The study of parasites in general, and those which infest the human Body in particular has lately engaged the attention of learned entemolo gisjs, both at home and abroad, not’ only for scien tific inquiry into their origin and development, but for the laudable purpose of discovering the diseases, caused by their presence in the human system, and finding a remedy for those unpleasant and dangerous disorders. Looking at the speci mens of Trichina Spiralis before us, divested of their envelopes, disporting so lively, and display ing at each gyration, their fine markings and re ally bcantifui lines, it is scarcely conceivable that such minute atoms should, in any manner, be injurious to health. l,t seems scarcely worth while to speak of these things in a city, wallowing filth, whose police, sd far as sanitary regulations and personal comfort are concerned, might ns well be hurled forty feet under ground; but the ill healthand mortality of the winter just ended will not soon be forgotten, yet few will reflect on tho^cause.■ I Tlie Trichina Spiralis was discovered, in the muscles of a man, who had died of cancer, lit Mr. Hilton, of London, in the year 1862, ana describe by him soon after. Hie is entitled tjo much credit for this discovery, which has become of vital interest and yielded such lasting benefit. Great is the faculty of apprehension—-a thousand facts pass daily under the very nose of men whose minds are equally susceptible of the highest ap preciation of an idea* when fully presented, yet lacking tills admirable quality, they fail to recog nize a novelty and thus are lost many opportuni ties for the extension of knowledge. This extraordinary parasite was regarded for several years, as an entozoon, imperfectly organi zed; undergoing evolution and was afterwards shown to he the perfect animal after having passed through i:s transitions, to find- a destination and resting place in the muscles, bat no suspicion or suggestion was offered, for its being a not uncom mon cause of human disease. Great pains have been taken to record its natural history, by Profes sors Owens, Virchow, Lerckart, Welcker, Luscbka, Drs. Roehler, Koenigsdoerffer, Farre, Bristowe, Mr. Rainey, and many others- When observed in the muscles, or, in other words, its advanced condition, the Trichina , is a worm invested in a calcareous sac of ovoid form, of the size of a hair, curved spuMty on itself, al most transparent, varying in size from the 50th to the 1-35 part of aninch in length, and when be held by a microscope of good power, its outline can he distinctly traced. The question presents itself, how do these worms find their way into'theirmus cular habitat ? This mystery was solved by Prof. Herhst, in feeding with flesh swarming with them, warm-blooded animals which he killed a few days after ; and on examination of the victims, it was found these dormant worms had brought forth an enormous progency that completely stud ded- the stomach and bowels. Professor Lcuckart killed a dog, which bad been allowed to cat meat impregnated with abundance of Trichina, and found the intestines highly inflamed by their con tact, and was able to trace their course almost di rectly from the bowels to the muscles. Each fe male can produce in a few days, from GO to 100 eggs, which are rapidly changed into active and destructive beings, so that a simple multiplication will show what an innumerable family is suddenly created Soon after the Trichinae are taken into the stom ach the calcareous cryst is dissolved, they are set free, rapidly increase in size and activity, and when they have generated an enormous number of youug, which are soon ready to migrate to the muscles, they lapse into speedy decay, having fnlfiled their destiny. No instance of any effect upon the human sys tem caused by this curious being was recognized till 1860, when a girl, a servant in a batcher’s family, died at the Dresden Stadt Hospital under the care of Prof. Zenker, having suffered from vio lent pains in' the muscles, especially of the arms and legs, whose body, on examination, was found to contain an immense numberof these worms. A few days before she took sick, the batcher, with whom she lived had killed a pig, whose meat made inn* bams and sausages, when examined by the microscope showed, an abundance of Trichinte.— The butcher himself had been ill in nearly the same way for three weeks, and was for a time partly peryalized. A groat many instances of this mysterious poi soning have occnred within a few years, one of which took place in New York, in February last, when a whole family, one member of which died, by eating a hamwliieh was found Si ted with Trichime. We transfer one of. the most striking and interesting of these cases that took place at a festival, at which over one hundred per sons sat down to an excellent dinner, at Hettstadt, in upper Saxony. ‘■Of these one hundred and three persons, most ly men in the prime of life, over fifty are now in their graves ; the majority of the survivors linger with a fearful malady ; anti few only remain un scathed among the living in hourly fear of an at tack of the disease which has' carried away nearly all of their fellow-diners of that hapless day. ' ‘‘For: the. festival it was previously arranged, that the third; course should consist of BotUvttrsl tmd Gacuese, -and the hotel keeper gave the nec cessary directions to have the former article prop erly smoked. The butcher, on his part, went ex pressly to neighboring proprietor, and bought ione of two pigs from the steward, who had been cdm~ missioned with the-transactioni by his master. ; It appears, however, that the steward, unfortunately sold the pig which the master had not intended to sell, os he had not been snfficiently fat, or tyeil con ditioned. Thus the wrong pijj wss sold, carried on a harrow to the hntcher, killed and worked dp EDITORS AND I^OWEBferOK' into sausages. The sausages were duly smoked and delivered’ at the hotel. The; wdreftiedand served np to tbegoesteat thedinnet table. “On the day after the festival, seven! persons who had participated in the dinner were attached with irritation of the intestines, loss of appetite, great prostration, and fever. Tbs number of per sons rapidly increased; and a great alarm was ex cited in the first instance by the apprehension of an impending epidemic of typhus fever, with which the symtoms observed showed great similarity.