Mr. Ignace Belanger, one of the well-to-do farmers of the Elm Creek Valley, three miles south of Ames being in need of meat, went into his hog pasture and selected a hog to kill that seems to have not gained in flesh during the last few weeks. Previous to that time the hog had been sick, but was then apparently in good health, but would not fatten. After the hog was killed a part of the meat-nearly all lean-was taken and chopped up for sausage meat. While the sausage meat was being mixed up, Mrs. B., her oldest son aged nineteen, her youngest son, aged eleven, and her niece, Miss Josephine Manna, daughter of our townsman’s brother, aged seventeen, ate some of it in its raw state. Last Thursday, the. youngest boy was taken sick and Dr. Bergeron was sent for. The first symptoms of trichinosis being very similar to those of bilious fever, Doctor B., not dreaming that trichinosis existing in the vicinity, not even among hogs prescribed for bilious fever, and returned home. Friday morning, he was called again and found the boy in a very dangerous condition, and the oldest boy and the young lady following the same way. The three being taken sick in exactly the same manner aroused the doctor’s suspicions, and he then commenced an investigation of the matter. Upon being told the facts in the case, as above stated, he pronounced the disease trichinosis, and treated the parties accordingly, but it seems that the worst must come. The young boy died Sunday afternoon, and the oldest boy and the girl are probably dead by this time. Mrs. B. will surely recover, as the quantity off the meat she ate was very small. We visited the family of Mr. B. Monday with Dr. Bergeron. The house presented a most pitiful aspect. In one corner laid the remains of a bright boy who, only a few days previous, was full of health and vigor; in one bed the mother laid stricken down with grief, besides being tormented by this terrible disease; in another bed was the oldest son, groaning from excruciating pains, and with Death slowly creeping upon him; and still in another bed was the niece upon whose face could be seen that the end of her sojourn with us was fast approaching. Mr. Belanger and a son about sixteen years old were the only two in the family able to be about and, with the assistance of good neighbors and relatives, did all they could to assist the sick ones. This is a sad case, indeed, and should serve as a warning for all time to come against eating raw meat of any kind. Dr. Bergeron took a piece of the meat to his office and examined it through a powerful microscope. The little trichinae coiled up in their cysts are plainly visible in almost every particle of the meat. We took a good square look at them and took their word for it. We are convinced without tasting. Parties desiring to examine the diseased meat can do so at any time at Dr. Bergeron’s office. Dr. B. reports his trichinosis patients a little better this morning, with hopes of saving Miss Manna’s life.
