DR.. HdROUCrieg, French physician.
has published some novel observations
on a disease peculiar to bank clerks.
Ii has been noticed for years that
bankers clerks, after handling for
some days in succession large auanti-
ties of silver five-franc pieces, suffer
from disorders of the respiratory and
digestive organs. These have been
ascribed to dark-greenish metallic
dust, which is raised by taking the
coins from the bags where they are
generally kept, weighing them and
putting them back. This dust impreg-
mates the atmosphere of the room.
blackens the skin, and penetrates into
the respiratory and digestive tracts.
together with the air and saliva. In
the years 1872 and 1874, when the
money which had been paid by France
To Prussia as tribute was returned TO
France through mercantile transact
ions, the clerks spent an unusually
long time in handling the coins, which
had not been taken out of their bags
for some years, and the affection was
more marked than ever. Owing to
the peculiar circumstances under
which this affection has been observed
there can be no doubt as to its being
due partly TO the copper (verdigris5,
and partly TO the OXidized state of the
silver; both metals are used i'm the
coinage of tue fve-franc pieces, in the
proportion of nine tenths of silver and
one-tenth of copper.

The family had listened with rapt
attention, and as the head paused i'm his
narrative, the young heir whose re-
spect for his fathers bravery was inn
measurable, proudly remarked:
"He couldn't knock any brains out of

the youth continued with great inno-
