ARSENIC IN PAPERS AND FABRICS. 



TABLE X. Arsenic content of miscellaneous fabrics other than dress goods. 



In Table XI are given the results of analyses of 21 samples of car- 

 pets. None of the samples contained more than 0.1 grain of arsenic 

 per square yard. This is practically the same result as that obtained 

 by Leach when he examined carpets sold on the Massachusetts market, 

 and indicates that this class of goods is not so liable to contain large 

 amounts of arsenic as are many other woven fabrics.
