Jefferson, Sept. 1.-THE death of
Miss Kate Conant near this city mark
ed the end of a rare malady in Greene
county medical jurisprudence. The
young lady was afflicted with trichi-
nosis, or pork poisoning, caused by eat
ing some ham which had not been suf-
ficiently cooked. She was i'll with the
strange disease about four months. and
was the only one of the family to die,
altho all were poisoned at the time.
Several consultations were had upon
her case by we'll known medical
men. They found the germs in the
form of little worms thoroughly per-
meati1lg her flesh, every tissue of the
body seeming to be SO filled with them
that medicine could almost avail moth
ing After heroic treatment they dis
appeared into the joints. and hope was
had that she would recover. The long
strain was too much, however, and
friends and relatives were obliged to
give up long and severe battle against
the death angel. Rarely a case has
been cured, and then by keeping UP the
patients strength until the little worms
had become encysted and thereby rem
dered powerless from further evil.
