Z>. . Y O U R TEETHING child can die or be permanently in jured by an insidious disease you parents can prevent en tirely. Two-year-old Marilyn lived with her folks in a paint-peel ing tenement. Her mother didn't think much about it when Marilyn became irritable and constipated. Then Mari lyn began having frequent headaches, nausea, vomiting and pains in the stomach. A frightening convulsion decis ively indicated the need for prompt medical attention. When the doctor closely questioned Marilyn's mother, she recalled the child's pick ing up flakes of paint and p it ting them in her mouth. Some times Marilyn gnawed on the window sill while cutting her teeth. Blood tests and bone X-rays proved that Marilyn had lead poisoning: If it had continued longer, Marilyn would have had permanent brain damage or may even have died. LEAD POISONING is a dan gerous 'health hazard in chil dren from one through five years of age, especially while they are teething. In the past 18 years, 220 Baltimore chil dren suffered from lead poi soning and 78 of them died from it. AH of these deaths could have been prevented. Therein is their tragedy. Of t h e s e 220 youngsters, 121 were 2-year-olds and 191 were 3-year-olds or less. Children living in poor, run down neighborhoods are espe- cially likely to suffer lead poi soning. The interior walls of the houses usually haven't been painted for years and were last painted with a lead paint, now peeling. You can entirely prevent this disease by certain precau tions. If given the chance, young children will eat any thing. When teething, they like to bite and chew. Don't allow them to chew painted surfaces (especially repainted woodwork) such as window sills, cribs, high chairs or oth er furniture. Look these surfaces over for tooth marks to see if your child has chewed them. If a child has something safe to chew on such as teething rings or hard rubber toys, he is less likely to bite danger ous, lead-painted materials. KEEP YOUR child from eat ing dried paint flakes by clean ing them up and watching your child more carefully. Old paint should be removed from window sills and repainting done with lead-free paint. Whenever you paint indoors read the label on the paint can carefully. Be sure the paint does not contain lead pigment. Do not buy lead paint for indoor use. It is false economy to use left-over outdoor lead paint for paint ing inside the house. If you suspect that your child has been chewing a leadpainted surface, or if he shows any symptoms of lead poison ing, take him to a doctor and suggest'the possibility. He'l) give the child a blood and X-ray examination. Early diagnosis and proper treatment of lead poisoning usually leads to recovery, Bet ter still is removing the haz ard entirely by scraping old paint off, carefully discarding the flakes and repainting in doors with lead-free paint.

I t Is doubtful though, he hastens to add, whether skin absorption of inorganic lead compounds ever takes place except when the skin is damaged by inflammation or wound. Organic lead compounds, such as tetra-ethyl lead, will penetrate the skin, Is the aston ishing but unsupported assertion of this writer. Not Through Sound Skin Tetra-ethyl lead is quite vola tile, and it Is os reasonable to assume that it is inhaled as It is to assume th a t the gasoline in which it is dissolved is inhaled when anybody is poisoned by spilling such a liquid on the clothing. At any rate, there is no scientific experiment w h ic h proves th a t tetra-ethyl lead is absorbed through unbroken skin. That notion is just a conclusion to which some ponderous doctor has jumped. -Too often medical writers confuse opinion with fact Water conducted through lead pipe may dissolve out some trace of lead, especially if the water, contains much carbon dioxide, and as little as 1-50Oth of a grain daily, taken in the drinking wa ter. or in beer or wine which has been kept In or flowed through lead pipe, may cause chronic lead poisoning in the course of a few months. Forty rather severe cases of lead poisoning occurred in Bal timore a few years ago, from the use of old discarded storage bat tery cases as fuel; a similar out break In Nashville affected flve families and fourteen children. Sources of Poisoning Sources of lead poisoning are numerous. Mining of soluble lead salts, not galena (sulphide of lead.)

Perhaps it was 'a school teacher who was diph theria carrier or sonie schoolmate who had what was called an ordi nary sore throat. They might have said that the second child visited the first child when she was first taken sick. They might say that the second child caught the diph theria froin the mother of the first child at the funeral, or from some diphtheria carrier who was at the funeral. In most places they do not allow public funerals where death was due to diphtheria. This is not be cause of fear that the corpse will spread the .disease. It is because the parents and other relatives who attend the'funeral are frequently diphtheria carriers temporarily ca pable of infecting. It is the possible contacts between the family an d 1 friends that create the danger in public funprals where death was due to contagion.

