THE HOG DISEASE.
II Spreads Through Southern Illinois.

CHESTER, Ill, June 24.-The hog
disease in this county, and spreading
throughout Southern Illinois tia fearful
rate, is proving too much for those who
have attempted to deny its existence,
that only few hogs had died, and the
reports heretofore given were mere i'm
asination, for the sake Of getting up an
item--a hog sensation.
y letter from Carbondale, Jackson
county, Illinois, "reports that the chol
era is fcarfully prevalent among the
hogs Of that and surrounding counties,
apd the disease spares but few along its
line of devastation
The foregoing will apply as in sim
pie facts as to the destruction of hogs
by some unknown disease in this sec
ton Of Raupolph county. Some call
1t cholera, while others believe it to be
trichina, that is sweeping the swine
family from the face of the country
here. Fit is trichina, there is not
so much danger to be apprehcnded
from the use Of pork as though it were
some other loathsomc disease.
luchina can be killed by cooking,
while other affections cannot even boz
reached with fire, and may prove to be
the terrible end Of hundreds of peoplo.
Ofcoursc, thoscwh deal largclyin pork
fear the consequence of these reports.
The producer and packers pockets arc
touched, aud, if this thing continues
heavily but this prevail,
ing malady may cost more
than money can ever replace
thousands Of human liyes-and this
Is why so much has been said with re-
ference to this matter. The disease is
daily spreading, and there is no telling
now where it will stop, and it is much
safer to put people on their guard now
at the outset about the use of pork
than to wait until mischief has been
done that can never be repaired.

operation is simple in the extreme, and
the swimmer or immersed person has
