Trichtna SpirAli0.

The worm known as tricl,ina spiralis
is not easily destroyed by any means
except boiling, and then not without con-
tinued exposure to heat. The immature
worm is encased in shell something
like an egs-shell, and is thus protected
from injury. The mature worm lives in
the bowels, and there deposits its eggs.
The young worms produced from those
eggs penetrate the walls Of the intes-
tines and proceeds to bore into the mus
c!es, causing severe pains like those OF
rheumatism, When they have found =
resting place they stop and secrete the
substance Of their shell or cyst, and
there they remain until the flesh is eat
en- by some animal, when they are set
loose to begin life in the usual way. No
amount of freezing will kill these en-
cysted worms. The most frequent cause
OF the spread Of these worms are rats,
which devour the dung Of the infected
pigs, and are in their turn devoured by
the pigs.
