﻿Paris 
  Green. 
  

  

  The 
  use 
  of 
  paris 
  green 
  as 
  an 
  insecticide 
  has 
  been 
  very 
  general 
  

   throughout 
  the 
  country, 
  and 
  its 
  poisonous 
  effects 
  have 
  been 
  mini- 
  

   mized 
  by 
  great 
  adulteration. 
  

  

  Louisiana 
  passed 
  a 
  law 
  in 
  1890 
  permitting 
  packages 
  of 
  Paris 
  

   green 
  containing 
  fifty 
  per 
  centum 
  of 
  arsenic 
  to 
  be 
  labeled 
  " 
  strictly 
  

   pure," 
  and 
  packages 
  containing 
  less 
  than 
  fifty 
  per 
  centum 
  of 
  ar- 
  

   senic 
  to 
  be 
  labeled 
  " 
  impure."
