Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Creighton Chronicle, Vol. 9: May 20, 1918
Mercury poisoning, though not a frequent industrial danger, may be found among those employed in the manufacture of mirrors, thermometers, barometers, electrical apparatus, and in the mining and separation of ores containing mercury. As this metal is easily vaporized, its use in confined space where high temperatures are maintained is always dangerous. Practically all salts of mercury as well as the metal itself, are capable of causing poisoning.
