baker, for instance, BY the state Of his |
teeth. The flour dust collects Oh the |
teeth, becomes acid and gives rise 10
special kind of decay. Bakers, owing 20
their irregular life, sleeping in the day
and working &C night, ana lecauso CT the
hot air and dust, are great victims to
consumption. Blachsmiths, strong as
they are, very often suffer from paraly
sis Of the whole right side from the con-
tinuous shock Of hammering, and their
eyes become weak from the glare Of tie
fire. Athletes, strange TO say, DO not, as q
rule, enjoy long life. Professional boxers,
wrestlers, gymnasts, cyclists are short 4

the heart and diseases of the lungs.
n Boilermakeis get deaf from the contin-

& drivers drink beer in such large quanti-
ties that they ruin their livers and gen
orally die young. Bricklayers and plas-
terers are very healthy, and they are
said TO resemble asses in never dying.
3 Butchers are very strong and healthy,
F but they suffer in health through eating
X little pieces Of raw meat. Cabmen arc
noted for "nipping, and they endure
the natural consequences. The cold also
affects their faces to such degree that
81 the muscles of the face become frequent
Il ly paralyzed.
Carpenters and cabinet makers arc
afflicted with varicose veins in the legs,
and the action of the shoulder in saving

Clergyman's sore throat is Of course
we'll known. 1t IS said by some to re-
suit from having the mouth open so fre-
quently, the air going in that way and
drying the throat. Others say it is caused
by the clerical collar And others still
say it results from the fact that the
clergyman breaches from a pulpit and
has to bend his head downward--for
barristers, who talk quite as much, dO
not suffer as much as clergymen, being
ON the same level as their hearers

Domestic servants are remarkable for
suffering from typhoid fever. House.
maids are frequently afflicted with pow

running up stairs. Dressmakers' long
hours and confinement result in con-
sumption very often, but more often in
indigestion, poverty Of blood and i'm

acid make goldsmiths eyes sore, and
they get cramps in their fingers from
catching small screws. Nearly all the
human beings who suffer from that
awful disease, glanders, are grooms.

Painters are poisoned by the lead they
use so much, and all their muscles, but
