The protest against the use of collate-thus: “That the men and women who wear them have no eruptions upon the neck is only a proof of their greater peril; for it shows that the system is so corrupt- ed or weakened as to take in the arsenic without that natural, healthy resistance which produces sores or boils. On the other hand, however, it is quite possible that ladies may be disfigured for life by unsightly blotch- es arising from the use of these collars and cuffs. As they are, at best, only a sham and a substitute for linen and muslin, and as no great expense is involved in the purchase of the only materials of which collars can be safely made, we hope that the wearing of poisonous paper collars will be discontinued, and we urge all physicians, and especially .the Board of Health,to instruct the public in regard to this important subject.” «.boM—a Susan's FLANK MovamTa—Gen.
