LOGCAL MISCELLANY. THE TRICHINZR, An interesting ongo of trichinayls waa oxam- Ined yontordny moruing ot the Rush Modieal Collego. Last Docembor, thoaubjoot, Mr.Wallaco M. Blood, of Grimloll, Town, nto a pleco of pork which waa aftorward found to contain trichinm spirales, 'Lliroo dnys Intorho was takon with purging and soon aftor with vomiting, Ifo took to his bod and romaltiod thore five waoks, Dur- ing this timo his foot nnd limbs wore grontly #wolled, Iio conld not strotoh his logs out straight withotit making all his muaclea acho. Novortholess ho had no patus on prossing on his muscles. . Ho bad grent thirst, profuso porapira- tion, and pnius in his back: could not breatho m\slfy; could not turn himself in bed, nor uso his oyes woll; had no np?ullto, and gould not. Bloop well. At tho ond of five woeks, ho had o preat longing for pork, and, [;umug up ono day, o hartly brollad o ploco of” ham, bt did nob cook it through, Ha ato this and was takon worse very soon aftor, Dr. Norman Bridgo briofly reviowad the char- actor of tho symptoms of the patieut, and "ox- Flnhmd tho mannor in which the trichinw aro ntroduced into the musoles, where they soem to prefor to live, This cnso was_somowhnt different from many othors, in that tho pationt did not liave tho very sovero pains in tho muscles that are usnal in cugon of trichinosis. This was probably due to tho fact that the numbor of trishinm in'his sys- tem was not Jarge, & Tho lecturor furthor oxpresded tho opinion that tho trichine aro carried by (he circulation, and that they aro not dopendent upon their sim- ple nbility to crawl. From tho raptdity of mo- Non of tho trichinm, it seoms impossiblo that . 9oy should erawl through the tigsues in such o short spaco of timo. Dr. Dridgo thon oxamined tho mothods of proventing tho disoare, It has boen found that o hont of 100 deg. Fahronhott kills the animals, Honco, if tho hent is raised to the bDllluH point, 212 deg,, therowill bo no dangor from tho disoaso, It has boen said thut dry-salting meats will kill the trichinm, but it is hardly a cortainty, Thero fore pork or any othor ment may bo safoly caton which has boou thoroughly coolted, but there 18 no absoluto eortuin mothod of preventing tho pmlwngnuuu of the nuimals, oxcopt thorough oooking. Tlhio treatment ghould be ns prompt a8 possis ble on discuvering tho symptons, ' Rest and nursing were among the fivst essontinls, In ‘most eaeos, dinrrhoa was one of the carly symp- toms, nud its offect was benoficial, since muny of tho trichium were thus earried ont of the bowols. Dr, Dridgo cited tho caso of & sailor who ate n pieco of partly-cooked sausage, and waa shortly afterward brought to the flIBEnnunry for tront- ment. ‘Tho diagnosie was that of & probablo enso of typhoid fover, and, about threo weols lntor, whon Dr, Bridgo taok ohargo. of tho o tient, tho treatwent bad boen for fover. o took a pioco out of the arm of tho man and found 's_largo number of tho worms jn ity By this. Lme ho wns vory fooble, and o died about two woehs later. In thin ingtanco thero wae no diarrhea, and though the number takon mto tho stomach was origi- nally small, they all probably multiplied, sud nouo woro earriod off, 5 Theo final destination of the animals 18 prin- cipally in tho muecles of the oxtremitics, though they aro found in small nambers in all of the muscular tissues oxoept the muscles of tho heart, 8o far ns known, none have ever been found thero. Thoy scom to have proferences for tho large muscles of the arms aud legs, and also for tho musclosof tho oyes. In patients who re- cover, thoy aro found oncyated in theso muscles in a dormant state. Thoir colls aro fually coat- od with phosphate_of lime, probably derived from the blood, and, in this condition thoy do not irritate tho muscles, nor sorlously affoct tho heulth of the patient. In casos, howaver, whero thoy are in very groat numbers, tho ‘museles may ‘bo 8o grently doteriorated by their presouco as to induce o general decay, porticularly Iate in lifo, and death may rosult from dabilitation in such casos, or paralysis may ensue. Asa rulo, howover, whera tho numbor is not very great, the patient, after » completo