A Thoughtful Treatise on the Ter
rOrs of TrichinOsis.
Siren Song Of the Seductive Sausage
The POry Parasite Properly Branded
for Ii nelly identification.

Having been frequently urged to give
my views upon the matter Of trichiuosis. and
having repeatedly excused myself heretofore
IN all cases, it NAV be well to briefly touch
upon the subject in the interests Of scientific
and perhaps international progress.
If the American hog is invested with tri-
chime SPiralis l. for onr de- not favor his
use as an international beverage. Here
and m Boston, where the American hog is
largely cooked with the baked bean-which
acts a. an antidote t. tn" spiral worm of
commerce-the danger is slight. hut when
We consider that Bismark : constituents eat
ham. sausage, and even fresh pork, raw, /,
is apt to prove disastrous on foreign shores.
The spiral worm when raised to the l6Oth
degree (Fahrcnheit). Is not dangerous TO
health, and it Is urged BY some that when
well done he adds to the flavor of pork
Trichinw spirolis is a parasitic. quiescent,
euCySted, nematoid worm. The cash sub

definition freely and cheerfullv and he i

He NAV also tie line to it and fish with it

The trichinW remains encvSted SOM
times for wears. He has encvsted on doing
this ever since myself aud other scientists
discovered him. Why he should voluntarily
continue his career a. nematoid parasite,
/ can not at this moment explain. How
ever, am still engaged in nv laboratory

much larger words in it than this has.
Dresden had eleven trichiuT epidemics
from 1850 to lST2 and in l>65, at Heders-
lcbcn. out of 100 people 500 hal trichi-
disagrceable death to die. Ham sand
wichdS al railroad eating houses do not con
tain trichinP There NAV have bean trich-
inae in taem when the sandwiches w"r'
new, bvt there are none now. Trichine
can stand everything except eteroity. Even
the spiral worm must at last yield to the
wheeling cycles of relentless years. Put
little mustard on railroad sandwich, and
you can eat il as safely, So far as trichinr
Is concerned rs YOU could a slice of old red

| will now describe the trlchinR so that if
any reader of this scientific treatise should
meet one on Arapahoe street he could mo-
tity the police.
When the little trichine is born into this
world OF sin, and before he gets his eyes
open, he is about l-2OOth of an inch in
length, and rather pale, with sad look in
the face. At this age he should he taken
to some secluded spot and Paris green
should be sprinkled on his or her tail as
the case NAV be.
In a week after the birth Of the trichiur
it may be found some distance away, and
quite active. He NAV be found when ten
DAYS old as far east rs the southeastern part
of the diaphragm, or he may drift north to-
ward the liver.
We should learn from this to shun the
first temptation TO indulge in the madden
ing sausage for one by one it will weld Its
seductive links about YOU till at last Ypa are
its slave. Let US take warning from Others
