HEALTH HINTS.

That lead is a poison and lead pols.
oning may result from the use Of wa.
ter stored In lead containers or cor
veyed in lead pipes has been know
from ancient times.
Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine.
recognized and commented on the
danger of poisoning from the use OF
mountain spring water which has
been brought down to certain Greciau
cities in lead pipes more than 400
years before the Christian era.
About the middle of the nineteenth
century, when the installation of MI.
nicipal water supplies had become
more or less common, the fact thas
lead poisoning was quite common IL
certain localities became very notice
able in England.
The cause of the disease was readily
traced TO the use OF lead pipes in inc
water supplies, but the fact that other
similar localities where lead pipes
were in use were not affected gave rise
to much speculation and also to soCe
excellent research work by which
much was learned about the action
OF water on lead.
In this country the danger Of using
lead in connection with water supply
was early recognized. In 1892 spec.
ial committee, appointed to investigate
the unusual prevalence of lead poison
ing in Lowell, Mass, reported that
well waters in that locality were ex-
tremely liable to attack lead and is
sued public notice warning citizens
that the use of lead pipes in connec-
ton with their drinking water sup;
plies was dangerous.
AS is well known lead Is an accun
ulative poison and it is only when Ia
ken into the body in frequent small
doses that it has any appreciate Ell.
feet on the system.
All persons are not equally suscep.
tible to lead poisoning. Young per
sons are usually somewhat more sus.
ceptible than old and women are
somewhat more susceptible than men.
As lead affects the nervous system
as we'll as the liver and kidneys, 1t
is also quite possible that lead poison.
ing may be a contributory cause OF
many diseases OF mid-life.
