Dangerous Ink.

1t sometimes happens that a trifing
scratch or puncture made with a pen
gives rise to dangerous septicaema.
The chemical constituents of the ink
which is introduced by the pen into the
wound are not capable of producing
septicaemia, but microspical examina-
ton proves that the ill effects are due
to the liability of ink to contain patho-
genie bacteria. DR.. Marpmann of Leip-
sic has recently published the results
OF the microspical examination of six
ty-seven samples of ink used in schools.
Most of them were made with gall nuts.
and contained saprophytes, bacteria
and micrococci. Nigrosin ink, taken
from freshly opened bottle, was found
to contain both saprophytes and bac-
ter1a- In the two instances DR.. Marp-
mann succeeded in cultivating from nj
grosln ink bacillus which proved fa-
tai to mice within four days. The ink
nad stood in an open bottle for three
months. and the inference to be drawn
from the inquiry is that ink used in
schools should always be kept covered
when not in use.-London Lancet.
