IN Sussex, of the Delaware state, this win
ter and {pring,more than twenty persons,
generally heads of families, are already dead,
by the Poison of Lead which they drank in
brandy ; by being diftilied through a flill
worm made of old gutter lead, by beating
and foddering it. It had been partly dii
folved before, by the nitre of the 3ir, and
then fully into white lead by the boiling aci®
spirit of the cyder, and peach liquor. The
brandy on examination had 2 very large se
diment of white lead in the bottom ; -but as
lead is only an austere sweet; it could not be
tasted on the brandy, DMany more are yet
in danger from it,
The Symptoms were violent pains or
spasms of the stomach, then of the bowels,
obstinate conflipation, and no paffage—be
fore death, black stools; circulations retard
ed, and the arterial system injured, but the
nervous much more—breathing difficulte
cramps in the limbs—tremblings and para-
Iytic fymptoms—{pafms, c ‘“\vuifions,epilep
tic fits, fuffocation and death,
Cure of the smelters ot lead.—They have
their stomachs full of hot greasy broth ; and
when poilfoned drink bottles of sweet oil,and
glifier with the fame. Anry mild oil may do
as well. Tobacco smoke glisters and bal
sam Peru are recommended. Mons, Xavi
er’s cure will not do.
