An Inch of Sausage with 40,000 Para sites.

[Peoria (Ill.) Dispatch;] It has been found that three men who been seriously ill at Fairview, Fulton county*! for the past few days, are suffering from* trlchiniasis. A piece of sausage which thc*f men had recently made, and of which they* had partaken in a raw state, was submitted tcHl a Peoria doctor, who estimates that in portions there were fully 40,000 parasites to* the cubic inch. The men are very low. They* had been engaged in making sausage, and* thought they had not eaten any considcrableH quantity, but had frequently tasted it to seeH if it had the right flavor. All hopes of the* recovery of the men are not yet abandoned*