recovory, will main- tain his usnal Lonlth, independent of the pros- enco of tho trichinm 1 his musclos. Whero diarchon is not inducod by tho irrita- tion of tho trichinm thomuclves, strong cathar- ticn should be given at flrst, whenever thoir presouco is positively assurod. This will olear out mony of the animals from the stomach be- foro they breod. In Enurops, bonzino hns boon cmployed at thig stago, but its success s not ‘Dbusy g0 certain a8 to Jusure its uso in oll cases, T'ho putient should have rest and cave, and should be given tonies to keop up tho strongth. Indeed, from tho timo tho young trichinm are brought forth, it is 2 moro trinl of strength botweon their power of irritation ~ and tho patient’s power of endurance, Ience, everything should bo dono to allay the ivritation and strengthen the suffor- er. Anodynes aro recommonded whore the pa- tient suffors grently. As the trichinno “flually sottlo themselves per~ manontly in thp muscles, and collect o snc or cell of ligament which becomos conted with phosphate of lime, Dr. Adams rocommonds that n mixturo of lime-wator and milk bo givan 1n ag largo quantitics as tho patient will drink. At the samo timo, o diluto solution of phosphoric reid should be given, sweetonod and mixed with ginger syrup oc anything of similar charactor, The former will nct a8 a tonic and allny the diar- rhen, which should bo stopped after thoe first fow days ou nccount of its weakening offects, The Jimo and phosphorio acid will combine to form phosphate of limo in the blood, and the trichinie will thus become sooner encysted. These are about tha only romedios that are of known beonefit at the pregent tlme, and 08 tho patient must suffer & gront deal m any cnso, tho best thing to insure frecdom from the (llt;cnfln is to cook all moat thoroughly boforo cating, Mr.gmaod, who attouded tho lecture to glve Lis experience, was ono of thivteen porsons 1y- ing near Griunoll, Iowa, who woro taken ill about threo months ago, His wife and brother died in about tive weoks, and ho has a sister at Tome in n Lelpless condition at tho presont timo, It is dififeult to toll whothor she will recover or not. Mr, Blood hos some pain still in his mus- cles, but, 08 hio was only lightly attacked, it is probable that ho ts now rapidly recoveriug. ‘I'ho fact which noods to bo mest strongly im- ressed upon the public is, that mont, partien- arly pork, cannot possibly do barm if thorough- Iy cooked, but that trickinm may exist In auy nioat, and may therefore got into the system by eating uncooked or partly cooked flosh. e THE SOCIAL EVIL, An adjournad meeting of tho Boards of Health and Polico was held yesterday afterncon for the purposo of resuming the considoration of tho subjact of rogulating tho social evil, It will bo remombored that the meoting one week ago ad- journed in ordor to obtain an opinion from the Corporation Counsol a8 to the authority of either of tho Boarda to tako action looking towsrd regulation. Thoro woro prosont the full Board of Police, Dr. Miller, Dr. Hahn, and Mr, Hook, of tho Board of Honlth, and Mr, Cameron, As- slstant City Attornoy. Lator on, Bupt, Hebm and Ald, Corcoran and Foloy came ju, Dr, Hahn presided. Dr. Millor called on Mr. Cameron for an opln- fon on the subjact of powor, “Lowor to what?" was Br, quiry. Dr. Miller snid he meant power to enforea sanitary regulntions, & Mr, Bheridan saiul polico officors had told him thers wore 200 women in tho ofty who wern trighttully disonsod, and yet plying their voca- tion, Ho had thoufillt it waa vory desirnblo that tho Board of Health tako some stepd to provent the Aprend of Gisoso Dr. Millor auid that the Corporation Counsol bad been axked to give an opinion, but he had sot boen honrd from, . A PERSONAL OPINION. Mr, Camoron said ho wos 1ot owere of this, As a mattor of courtesy, ho wonld give 8 por- .sonnl opivion. He would not spesk for tho Dopartment, Tho Board of Houlth had largor powers_ than any other Board in the sity, Ilo quoted the scction rolating to ektilentinl diseases, and showod that, undoer ft, tlio Bonrd had tha power to placo prostitutos in hospital, If their discase was infections or con- lagious.

