—Fatal cases of trichinosis have recently occurred in Michigan and Indiana. In both instances German families were the sufferers, and the victims had been eating uncooked swine's flesh. The pernicious habit of eating smoked or salted pork, without cooking it, retains its hold upon the Germans, notwithstanding the warnings of physicians and the frequent reports of disease and death resulting from the practice. It is this habit to which the great prevalence of trichinosis in Germany is to be attributed.-N. Y. Sun.
