TRICHINOsIs.-Professor DeIpech, of
the Paris Faculty of Medicine, and Pro-
fessor Reynal, Of the Imperial Veterinary
School at Abort, who, as already stated,
were charged with a mission to study
the above-named disease in Germany,
both in human beings and mammals,
have just presented to the Minister of
Agriculture, Commerce, and Public
Works a report of the results of their in
vestigations at Huy (Belgium), Hanover,
Magdeburg, Berlin, Halle, Dresden,
Leipsic, and Mayence. To render their
investigations more complete, they soil
cited and obtained the cooperation Of
most Of the eminent German physicians
who had made the disease in question their
especial study. The chief practical facts
ascertained are as follows The epide-
mic trichinosis lately prevalent 10 Ger
many has now almost entirely disappear
ed. The mortality was everywhere slight,
except at Habersleden. At ZWickau,
Se~ltendorf, and SommerfeId, there were
SO patients, not one of whom died. In
every CdS0 JIG ulSedS6 was caused ny eau
ing imperfectly cooked pork containing
trichines, a case of rather frequent occur
renee in Germany. In Hanover, in 81
months, out of 25, 1000 pigs, II were found
full of trichines, 16 out of $4,000 in
Brunswick, and four out of 700 in BIak-
enburg. The animal while living shows
no signs of their presence, nor can they
be detected in the meat with an ordinary
magnifying- glass, but a powerful micros-
cope renders them distinctly visible.
The utility of a microscopic inspection
of pigs flesh by competent observers is
so evident that many of the German Gov
ernments have rendered it obligatory,
and MN. Delpech and Reynal would not
hesitate to recommend it in any country
contaminated with trichinosis, but they
think it unnecessary in France, where no
case of the disease has yet been noticed.
In Germany the hospitals receive many
patients suffering from this affection
during last year there were IS at Magde-
burg, of whom only one died. Post
norton examinations have also shown,
among persons who died from other d.
seases, numerous cases Of old trichinosis
cured by the encystment of the parasites.
