Anthrax brush warning issued for Montana readers
State Health Secretary Dr. W. F. Cogswell urged Montana men to boil and disinfect new shaving brushes after a Springfield Illinois report linked an anthrax case to a discarded brush. The alert noted a shipment of infected brushes from New York to 16 states, including Illinois, with no Montana shipments confirmed. An Illinois probe traced a Ridgefield Illinois case to a brush, while cautions remained to sterilize brushes before use.
