ABSTRACT
“All trades are dangerous, but none are so dangerous as that of doing nothing.” Such is the conclusion which has been hammered out of the gravest facts of industrial life by the facetious and ignorant, who themselves pursue with tenacity this object of their apprehension. It is not, however, to this class of mind that I would address myself, but to the wider company of thoughtful and serious people who recognise the gravity of the fact that illness and suffering are often the direct product of certain industrial employments.
