WEDNESDAY, MABUH 81,1897. DISEASES OF TRADES. g; RESULTS OP CONTINUED OCCUPA? TION OF MEN WHO WORK. . . 16 Appears' That Each Kind of Employ ment Has Its Peculiar Ailment-Both Physical and Mental Workers Fall Un? der the Bale-Politicians Die Early. '.V-"'" . - It is well known thai; there are a 2 ?umber of dangerous trades which give ;.. vise to serions diseases; bnt, as a matter f of fact, almost every occupation has "v- ?onie ailment peculiar to itself. A doc ffig?r can always tell if his patient is a Bgjb&ker, for instance, by tho state of his teeth. The flour dust collects on the teeth, becomes acid and gives rise to a : special kind of decay, fakers, owing to their irregular life, sleeping in the day ?nd working at night, and because of the . hot air and dust, are great victims to consumption. Blacksmiths, strong as they are,/very often suffer from paraly? sis of tho whole right side, from the con? tinuons shock of hammering, and their ; eyes become weak from the glare of the ' fcre. Athletes, strange to say, do not, as a "rale, enjoy long life. Professional boxers, vrrest?ers, gymnasts, cyclists, are short ; lived and suffer from enlargement of - fee heart and diseases of the lungs. Boilermakers get deaf from the contin? ual loud noise. Brewers and brewers* J V?tivers drink beer in such large quanti ; i?t?s tliat they ruin their livers and gen? erally die young. Bricklayers and plas? . terers are very Healthy, and they are ^Jsaid to resemble -asses in never dying. Batchers are very strong and healthy, | but they suffer in health through eating ? little pifcoes of raw meat Cabmen are noted fer "nipping," and they endure ;. the natural consequences. The cold also ; affects their faces to such a degree that j^the muscles of the face become frequent -.: ly paralyzed. ^Carpenters and cabinet makers are afflicted with varicose veins in the legs, I and the action of the shoulder in sawing ; 3?d planing produces a diseased condi? tion of the large artery that runs from " the heart to the Jinn, so that there is not a carpenter living, a doctor says, in ; whom a curious noise may not be heard .''reapplying the ?ar to that blood ves ; ^seL Hardly a single china scourer lives : to old age without becoming asthmatic. ^ Clergyman's sore throat is of course well known. It is said by*some tore r suit from having the mouth open so fre quently, the air going in that way and diving the throat. Others say it is caused by the clerical collar. And others still say it results from the fact that the dergyman preaches from a pulpit and bas to bend his bead downward-for barristers, who talk: quite as much, do net suffer as much as clergymen, being cn the same level as their hearers. . Miners, from working in the dark, ?;. become .very irritable. Their eyes get weak, and their lungs become, quite . black-miners' lung. Cooks, particular Cfy male cooks working in hotels, clubs and restaurants, get gout from contin? ually tasting rich food, and both male and female cooks get varicose veins and flat feet from long standing as well as the well known ache of the face from the heat and dirt. Coopers have a lump on the knee, which is really a little bag cf fluid put there by nature to protect the knee from the injurious effects of . pressing it against the barrel. Divers' hearts become distended from holding their breath. r Domestic servants are remarkable for suffering from typhoid fever. House? maids are frequently afflicted with pov ; erty of blood from oinking tea and running up stairs. Dressmakers' long hours and confinement result in con? sumption very often, but more often in indigestion, poverty cf bleed and im? paired eyesight The fumes of - nitric acid make goldsmiths' eyes sore, and they get cramps in their fingers from catching small screws. Nearly all the human beings who suffer from that - awful disease, glanders, are grooms. Lidia rubber workers have very bad headaches and great mental depression. Painters aro poisoned by the lead they use so much, and all their muscles, but especially their wrist muscles, become /very weak. Photographers get poisoned by cyanide of potassium. The dost that j enters the lungs of potters when they are sifting clay interferes so much with their breathing that "petter's asthma" is a well .known .disease. Compositors get cracks and fissures in t?ie lips and small tumors in their mouths from the habit of putting type in the month, and consumption attacks them frequently because of the stooping posture and the confined, sedentary life. Politicians are greatest sufferers of all, 'the constant dram drinking giving them indigestion, jaundice and nervous diseases, killing them at an earlier age than members of any other profession. Sailors, very sin? gularly, suffer greatly from consump? tion, owing to tbfe cold and damp and the bad air. of the forecastle. Salesmen and saleswomen in shops do a lot of standing, which gives them varicose veins and pains in the feet Cloth scour? ers, who inhale benzine and turpentine, suffer from headache, lassitude and nervousness. Shoemakers get their chest pressed in by the last, lose their appetite and strength and have headaches. Stone? cutters' eyes are often injured by the flying stone. Tea tasters, although they only take the tea into the mouth and do not swal? low it, become so nervous that they can follow their, employment fer only a pe? ri of eight to ten years. The sedentary life of lawyers, artists, students and literary men gires rise to gout, which is said to kill more wise men than"fools; dyspepsia, which made Carlyle's life such a torture, and apoplexy, which carries off hosts of great men.-Pall Mall Gazette. Not News. "We heard some cf the strangest, most outlandish things last night, " be? gan the woman who gossips. "Yes," replied the woman who doesn't, "so a friend who attended your musicale was telling me."-Exchange. Potash is a necessary and important ingredient of complete fer? tilizers. Crops of all kinds require a properly balanced manure. The best Fertilizers contain a high percentage of Potash.
