The word appendicitis means an in.

The vermiform appendix II q sack

1t IL into this resting place that the
microbes crawl and cause trouble.
The real trichina microbe, which Is
very abundant In pork, and for which
no search IL made by the Beef Trust,
eats through all the human intestines,
and, playing NO favorites, ID always
fatal.
But the bad meat microbe, which
causes appendicitis, has not strength
enough TO bore through the intestines.

Now the city inspection has been
stopped aud that 1t was always the
habit to use the carcases OF cancer0us
or lumpy jawed cattle after the can
GERS were cut out, the public ID prob

jawed cattle for food than ever. On
the very day that the city discontinued
Its inspection and condemnation. the
Commissioner Of Health Of Chicago 10.
sued the following remarkable instruc'
lions In bis bulletin Of December 80,
1906:
"The Commissioner has issued the
following instructions to the chief In
spectOr at the Union Stock Yards:
"'While actinomycosls 10 usually

In one sense to be q localized disease,
aud while some inspectors condemn
only the part involved. ! believe It ID
safest aud most practicable to condemn
the entire carcass wherever the acti.
nOmycotic abscess opens into the
mouth, pharynx. iarynx or any part Of
the digestive or respiratory tract; o
when the Emphatic glands are inv0l
ed; or where there are electromagnetic
tumOrs In the lungs; or when the le.
siOns have become generalIxed. since

to run q very atypic course. making
the detection Of all f0ci inside the
muscle very difficult; therefore. the en-
tire carcass 10 to be condemned.
"'In cases where the electromagnetic
LESSONS are positively localized, the In.
fected part may be cut away and the
remains OF the carcass used.
