ee EVENING STAR. | Tux TRicnixa 18 DeTorr—Tae Dangers of Ba Fork.—One case Of ine epidemic called Trichina, which has recently excited somuch aiarm in Berlin, Praseia, has appeared in ety. abc proved fatal. The victim was a young lady, a German, whe was taken ill some time since, and calied Dr. Herman Ket- ter to attend her. Dr. K. was at first unable to tell the precise nature of the disease, but fin al ¢ ly became convinced thatit was of the same Bature as ihe Trichiva, whieh bas been known for come years in Germany, and which arises | from the eacng of disensed pork. The Trichi- | we Spirelis is © small microscopic worm or ; animaleate, which was first observed by the distinguished anatemist, Richard Owen, in 1835, and is found inthe muecles and intes- fines of various animals, especially pigs and Fabbits in suel) enormous quantities that in an ounce of pork, 1,000 of the animalent:: bave been found. By partaking of the meat mfected with them, they are transterred to the human boy, caneing intense enffering, fol- Jowed in mary cases'by a painfcl death. Dr. K. did bis utmost to reiie ve the intense suifer- Mee of his patients, but his efforts to save ber Mife were unayailinc. and she died about a week ago. After her deaih a post mortem ex- Qmingtion was held. which bas resulted in | roving beyond a doubt that the disease was Tichana. A mail portion of flesh, about the size of 3 pin-nead, was examined through the Mieroreope, and found to contain large num- bers of leulw, wound round and imted- | Ged in the fibres of the muscle, exactly similar ip appearance to the Trichina Spirals. This, We believe, is the only case of this disease that har ever been known ‘n this country. Dr. Keeler states that these animaicui are not destroved by smoking, or, as a general thing, by fryipg pork, but bard and long boiling is Recefsary to «fiectually destroy them.—Deiroit Tribune, Jan. Xi Cuicaco.—The Chicago Republican reports as ‘another mystery”: “Atan early hour yesterday morning officer Prince ef the Third Preeinct police, discovered | two Duman errs tying vpon the platform of the freight cepot of the Galena and Chicago Union rarircad, inet below State street bridge.” On which occasion the Cincinnati Commer- cial commenis “There is no mystery abont it. Those limbs | were undoubtedly ejected from abydraat, and then blown about by the wind until found.