— Some unknown poison was soon assumed to be at the bottom of the outbreak '; and an active inquiry into all the circumstances of the dinner was insti tuted. Every article of food and material was subjected to a. most rigid examination, without ■ any result in the first instance. But when the symtoms in some of the cases invaded the muscles of the leg, particularly the calves of some of the sufferers, the description which Zenker bad given of a case of fetal trichinoua disease was remember ed. The remnants of .sausage >nd of pork .em ployed in its manufacture wore examined with .the microscope, and found to be literally swarming with encapsulated trichina. From the suffering muscles of several of the victims smalt pieces were excised, and found charged with embryonic trich ina in all stages of development. It could not be any longer/-that as many of, the one hun dred and three as hml partaken of the Rostewom had been infected with trifehindos disease by eating of trichinoos pork, the parasite of which had, at least in part, escaped the effects of smoking and frying. • “If it be remembered that one ounce of meat filled with trichina; may form the .stock, from which, in a few days, three millions of worms may be bred, and that these worms will destroy in the, course of a few weeks, not less than two millions ot striated muscular fibres, an idea of the extent of destruction produced by these parasites, can be formed. No case in which triehiniasis, after having declared itself, became arrested. All persons af fected, have either died, or are in a state of pros tration, that their death is very probable. “ Most educated people in Germany have, in consequence of the Hettstadt tragedy, adopted the law of Moses, and avoid pork in any form. To some of the large pig-breeders in Westphalia, who keep as many as two thousand pigs, the sinking of the price of pork has been a ruinous—at least, a sirious—loss. In the dining rooms of the hotels in the neighborhood of Hettstadt, notices are hong up, announcing that pork will not be served in any form, in these .establishments. To counteract this panic, the fanner’s club of the Hettstadt. district gave a dinner, at which no other meat bat pork, was eaten. But it has had no appreciable efiect. The raw ham and sausages of Germany are doomed 1 to extinction.” To many the above will recall the affair of a bite magnitude and strikingly similar character, which occurred at the National Hotel, in Washington, whereby a great number of persons lost their lives or were rendered miserable invalids for their te maining existence. The appearance of the diseased flesh differs only from being paler than the sound and healthy Arti cle. No process to which meat, once infected, can be subjected, will render it a safe filed, but hot strok ing, for several days, has been most anccessftd; ; For the evils, as in all others, remedies Are, offer ed on all sides,bnt as yet have not resulted in' ben efit. It has been gravely suggested to ’submit ins pected meet to microscopic test to escape thiftptuta sitic enemy. We can conceive of nothing more ludicrous than the practical operation of this plan; and we have only to imagine a well fed man at a hotel table, seated before a convenient length of leberwnrst, inspecting the same with an elegant Codington lens, to have presented the drolleMpic ture of this century. The consumer of pork has no assurance' What ever, that bis butcher may not, on some indtlfess day, “ take the wrong'pig by the tail,” have it slaughtered and sold, spreading disease,in ail di rections. It wi)l be a graihof comfort to many who, at this suggestion, review their porcine in dulgences, to know that a careful examination of meat furnished ,for use at many different places in this city, showed a large • majority of the speci mens to be of good quality and condition.' There is but one means of remaining perfectly free from trichinous disease to avoid the use of pork in every shape and form. . The symptoms of this disease are, pf course, extremely varied, in different cases, as can be readily supposed from the difference of manner'in which the poisoned material is presented, some times in limited quantity, when' the disorder is of a slow, steady and comparatively mild character, with tardy recovery, while in others, - when the ingested food has been a mass of life, too ininhte for the human eye to detect, The attack is violent, the prostration profound, and death occurs rapidly. There is, in cases of Trichinoua-d**6aseTt>-«triking a resemblance to the fami-etfiJemic knownashpot ted fever, that we cannOt close this article withoht referring those in whose district that fearful malaA dy may be found, to this great similarity, worthy \ of theh consideration. , X.
