How to Prevent Trichine

As no trichina nor germ of trichina has ever been found in vegetable food, the parasite must inevitably come through the eating of flesh of some kind. A strict attention to the feeding of hogs and their confinement in pens where no animal food is accessible, is an infallible preventative against Trichiniasis. As the disease cannot be detected by external appearance, no farmer can tell if the disease exists among his animals, nor should he be blamed if he sells animals found to be affected with trichine. The use of the microscope will effectually tell if the muscles of the hog be free from this parasite.
