Eighty Per Cent, of Hogs ' In That Section .Have Worms, x " Declares , Hog . Expert ; GOLDSBOROt Dec. , 20. Eighty per cent of the hogs of Wayne coun ty have entozoans, or in plain words they have worms, according to Health Inspector' Kerr f this city; and he declares it is one of the highest jive -centages he has ever encountered Only one species of, the entgzoan ie dangerous to human life and that is the common tapeworm which may bE transmitted to the human body in an egg jstate through eating pork ;or beef infected with it in a semi' raw state it- is stated. Mr. Kerr said yes terday that he found a case of tape worm in cattle Saturday and ordered the - beef, killed and destroyed. . In-the 80 per cent of hogs infected with the entozoans range all the way from ; bronchial parasite that causes pneumonia in hogia to the ordinary ln tesrinal parasite, that stunts growth. All of these can be eliminated, by the giving of Santomin and calomel ir. capsules-of two and ane half grain? each. . Dr. Kerr says, that worms develop naturally in hogs in soil in these parts, but they are about as bad as frle has ever seen anywhere. He ad vises keeping charcoal available for the hogs at all times after they are rid of worms. PERSONS CASE HAS BEEN DISMISSED RALEIGH. N. C Dec. 20. The case of -W. M.
