C1eanlinesS and Arsenic.

In Syria and Carinthia there is much
arsenic eating among the peasants. The
women take it to give themselves a
good complexion and to make their hair
fine and glossy The men take it be-
cause they believe that it gives them
wind in climbing in the chase after
channels. There is nothing of this sort
in Cornwall and Devon
In Styria and Carinthia it is known
that an arsenic eater can never be bro
ken Of the habit and that If arsenic be
compulsorily kept from the eater death
rapidly ensues. 1t is believed in the
Tamar-and this is perhaps true-that
an arsenic worker is fit for no other
work. He must remain at this occupa-
ton. Health and breath fail him at
other employments. Eventually it may
be that chronic arsenical poisoning en-
Sues. But this may be STAYED off, if not
wholly prevented. by scrupuous clean
illness. by care taken not only to wash
in the changing house," but to battle
freely at home. AS one OF the foremcn
said to the writer. Against arsenic the
best antidote is soap taken externally"
