with a view TO this particular point. and
the result was as follows: In the trees

nests. The remaining one hundred and

Especially in villages the bird visitors
seem a very sociable race. II is pleas

Danger Of Eating Raw Ham.

A few months ago a woman died in
Berlin of trichinosis. The case has just
been brought before the courts, and
during the trial some interesting facts
regarding the nature and effects of this
disease were brought TO light. As usual,
the disease was caused by the reckless
German custom of eating raw ham. The
ham in this case was bought of "a man
who had previously sold several pigs
afflicted with this disease, his farm be-
ing situated near a place infested with
rats, which are known to be generally
infected with trichinosis. Not only the
woman who died but all the members of
her family showed symptoms of the dis
ease vomiting, pain in the muscles,
general exhaustion. swelling of the face.
etc; but they all recovered under care
ful treatment, while some other persons
who partook of he ham escaped
altogether. The defendant urged that
the woman's death was not caused by
trichinosis, but by the morphine which
she was in the habit of using: and
though it was proved that her death
was directly caused by lrichinOsiS. vet
this fact was allowed as n mitigating
circumstance and the vender of the ham
condemned TO only fourteen DAYS i'm.
