can be destroyed. In the following chapter the symptomology 
of trichinosis in man and animals are comparatively given and 
extensively treated, followed by the hygienic measures to be 
recommended as prophylactic and to be applied in Belgium. 
In conclusion Mr. Dele says: trichinosis is a disease often 
painful, sometimes fatal, produced in man by the use of raw 
swine meat containing trichina. 
In different European countries trichina have been found in 
salted or smoked pork of American import. In Germany these 
nematoids have been found in fresh as well as in preserved meat. 
To overcome the effects likely to follow the use of the meat 
suspected of being trichinized, there is indication for those com¬ 
ing from the United States of America: 1st. to stop entirely the 
introduction of sausages into Belgium ; 2d. to have microscopical 
examinations of all other meat of pork imported, and perhaps 
to mark that recognized as free from trichina; 3d. to transform 
that recognized to be infected; 4th. to vulgarize the fact of the 
entire innoxiousness of the trichinized meat when sufficiently 
cooked. 
These are the means by which one may avoid being eaten by 
worms , as Zundel said in 1864, or else to abjure one’s religion 
and to become Jew, as proposed by the Chicago Tribune.
