That from the cases of trichinosis that came under our observation, and the *r post mortem .examinations, and the ef- x fects upon the dog that was fed on the an diseased meat, we.have come to the con- mu elusion that ninety per cent of disease sav Droduced from eating trichinous pork f appears either asgastroenteritis, or as a diarrhoea or dysentery, and not more tor than ten per cent as the fully developed Th form of trichinosis, in which the mus- an( cular system become affected. . That as diarrhoea, dysentery and en- ln teritis rank high as causes of mortality 1 in the United States, these diseases * ' causing thirty-one thousand one hun- ' dred and fifty-three deaths in 1870, as Pa' shown by the last census reports; and thr as we have seen that a large amount of did trichinous pork, capable of producing these diseases, is among the principa' articles of food in our country: we tin think it more than probable that 8aj(' trichina? have a much greater influence in the etiology of this class of diseases than has been recognized by the profes- ttie sion. r That it is highly probable that, when , the fact becomes more generally known ae? that so large a percentage, of pork is swarming with trichinae, capable of pro- to I ducing disease, it may have an effect in upon the use of this meat, and consenuentlv effeet the sale, to some extent, ( of one of the principal articles of com- to merce in the West. saj( aw Grumblers and the Press.?Ev- boc ery journalist must have felt what the jeI New York Herald expresses in tins paragraph : "The truth is that there Is 1 scarcely a newspaper published from cer qne end of the year to the other that y01 will not, if critically considered, give * offence to somebody in the community. n> The politician object3 to the way his oH speech is reported. The buyer of one dieset of shares is offended because the money column reports another set as * going up or going down. Gentlemen du< who find themselves in the hands of the oflfc police are grieved at the license of the press whlcn report their arrangement . and trial among the nolice proceedings. The sympathiser with France is offend- )T?l ed at letters from Berlin, and the believer n in German unity mourns over dispatch- . es from Paris. The newspaper thus of- scri fends some one, just as the weather? we< rainy to-day and sunshiny to-morrow? fror is sure to annoy somebody. The com- at, , mon sense view is that the newspaper is rpif* the history of yesterday written to-day: that is the mirror of the time, and that I those who conduct it care nothing for nea individuals, except to do theui justice." acrj pie ROCOCO.
