DANGEROUS FURS.
Cases of virulent eczema caused by I wearing cheap dyed furs have been so numerous that the health authorities, u.re ! enquiring into this danger. There is no harm in the ordinary fur-dressing and dyeing processes, but pelts that have i been subjected to drastic chemical treatment to produce fantastic colours j are liable to cause trouble to people with highly sensitive skins. Dyed gloves will sometimes produce the same j results. The dye acts as an irritant and while it may have no effect on some ' people, on others it will cause serious skin eruptions. Women and girls at all
subject to rashes or skin irritation should strictly avoid wearing ehe.ip dyed furs, and especially those of i fanciful or lurid colouring.
