Be Careful In Buying Court
Plaster.

Court plaster. said to have been dis
tributed by German sympathizers, has
been found on chemical analysis by the
Department of Justice to contain tetanus
germs Attorney General Gregory has
warned the public to use only court plas-
ter from reliable sources.
The Department of Justice has author
lied the following statement relative to
its investigation Of sales Of poisoned plas-
tiers in various sections Of the United
States:
THE Department Of Justice without
sharing in any sensational view as to the
manner in which sticking plasters or court
plaster became infected. states that some
Of the samples submitted and analysed
have been thereby shown to contain teta-
nus germs. The public is consequently
cautioned against purchasing this remedy
except from approved sources. The warn
ing is particularly directed against pur-
chases in small packages from street ped
oilers and vendors"
