sang two fine numbers. The quartet

Seventeen million Americans have
trichinosis and do not know it, is the
oipinion of Dr, Thurlow C. Nelson,
profsesor of zoology at Rutgers
University. Trichinosis is caused by
eating raw or undone pork. It is1
caused by a fine wire like worm
which enters the muscular tissue by
going through the walls of the in-1
testines. Those afflicted with trichi- j
nosis have symptons often mistaken |
for typhoid, intestinal flu, pleurisy I
and even appendicitis.
