LONDON, February 13
'"The Lancet" states that 500 people in the Wolverhampton area and also in Harpenden are suffering from a mystery disease called trichiniasis as a result of eating raw pork sausages.

Inquiries in Wolverhampton reveal that the raw sausage is eaten in at least half the workingclass households.
