THREE WHO ATE BEAR MEAT ARE

Three very serious cases Of rare dis.
ease, trichiuosis, the green's Of which We're
heretofore known To exist only in swine
and transmitted to man by eating pork
not thoroughly cooked have developed
IN the vicinity of Orleans Bat instead OF
being caused by eating pork it was trans
mitted by eating the meat of a bear killed
a short time ago by Mr.. Baldwin of Bald
wins Mil, one of the victims. Both Mr..
ana Mrs Baldwin are seriously i'll as well
as their son-in-law, l.. X Heath, and
Mrs Heath was taken m with the same
disease sunday. Trichuosis is caused by
eating meat which is filed with trichnosis
worms thus getting them into the bowels
and finally INTO the muscles, in which
stage the disease is inCUrlhle. In tho last
g. years there have been, i'm the United
states. only 500 cases, that being one case
to TWO million people per year. twenty
five per cent. Of the cases are fata!. Mr.
and Mrs. Heath are prominent people in
