"Cootie" Annihilators for General Pershing's Army 



A train of modem sterilizing and fumigating wagons on its way to 

 Uncle Sam's boys on the battle front in France. This up-to-date 

 apparatus was designed by Dr. Leon L. Watters, of New York, 

 and Colonel F. H. Hartsock of the United States Medical Corps 



This apparatus will wage a war of extermination on the soldier's 

 enemy, the "cootie." It consists of a high-pressure steam boiler in 

 which the clothing of forty men can be disinfected in as many 

 minutes. The "cooties," or trench lice, are typhus-carriers, and must 

 be destroyed. Even aside from this they are uncongenial companions
