The Case Against Eating Pork
By Editor
We present in this number some startling facts in relation to the eating of pork. It appears that the Detroit paper is in error in supposing that the case of the pork disease occurring in that city is the only one in this country. A number of well-authenticated cases occurred in Western New York, last year. In view of the disease here mentioned, as well as in view of its general unhealthfulness in other respects, we say with all confidence that the sooner pork is discarded entirely and forever, the better; and experience will prove it so. From the number of inquiries received of late from correspondents on this point, we judge that many of our people are beginning to question the propriety of fattening swine for the market. And in the present state of things this would seem to be a very pertinent question. For our own part, we would not like to have go forth from our hands any animal which was liable to carry disease and death to all who should partake of its abominable flesh.
