(
W-shington,
D.

Oect.
Surgeon-
!
General Cumming, of
the United
States
‘
Public Health Service,
has just issued
a
fresh
warning against
the
use of
horse-
hair shaving brushes,
to which not
a few
cascs
of anthvax
bave
deen
traced.
[
He says;
'‘The Public
Health
Service
|
has
made
every effort possible
under
ex-
|
isfing laws
and
regulations
to
prevert
|
the occurrence
of anthrax due to infected
|
shaving
brushes,
but in spife of its effort
anthrax cases
occur
and will continue
to
|
occur unless
the public
ceases
to buy and
|
-
use horse-hair
brushes
for
shaving.
f
“*it is ibe
concensus
of expert
opinion
|
that shaving-brush
anthrax
is
contract-
|
ed
only
when
the
shaving
brush
si
|
made
of horse-hair;
and Congress
at
the
I
next
Session
wiil ve asked
to prohibit
|
the
use of
horse
hair for
that
purpose.
,
It is doubtful
however,
if any
effective
f
measures
can
be taken by
health officials
|
to curtail
the use of the
horse-hair
shyy-
|
ing brushes
now in trade
channels,
some
|
of
which
are
presumabiy
infected,
ex-
|
cept
a direct
warning to
the public
not
|
to buy
or use
such
brushes.
