Boll Now Shaving Brush.

When you buy a shaving brush, boll It, thoroughly before using it or leave it for four hours, in a 10 per cent dilution of formaldehyde liquor at 110 degrees F. Rimer of these methods will protect yob from anthrax. Before the war there was little danger from the shaving •brush, as almost all of these were made from hair that had been thoroughly disinfected in France er Germany; but after 1914 the hair came direct from Bosnia and China via the Pacific ocean, and twenty canes of anthrax have .been traced directly to this source. As 04 per cent of.anthrax cases'are fatal it behooves us to be extra careful, in spite of the fact that human susceptibility is low-how low is indicated by the fact that only one case la known to have developed from a lot of I<MX» inflected brushes. /
