INDUSTRIAL DISEASES.

DIT. Hamilton writes with special reference to tia
trades In which employed and begins
with the lead industries being the most danger
Gus Of those employing poisonous substances. N
many Of these women are employed and IL appears
that they are much more susceptible than men TO
this form OF poisoning. Lead poisoning begins with
paralysis OF the arm and may end in blindness in
sanity and death The lead industries consid-
cred SO dangerous IN Europe that they are hedzsd
about with elaborate restrictions, but IN America
there are no such laws.
The rubber industry. very large and important
employs hundreds of women. and here also they ara
exposed to greater danger than men, They
peciaIIy susceptible to carbon bisulphlde. used IN
vulcanizing the rubber. and this cannot be mads
safe. In England one is allowed TO work mora
than five hours day in the carbon bisulphlds
rooms.
The dust producing trades appear TO be even mora
troublesome than the poisonous ones, and there ara
those which combine dust and poison
"In the great English potteries." says DR.. Ham
flton, among the who brush and polish
the fred pottery, cases Of consumption sometimes
develop after two months work" At such a price,

Among trades that are dangerous because Of ths
excessive dampness. often combined with intense
heat are mentioned IaundTies. jam factories and
canning works of all kinds These have the air
