ANTHRAX PROBLEM
ACTION TO BE TAKEN IN BRITAIN. INFECTION FROM IMPORTED HAIR. (British Official Wireless.) Rec. 5 p.m. Rugby, Feb. 16. The Home Secretary, Sir John Gilmour, stated to-day that experts of his department had solved the anthrax problem. The dread disease, it had now been found, came from goat hair imported into England and used in many industries.
For a considerable time experts at an experimental station had been working on the problem and, the solution found would necessitate the Home Secretary asking industry to send all imported goat hair to the centre to be disinfected, in order that risk to the works handling it might be wiped out.
