| SHAVE, WASH, AND GET THE MUSTARD GAS OFF

| MUSTARD GAS SEEMED TO BE EVERYWHERE
|
| This gas was difficult to detect because it was practically odorless and invisible, and the concentration of only 1 to 100,000 was sufficient to put a man out of commission. Its effect was cumulative, lasting over a long period. Horses, as well as men, had to be washed whenever water and time were both available. |
