Excerpt from Lead Poisoning and Lead Absorption: The Symptoms, Pathology and Prevention, With Special Reference to Their, Industrial Origin and an Account of the Principal Processes Involving Risk The Editors hope to issue in this series of International Medical Monographs contributions to the domain of the Medical Sciences on subjects of immediate interest, made by first-hand authorities who have been engaged in extending the confines of knowledge. Readers who seek to follow the rapid progress made in some new phase of investigation will find therein accurate information acquired from the consultation of the leading authorities of Europe and America, and illuminated by the researches and considered opinions of the authors. Amidst the press and rush of modern research, and the multitude of papers published in many tongues, it is necessary to find men of proved merit and ripe experience, who will winnow the wheat from the chaff, and give us the present knowledge of their own subjects in a duly balanced, concise, and accurate form. This volume deals with a subject of wide interest, for lead is dealt with in so many important processes of manufacture - in the making of white lead, pottery glazing, glass polishing, handling of printing type, litho-making, house, coach, and motor painting, manufacture of paints and colour, file-making, tinning of metals, harness-making, manufacture of accumulators, etc. The authors bring forward convincing evidence, experimental and statistical, in favour of the causation of lead poisoning by the inhalation of dust.
