Dyeing is not like painting or even the printing or
staining of paper for hangings, where the vehicle and color in its
entirety is applied and remains. It follows, therefore, that many
chemicals used in dyeing have only a transitory use, and are washed away
completely--such as oil of vitriol, much used in woolen dyeing--and that
of others only a very minute quantity is finally left on the cloth, as is
the case in antimony and arsenic in cotton dyeing and printing.
There is evidently among working dyers, as among all other classes, an
unknown amount of carelessness, ignorance, and stupidity, from which
employers are constantly suffering in the shape of spoiled colors and
rotted cloth. It is not for us to say that the public may not at times
have to suffer also from neglect of the most common treatments which
should remove injurious matters from dyed goods; what can be said is, that
if the dyeing processes for aniline colors be followed out with ordinary
care and intelligence, it is extremely improbable that anything left in
the material should be injurious to human health.--_Manchester Textile

CASE OF RESUSCITATION AND RECOVERY AFTER APPARENT DEATH BY HANGING.
By ERNEST W. WHITE, M.B. Lond., M.R.C.P., Senior Assistant Medical Officer
to the Kent Lunatic Asylum; Associate, Late Scholar, of King's College,
London.
The following case, from its hopelessness at the outset, yet ultimate
recovery under the duly recognized forms of treatment, is of such interest
as to demand publicity, and will afford encouragement to others in moments
of doubt.
