Unclean Food.

Professor Michaels says: "Three days of inspection of pork under the microscope has revealed more trichinae than I expected to find I do not care to inform the press of the number of hogs we have found to be infected. It might cause alarm." The safest way to avoid the deadlv disease from eating infected pork, is to dispense with it entirely. <illegible> an unclean animal in its <illegible> and must necessarily breed uncleanliness in itself. Even pork without trichinae will breed scrofula in time, and perhaps many other diseases if known are tracebie to that and other meats we eat. Fruit, seeds, and vegetables, were the onlv food eaten prior to the deluge, and we learn that the anti-dilu <illegible> were giants in those days, and lived several hundreds of years The construction of man's teeth proves the truth of the assertion advanced by hygienic and health writers that man never was intended to be a flesh eater.
