WARNS SHAVERS
OF BRUSH GERMS
Dr.. Fowler Calls Attention to
Danger Of Anthrax in
HOrSehair.

A warning against the use OF
shaving brushes made from horse
hair was issued today by DR.. Will
liam C. Fowler, District health Of
ficer, in a letter sent to department
and sporting stores and wholesale
and retail druggists throughout the
city.
DANGER FROM ANTHRAX.
DR.. Fowler calls attention to a re-
cent statement OF the Surgeon General
of the United States Public Health
Service in which he declares there is
danger from anthrax through the use
Of such types of brushes.
Anthrax. DIR. Fowler points out is
found largely among cattle, is very
contagious and Is grave disease
when II attacks a human being.
His letter follows:
The Health Department is in re-
ceipt OF a communication from the
Surgeon General of the United states
Public Health Service. dated october
1, 1920, calling attention to the dan
ger from anthrax through the use
of shaving brushes made from horse
hair and warns persons against buy
ing and using such brushes. IT IL
understood that many of this type OF
shaving brush are In the trade chan
nels at the present time. some of
which are presumably Infected.
EASILY COMMUNICATED.
at should be clearly understood
that anthrax is a very grave disease
in man and Is readily communicated
through the use of infected brushes,
the infection generally entering the
body through some abrasion OF the
skin. In spite of the efforts OF the
United States Public Health Service
to prevent the spread of anthrax In
the manner indicated. the cases con-
tinue to occur.
while no case has developed in the
District of Columbia up to the present
time the Health Department, how
ever, believes that IL should add it's
word of warning to that already is
sued by the Public Health Service.
Anthrax is a disease which causes
skin eruptions and sometimes results
in death.
