Beef Trust Warning Ties Lumpy Jaw Beef to Appendicitis
The Chicago Health Department warns the public that lumpy jaw beef from local packers can cause appendicitis. A bulletin by Commissioner Charles J. Whalen cites Chicago Medical Society findings on actinomycosis and urges strict condemnation of carcasses with digestive or respiratory tract involvement. The issue ties insanitary stock yards to tuberculosis and calls for sweeping prohibition of lumpy jaw meat.

Beef Trust Horrors and the Lumpy Jaw Cattle Thesis
A critical 1900s pamphlet-style denunciation argues the Beef Trust allows diseased cattle and cancerous meat to reach the public. It cites lumpy jaw, tuberculosis and cancer cases in hospitals, condemns private slaughter, and calls for state-run, inspected slaughterhouses to prevent food contamination and protect public health.