In this connoction, Dr. Miller sald it wag & no- torious fact that thero was in Chicago no hospi- ial whore porsond suffering with veneronl dis- saso could bo treated geatutitonsly, It was the only city of any size {n America ‘of which this soutd bo safd, and it was a shame that persons nnablo to pay for medical trontment must dio for wint of it Mr, Camoron holioved tho Board could demand of the Common_Conneil _an n];urnprlnnnu for thiy purpose, Firet, tho Board should uscortain Camoron's in- whothor I had the powor to rogulate, restrain, and oxaming; and, 1f it bad the power, thon it would bo necensary Lo provide a place for aucit dionsod porsous, g aiostion. was, primarily, whother . vonoreal disonsos wers proporly clagsed undor the hoad of contagious diseason, DOCTORR DIRAGREE, Dr. Miller wau cloarly of tho opinfon that thoy ahould be koelassed,anil Dr. Bohlootzor conourred i {hat opinion, Dr, Hahn contended that venoreal disonscs woro not {ncluded in tho *contaglous” category. Dr, Millor adnuttod that thoy wero not conta- glous in tho sonso that pmall-pox, moasles, whooping cough, ote., woro, but thoy woro so in tho sense defined by medical authorltlos—* by direct or indirect contact,” Dr, 1laln maintained that vonoronl disenses conld only bo contrnotad by inoculntion, . Mr, Camovon inclined to” tho bolief that tho contaglous discases mentioned in the chiarter did not includo venoreal disoasca Mr. Shoridan narrated s . aso, told lum by Dr. Baxtor, whoro six oascs of syphilia wore con- tracted fromone cso in ono night. Waa it possiblo that somothing could not be dono to provont guch a wholeanle sproad of disenso ? Dr. Miller believod 1t waa possible to do it. e quoted from Dungloson to show that syphilia ‘was clnsged a8 & contngionn disenso. Mr, Shoridan uafd that if it was trno that tho aproad of voneronl disonso was laying the foun- dation for futuro genorations of “discased off- #pring, thon it.was o mattor [Aropufly within the control of tho Board of Hoalth, A WOMAN'S LETTER. Mr. Russoll, Bocretary of tho Board, read a communication recoived through the malls, and evidontly writton by s woman, addressed to tho Boarda of Healthand Pollco, Bho bolioved thoro was noed of n rogulnted nnd systomatized mode of prostitution, and that, in" ordor to provent disonsed women from becomiug dangorous, it would b woll to establish a hospital, to be main- tained by assossmonts upon prostitutes engaged in carning monoy. Proourers, procurosses, and Iibortinon should " be sovercly punished, and pa- ‘onta shonld bo moraloniont toward thofr daugh- tors who had ignorantly orred, Mon woro mainly to blamo for tho annusl contributions to tho ranks of prostitutes, for they tired of thaso tuoy bad soon and known, The writor deolined to aflix hor J)mpar aignature, but signed hereolf: * A friend aud would-bo holpor of my fallen slstors, and ono eagor to sea thom lifted out of tho depths of pordition.” Dr, Miller rend from n ropart to show that in 8t. Louis, alxeo tho eatablishmont of tho Social Evil HnsL)itnl, tho porcentago of discased woman among_ thoro ongaged in prostitution had de- creasod from 12 to 6 por cent. Mr, Blioridan statod that boforo the fire in Chicago the Fnllco mado an annual report of tho number of housos and inmatos, as woll os stroot-walkers, Supt. Relim_atated that thers wero now in tho Bouth and Weat Divisions 176 Louscs of ill-fame, known a8 such, There wero none in tho North Diviafon. Mr, Bheridan oxpluined that ‘this did not fn- cludo prostitutos who plied thoir vocation in business-blocks, ote, NO RESULT.

