D., Director Kettering Lab. of Applied Physiology University of Cincinnati College of Medicine Eden Avenue Cincinnati 19, Ohio Dear Bob: What is your opinion on this one? In the May issue of the farm Journal appears the fol lowing : "Crank-ease oil from engines that have been run on ethyl gasoline has lead in it. If it's used in a "hog oiler" or in mange and mite sprays, it can kill hogs. They absorb the lead through their skin." This is apparently on the authority-of Dr. J. W.
