Sir: Your action, as reported in your dispatch No. 135, of the 13th ultimo, in causing an investigation of alleged cases of trichinosis at Tilsit, is heartily approved by the Department. It is desirable that every well-authenticated report of an outbreak of trichinosis in Germany which may come to your ears should be inquired into on the spot, with an honest and evident purpose to arrive at the exact facts so far as may be possible.