Thisis really a very im- portant matter, and one to which thoe attention of the Committes ks beon ealled by tho Board of Firo Commissioners and tho Firo Marshal.

A largo proportion of the alarms given ara caused h{ the fircs in foul chimneys, and overy timo an larm is given it conts ibio city from &00 to 80, A year ago last July an ordinance in rogard to tho snmo Bubjoct was presonted to the Conncil, for considoration, but, s it seemed to be creat- ing an oflico that would give to the incnmbent about $20,000 8 year, the question was dropped for the timo. The mooting bogan with tho reading by Ald.

At the conclusion of tho reading, Ald, Stono gave a history of the former attempt to rogulate tho matter by an ordidance, and why it failed, Ho thought that the oftice should not bo in the gitt of tha Council, but that the appointment, like that of Iiro Warden, should be made by tho Bonrd of Fire Commissioners, This bang o ovidontly just, all voncnrrod in it, Intho mate tor of puy, tho samo Aldorman thought that the throe men and tholr assistants should be paid a rogular salary, fixed by the Couucil, and that the foos arislug from tho chimney-sweoping should g3 Into the City Troasury, aud not roudor the ollico ono that would * pay bottur” than tobe Marshal, Ald, Malr's long exporience In munleipal af- foirs hnd led him to boliove that, if the salary rystem wore onco introduced, esoh distriot- swooper would require five assistants whore ono would answer it he wore rocelviug the foes in- stond of paying them over to the city, and, Emmnvor, the work would not be nearly as well lono, Ald, Foley proposed a plan, which seemed to meot with gonoral &pproval, and will undoubted- ly ba adopted.

Now, I am & bank-clerk and have tho intorests of my follow-clerks at hoart, Yet I canuot countenance a misstatoment of faots, or the placing ourselves mn the light of objects of charity, when I know that thore ls mot omo bank-olork in this city who stands in nood of nssistenco. Knowlng this to bo s fact, I con- sider theso bollowing bqunra to_bo unworthy tho name of bank-olorks, it indoed tho begging Iottors v Doon writlon by gouuino banke colorka, ~Thoy claim that all of thls monoy was donated by the bank-clorks of Now Yorl, and tuat only oightoon of the olerks horo have ro- oolyed anything from if. Now tho'facts in the case aro simply ns fol- lows: lmmedmol; aftor tho firo, tho ** Bank Clerks' Agsociation of New York donated for tho rollof of the destituto bank clerks hero, about 88,800, which was duly distrlbuted to thoso clorks who wero most noedy, Soino six months Intor the Banlors of Now York donated $27,000 for ths samo purFoao, making in alf over §30,000 Tacelved. Out of this the bank clorks have re- coived §26,000,—ovar 100 bauk clorke sharing in tho dintribution of tho samo. Buch dlstribntion was made undor and by the diroction of a come mitteo, namoly: Messra, Schnoidor, Lllis, and Rattor, appointed by the Banlk Presidents, And yot those bopgars, who have besn dab- bling in priuters' ink, and seeking notorioty by assatling the charnotor of Mr. Coolbaugh, who was simply tho custodian of tho mouoy, and, it fact, tha chiarotors of nll the other bank Presi- denta in tho city, would have it appoar thrt they (tho bank Presidents) woroe trying to dofraud them out of thoir just duos, The cate of Alr: Charlos Kilbourno, who has complained vory bittorly of belng dnfrmulud. is no doubt a fair illustration how unworthy theso comgh\hl(ng bank olorks aro of_consideration at tho hands of tho Committes.