Dr. M cKhann reports several cases of lead poisoning due to eating p ain t from fu rn itu re and walls, So m any A ustra lian children have been poisoned from eating p aint th a t the parliam ent of th a t country is said to have passed a law prohibiting lead painting of cribs, toys, add other objects to which chil dren have access. The symptoms of lead poisoning are n o t easily recognised. I remember when a physician reported to the health de partm ent th a t he suspected some chil dren in his practice were suffering from lead poisoning. Investigation showed his suspicions to be well founded. The children were being poisoned through drinking carbonated bottled beverages. The beverage was sold in a bottle which is n o t on th e m arket now. The point is th a t parents of th e poisoned children, and even th e physicians in attendance, w ith the ad a p tio n noted, did not sus pect lead poisoning. In a m ild case th e only symptoms of the poisoning may be unexplained pale ness and constipation. If a phyBician suspects lead poisoning he can m ake an exam ination of th e blood, which clears up th e diagnosis in m ost cases. Some w hat more severe poisoning causes cramps, vomiting and headache. In very severe cases there may be convulsions, blindness and evidence of inflam m ation of th e brain due to lead. In some cases physicians find lead in the urine, By using a magnifying glass they can find a lead line on the gums. The symptoms of lead poisoning are due to th e lead which circulates in the blood stream . In a short while this lead is deposited in th e bones, where upon th e sym ptom s of poisoning -de cline. However, th e bones are prone to feed lead back Into th e blood stream. Therefore a child who has been a paint eater, and who has suffered from lead poisoning b u t who has stopped the practice, may again develop lead poi soning, due in th is second- Instance to lead absorbed from th e bones by the blood. A physician treating a case of lead poisoning may have either one of two objectives. If th e symptoms are acute and violent he tries to promote thp de posit of lead in th e bones. To do' this he gives lactate of calcium by m outh, or chloride of calcium by injection into the veins. He also feeds meat, milk and other foods rich in lime, All of th is is done for th e purpose of giving rapid relief in cases of violent poisoning where life is in im m inent danger. B ut lead m u st no t be left'indefinite ly in*the bones. Later on, when every thing is propitious, he tries to deiead the bones. To do th a t he gives a diet which Includes meat, liver, potatoes, tomatoes, com , banafias, and bread which has been m ade w ithout milk.

EVANS. Old -fa sh io n e d lead poisoning Las faded away, There is almost; none of It as It was ween Sir Thomas Oliver began agitating the subject about a generation ago. On the other hand, a mild, form *>f lead poisoning Is about to ' become well nigh universal. Ordinary water, from the ordinary city supply, picks vp lead from the water pipes inside the house. These pipes are commonly made oi lead. This conclusion is based on a study of lead in 102 towns in Massa chusetts, including Boston. Of the supplies, 72 were public water sup plies obtained principally from streams : and lakes; 20 supplies were from wells and 10 were from springs. The method of Investigation consisted in drawing water from house taps and nnalyzing the samples for lead, and in examin ing people promiscuously for evidence of lead, AU of the waters contained lead in measurable amounts. Of 353 people examined, 63 gave evidence o; some degree of lead poisoning. Some had had rather definite attacks which were caused by lead. In some, evidence of lead poisoning were found, though the persons did not suspect the nature of their trouble. These people had been drinking the lead water for variable lengths of time. Children were found to be subject to the poison taken in the drinking water. Men were found to be ju st as susceptible as women Length of time the water had been consumed and length of time had stood in the pipes were not found to be of great importance. The amount of carbonic acid in the water was found to be of importance. Live, sparkling waters, rich in gas, were apt to contain more lead; flat waters, less. Very soft waters were more dan gerous than hard waters. In fact, one reason for hesitation about accepting this New England experience as a guide for the balance of the countries Is th at so many of the New England waters are very soft.

While cleaning this fish I noticed several cream-colored spots about the size of a grain of wheat. These were located at various places in the flesh and some were just under the skin. Upon closer investigation they were found to be worms th a t started to crawl when liberated from the skin th at surrounded them. Furthermore, the flesh of the fish was speckled with small black pots throughout, which made it appear as though it had been peppered. Of course, the fish was not used, What causes this condition? Is it common? Is there a name for it? What would "happen to a person, who con sumed such a fish? REPLY. My guess is th a t there were larvae of the same worm, probably a fish tape worm. Had you cooked this fish very thor oughly and then eaten it, you would have suffered no HI effects. Had you eaten it raw or undercooked, you would have developed one or more tapeworms. And so would your sisters and your cousins and your aunts, likewise the dogs, cats and such.
