see some one giving a remedy for hog

il is apparent that all treatment Inns
hitherto proved futile. The true pathol-

sable to n successful treatment Yet but
few have even theorized upon the nature
Of the disease, and to-day the majority OF
hog -raisers are as ignorant about the true
nature Of the disease as they were when
it first made its appearance, and even the
scientific would have been slow to invcs-
tigate the disease, though microscopic
researches have proyea tn. disease to be
Trichniassis, that is, the muscles are in>
iected with living parasites (rrishoAa)
only seen by the aid of the microscope,
These parasites ars usually found in
the muscles, about seven thousand IN
number to the square inch. When taken
in the stomach, they are set free by the
action Of the gastric juice, and they then
commence growing, and in the course Of
ten days they haze attained two or three
times their former size. The female Of
the parasite soon contains large nSmbefs
of young, from 500 to 400 in number
The young, after birth, soon migrate
through the alimentary canal, and find
their way to the muscular system, and in
short time the whole system lie perfectly
saturated with living Trich@na. Henc,

bility; muscular atrophy, decay &c
TO prevent the disease, all diet obtaining
parasites should be cut of. Hogs should
not be allowed any flesh whatever
dead mice. rats, snakes, in fact all ANNA
food should be abstained from. Atel
the disease has once developed, we doubt
whether Az tssatment will destroy th'
