Fun fact: many hatters back then went mad because of the gasses they inhaled from the hat-making process. The gasses were poisonous and messed with their heads, rendering them incapable of working properly. This donned the term "mad as a hatter."

Mercury compounds were used in the production of felt. The story goes that felt makers used to use urine to soften the felt (urine used to be used in the production of tons of things) and most of the felt makers would just use their own. But one felt maker had consistently better product, and it was because he was being treated with mercury for syphilis.

They knew what was causing it. It's just the industry didn't change, or the gov didn't create laws to protect the hatters from these chemicals, because the hatters had been using that treatment for so long that it was just a known fact that to be a hatter, you will be exposed over time. They couldn't make money without using those chemicals because there was nobody out there trying to invent something different.

The cartoonist at least doesn't have her at home, changing diapers and lighting her hubby's pipe, as though that's a woman's sole purpose.
