In 1872 and 1873 numerous American sides and hams were 
found infected at Frankfort. 
At Leignitz 26 American hams were examined and but two 
were found infected. 
In 1873 and 1874 at Magdeburg, 7,000 to 8,000 swine were 
examined, and but two found infected. 
At Stettin , Erfurt and oilier places, American pork came in 
for its share of condemnation. 
1875 and 1876 at Frankfort, out of 8,000 swine examined, 4 
were infected. 
1875 and 1876 at Gulen, 16 in 1,800 swine examined, 1 was 
infected. 
At Minden, 59 pieces of American pork were found diseased. 
Statistics with reference to the per cental infection of swine 
with trichinae in England and France, as well as other continental 
countries, seem to be entirely wanting. 
* Of 622 American sides examined at Rostoch, 12 were found 
infected. 
Of 210 pieces examined at Gothenburg, 8 were found in¬ 
fected. 
At Elbing 2 per cent, of those examined were found trich- 
inous. 
In Schleswig-Holstein, of 5,673 pieces examined, 47 were in¬ 
fected. 
Examinations made in Germany in 1877 report 343 cases of 
infected American pork, and 183 cases of trichiniasis among 
human beings.
