TRIOHINOUS INFECTION OF MAX AND ANIMALS. 175 



The claim is made that the southern hogs that roam free through

 muscle has been found to contain 85,000 trichina?, and forty millions 

 were estimated to be in the body of a man who died of trichinosis. 

 Thus far Germany has been ahead of any other country in the rec- 

 ord of cases and endemics. 



The following table shows the instances of trichiniasis in the United
