as well US the casing as the gut Is
now called, are frequently the abode
Of micro organisms.
1t In these micro.organism that
cause appendicitis.
The word appendicitis means an In.
Illumination Of the vermiform appendix,
which lies In the lower right hand cor.
ner Of the abdomen.
The vermlform appendix II q sack

1t Is 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 is made by the Beef Trust,
eats through all the human intestncs,
and, playing NO fav0rites, IL always
fatal.
But the bad meat microbe, which
causes appendicitis, has not strength
enough to bore through the intestincs.

Now the city inspection has been
stopped aud that 1t was always the
habit to use the carcases Of cancerOus

jawed cattle for food than ever. On
the very day that the city discontinued
Its inspection and condemnation, the
Commissioner OF Health OF Chicago H.
sued the following remarkable instruc'
tions In his bulletin Of December 80
1905:
"rhe Commissioner has issued the
following instructions to the chief in
spector ut the Union Stock Yards:
"'While actinomycosis Is usually
confined to the head, and may be said
In one sense to DO a localized disease
and while some inspectors condemn
only the part involved, believe 1t II
safest and most practicable to condemn
the entire carcass wherever the acti
nomycOtic abscess opens into thu
mouth, pharynx, larynx or any part OF
the digestive or respiratory tract; O
when the Emphatic glands are involS
ed; or where there are electromagnetic
tumors In the lungs; or when the 10
siOns have become generalixed, since
generalization In actinOmycosis appears
to run u very atypic course. making
the detection Of all f0ci inside thu
muscle very difficult; therefore. the en-
tire carcass Ia to be condemned.
"In cases where the actinomycotit
LESSONS are positively localized, the in
fected part may be cut away and thu
remains Of the carcass used.
""These instructions apply only t.
"lumpy jaw" There may be other
. reasons why You should want to con

But you should never hesitate to con
