become shy Of them:
This has not been without good cause,

contain copper, while the brightest one

green permitted to- be used should be Q
