says: There is no such thing as hog chol-

in the throat and glands o. the neck. and
typhus fever, where the glands OF the neck

which Is the most frequent and
is characterized by liberation OF the in
testinal glands, producing large amounts
of pus All physicians agree that animals
in which Inflammation has produced pus are
extremely dangerous for human food More
over, these diseases have tendency to
tuberculosis, a disease to which the hog Is
particularly liable 1t is also a well known
fact that meat from animals having had
tuberculosis will proiuce consumption in
those eating it The cause Of all the trouble
is that the farmers don't keep their hogs
in proper manner The hog is very sus-
ceptsble to surrounding Influences, and in
stead Of being kept as clean as possible the
filthy condition of a hog pen has become
