Chloride of lime is sold widely as one
of the most popular and effective dis
injecting agents and is put up without
any caution as to its use. 1t is made
from ordinary lime as basis for the
absorption of chlorine gas-the same
gas which is well known from its use
by the Germans in the late war. DR..
Eddy and the authorities at the local
drug stores declared that they had
never known OF an accident Of this sort,
although Dr. P. L. Dorey recalls that
very recently, and possibly from the
same brand, there have been two SINH
lar accidents although less serious. One
of them it was said was the case Of
Mrs Charles Payment who about three
weeks ago was opening can of the
lime when a quantity of it blew upon
her, but fortunately did not strike her
eyes. There was still another case re-
poEted in which a child of Oliver
Rheaume, now of Weybridge, was
slightly hurt while opening a can of
lime on the Mead place in Middlebury
recently.
DR.. Eddy has referred Mr.. Remele's
case to the State Board of Health for
an investigation as to the brand of
lime that caused the accident, but no
report has as yet been received.
