(To the Editor): Having had a few cases of ten who | have been working at the tearing down and the reconstruction of a building for the chemical works and they have come to me with complaints of itching of the skin and "bowel trouble, I thought it my duty to place before the public and particularly the working man (for he is the bearer of the brunt of the battle for the necessaries of life) these facts: -- You are working about a smelter that has contained ores of different kinds, as lead, silver, nickel, mercury, iron; etc. In the refining of metal then is given off fumes of other substances that have been mixed with it in its rock formation. Fumes arising from the furnaces permeate the whole build- ing and lodges in all parts. Therefore in the reconstruction the dust arises and falls upon the working man and sifts into his clothing. Some of the dust he breathes into his breathing pas- sages and lungs. Thus not only is the outside of the body affected but also are the internal organs attacked by this dust or fumes. The old saying is that "an ounce of prevension is worth a pound of cure" still holds good. For that ounce of prevention I am quoting from lectures given by such men as Thos. M. Legge, M.D., lecturer on factory hygiene of the University of Manchester, Eng; Kenneth W. Goadby, M.R.C.S. sur- geon of the smelting works of East London, and others. The rules of these men and others are too long to state here. But to place the matter before the working man is simply this:--.. You .go to work in honest man's working clothes and in the dust and fumes all day, you are sweating and this makes the matter stick more close- ly to your skin and clothes. When you go home you do not change clothing and sometimes sleep in that same un- derclothing that is full of that poison- ous metal, Do this for that ounce of prevension: When you go home re- move all clothing, take a bath in which you put four tablespoonfulls of ordin- ary washing soda; dry well and put on fresh clothing for the rest of the day. Next day return to your working clothes (there is no need of washing them) to go to work in the morning. Do this and should any other troubles arise see your own. family physician. --W. A. McCARTHY, M.D. OLD FOLKS ENTERTAINED By the Choir of the Portsmouth Un- ion Church. The inmates of the Home for Aged were entertained Friday evening, by the choir of Portsmouth Union Church.
