Paper Collars.— We have heard a
great deal lately about the effects of glazed
paper collars, and recently saw a gentleman
who has been wearing them, and has bn
neck badly poisoned by them. Wc have,
also, heard of another case in this city.
These instances convince us that there is
danger in wearing them, aid we publish
them as a further warning to any who maj’
still have doubts upon the subject. It is
more prudent to be cautious aud avoid the
use of these collars.
