eB- A man died in New York few
days ago of trichinois, after prolonged and
very intense suffering. The origin of the
horrible disease was traced to piece of
| pork, of which the deceased and his family
sparingly partook about Christmas, and
which no doubt contained trichinae spiralis
The frequency of deaths from this cause,
and the terrible sufferings of the victims of
trichinae, have led to number of scientific
! Investigations by members of the Academy
| of Natural Sciences. These investigations
proved that this parasitic worm was to be
found in nearly all cats and dogs, and even
in horses. That they are common in hogs
is we'll known, but it is not so we'll known
that they are very tenacious of life, and
that they live and thrive under circum-
stances which would cause the destruction
of almost any other living thing. Those
! who are in the habit Of eating pork will do
we'll to bear this fact in mind and see that
| it is thoroughly cooked always.
