STRUVE FAMILY HAVE TRICHINA
HOUSEHOLD NEAR MANNING IS AFFLICTED WITH THE DREADED DISEASE.
Special to The Daily Nonpareil.
MANNING, Iowa, May 26
Recently a number of the Carsten Struve family feeling sick, the doctor was called in to see what the trouble might be. After a careful diagnosis of the case the doctor came to the conclusion that the family had trichina, one of the most dreaded diseases.
It was thought that they contracted the disease from eating pork that was filled with the germ. Medicine was at once given to counteract the germs and we learn that all are recovering. Had a physician not been called until the germs had encysted in the muscles, there would have no doubt been serious results.
Mr. Struve and one of the girls are still dangerously ill.
