There is one infection which
can be prevented by the house
wife when she prepares food
This infection is Trichinosis,
which occurs when someone eats
infested pork which has not been
cooked sufficiently. The only way
to make certain that your family
does not get Trichinosis is to be
sure that you cook every piece
of pork until it is well done
Pork is the only domestic meat
that is so affected. Beef and oth
er domestic meats can be cooked
to suit any taste--from rare to
well-done. So, be careful, moth
ers, when preparing pork. It
would be better for the meat to
be too well-done than to take a
chance on an infection.
You can always be certain that
you aren’t taking a chance when
you do business atourpharmacy.
We offer fast, dependable serv
ice in filling your every pharma
ceutical need. When you need a
