Graham, who staled that in the past fortnight three men had been admitted to hospital suffering from sodium chlorate burns. "There are always h number of these cases at this time of the year,” said Dr. Graham. “People seem to forget that sodium chlorate is highly inflammable when it dries on their clothes, ft, would be a good idea if all engaged in the eradication of ragwort wore overalls which could be taken ofT as soon as the work is finished and before the wearer comes near any fire.”
