It will be noted that although a great variety of colors are repre- 

 sented, neither the crepe nor glazed papers contain large enough 

 amounts of arsenic to be objectionable, while the shelf papers contain 

 none at all. The improvement in glazed papers from the time when 

 Hills examined 88 samples in 1891 is marked, and indicates that the 

 manufacturers have stopped using Paris and Scheele greens as color- 

 ing matters in this class of goods. 



In Table VII are" given the results of the analyses of 72 samples of 

 fabrics, some of which are invariably and others occasionally used in 

 making articles of dress. This class of goods according to the laws 

 of Massachusetts should not contain more than 0.01 grain of arsenic 

 per square yard (0.78 mg per square meter).
