It compares individual loss to potential business gains, outlining historical reading as a priceless use of time and warning that time slipping away erodes value like pearls slipping from a broken cord.

Trichinae Remembered After Hog Sausage Incident
A family on the bluff including John Von Degest kied a hog at Christmas and made sausage which was smoked and eaten raw. Dr Bernhardi of Rock Island reports trichinae symptoms in the father mother and children with the baby least affected. The doctor hopes for recovery though unsure. A Swede girl mocked raw pork saying it is better, as a Moline writer once did. Dr Piper found encysted worms in the sausage, visible under a microscope. The cyst lies coiled in a lemon shaped shell and releases worms when gastric juice acts. One ounce of flesh once contained about 25,000 worms, enough to devastate muscle if all were affected. Worms enter pork from offal and garbage while grass fed animals are less prone.
