Danger From Soft Drinks.

disclosed by an investigation conducted
by the Massachusetts board OF health
Summer drinks, such as sarsaparllla
soda. lem onade and the like, are often
put on the market in bottles, whose
shoppers are composed largely OF lead.
An ANALYSIS of 30 of these shoppers
showed that they contained from eight
to fifty per cent of lead. The contents
of the hotties we're also found to con-
tain traces of lead, the largest amount
of the poison being equivalent to TWEEN
tv-seven-one- hundredths of grain
per gallon. This is very small
quantity, but lead is a cumulative pol
son. and, while small part of graz
aiken into the sy-tem would not show
any il effec5s, continual additions
would resu u: length n 5udIea eX-
