TRICHINAE AND CYSTICERCI IN PRUSSIA. 
467 
The number of swine affected with cysticerci (measles)— 
5,653 out of 4,421,208—is probably rather startling to Ameri- 
,ns, as we have no pork inspection in this country. It should be 
) less instructive, however, as the presence of the tape-worm, 
tsenia solium,” is no less comfortable to an American than a 
erman. 
The number of “ measly ” swine was greater at the Berlin 
rnttoir during this year than the previous.
