About 14 days ago, while handling wool at Botany scouring works, Walter Cffoper, 24, scratched his left arm. A small eruption appeared some hours later and Cooper became ill and slightly delirious. The eruption had become an ulcer, and Cooper had contracted anthrax. He is now in hospital recovering after injections of antianthrax scrum.
