The principal data which form the basis of the present paper were tabulated by the writer for the Annual Report of the Chief Inspector of Factories for 1899, and were obtained as a result of an enactment in the Factories and Workshops Act of 1895. This enactment requires every medical practitioner attending on or called in to visit a patient whom he believes to be suffering from lead poisoning, contracted in a factory or workshop, to notify the case forthwith to the Chief Inspector of Factories at the Home Office; and a similar obligation is imposed on the occupier of a factory or workshop to send written notice of every such case to the Certifying Surgeon and Inspector of Factories for the district.
