TRICHINOPOLY , a See also:city and See also:district of See also:British See also:India, in the See also:Madras See also:presidency. The city is on the right See also:bank of the See also:river See also:Cauvery, 250 M. by See also:rail S.W. from Madras. Pop. (1901), 104,721. The fort which forms the See also:nucleus of the city See also:measures about 1 m. by m.; its defences have been removed. Within it rises the See also:Rock of Trichinopoly, 273 ft. above the city, and so completely isolated as to provide a remarkable view over the surrounding plains. It is ascended by a covered See also:- STONE

stone See also:staircase, entered by a carved gateway, and profusely ornamented. At
intervals up this See also:stair are See also:chambers connected with the See also:temple on the rock. Buddhist See also:inscriptions and carvings in some of them are attributed to the 5th or 6th See also:century. Near the See also:foot of the rock is a See also:fine See also:masonry tank called the Teppakulam, and the See also:palace of the See also:nawab, of which the fine domed See also:audience See also:- HALL

hall is now used as a See also:town-hall. In Trichinopoly is St See also:Joseph's first-grade See also:college, maintained by the Jesuit See also:mission and occupying, among other buildings, a See also:house formerly the See also:residence of See also:Clive. Another first-grade college is maintained by the Society for the See also:Propagation of the See also:Gospel; it has grown out of See also:schools founded by the missionary See also:Schwarz. The See also:Roman Catholics have a fine See also:cathedral. Trichinopoly is important as a trading centre, especially as being a railway junction. It has See also:special See also:industries in goldsmiths' See also:work and modelling in See also:pith; the well-known Trichinopoly cigars are chiefly manufactured from See also:tobacco grown outside the district at See also:Dindigul. Trichinopoly and its neighbourhood was the See also:scene of much hard fighting between the Exglish and the See also:French during the Carnatic See also:wars between 1749 and 1761.
The DISTRICT OF TRICHINOPOLY has an See also:area of 3632 sq. m. The See also:surface is generally See also:flat, though diversified by masses of crystalline rock, of which the Trichinopoly Rock in the fort is a well-known example. The only mountains are the Pachamalais, which rise to 2500 ft. and extend into See also:Salem district. The Cauvery and its See also:branch, the Coleroon, are the only See also:rivers of any importance. The See also:climate is very hot and not liable to See also:great See also:variations; the See also:annual See also:average rainfall is about 34 in. The See also:principal crops are See also:rice, millets, other See also:food-grains and oil-seeds, with a little See also:cotton and tobacco. The See also:main See also:line of the See also:South See also:Indian railway traverses the district, with a branch to See also:Erode. In 1901 the See also:population was 1,444,770, showing an increase of 5% in the See also:decade. The district came into the hands of the British along with the See also:rest of the Carnatic in 18or.
See Trichinopoly District Gazetteer (Madras, 1907). TRICHINOSIS, or TIICIIINIASIS, a disease, in See also:man and other animals, caused by infection by the See also:parasite trichina or trichinella spiralis. The presence of encysted trichinae in the muscles was discovered by See also:Sir See also:- JAMES

James See also:Paget (q.v.) in 1835, and they were named by Sir R. See also:Owen; but it was not until some years after that the clinical characters of the acute disease caused by the invasion of the parasite were discovered. This See also:discovery was made in 1860 by See also:Friedrich von Zenker (1825–1898) on examining the abdominal muscles of a patient who died at See also:Dresden, with symptoms taken to be those of typhoid See also:fever, the See also:case being after-wards accounted one of trichinosis on the See also:post mortem See also:evidence. Epidemics of this disease occur from See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time to time, especially in See also:north See also:Germany, from the eating of uncooked See also:swine's flesh, in which trichinae are not uncommon. Out of 6329 cases in Germany during the years 1881 to 1898, 5456 occurred in states where raw pork is a See also:common See also:article of food. And, from the point of view of public See also:health, the hog is the See also:animal which is the main source of infection, others—except rats—being only rarely infested with the parasite. The greatest care is now taken to examine the carcases of swine for trichinae, a piece of the See also:diaphragm of every animal being searched with the See also:microscope by an inspector specially appointed, and the trichinous hogs being condemned. But it has not been found that this microscopic examination serves as an effective check; indeed it is See also:apt to create a false feeling of See also:security. Over 32 % of the See also:German cases of trichinosis between 1881 and 1898 were traced to See also:meat so inspected and passed as See also:free from trichinae. In See also:America accordingly microscopic examination is not considered to give any See also:guarantee of soundness from trichinae, in spite of a See also:government See also:mark " inspected and passed " (see B. H. See also:Ransom, Circular ro8 of U.S. Dep. of See also:Agriculture, 1907). The symptoms in man are occasioned by the presence of the free parasites in the See also:intestine, by the development of See also:young trichinae from the eggs, and most of all by the See also:migration of the parasites from the intestinal See also:canal to the muscles, where they become quiescent. This See also:cycle occupies from four to six See also:weeks. See also:Lime-salts become deposited in the See also:capsule, the calcification rendering the cyst visible, and this See also:change usually takes five or six months. When consumed insmall quantity, the parasites may give rise to no marked symptoms, and they are sometimes found accidentally in See also:muscular fibre in the bodies of those who had probably experienced no definite symptoms from their invasion. In the more acute and serious cases, sometimes ending fatally, the See also:early symptoms are See also:nausea, failure of appetite, See also:diarrhoea and fever; later, when the migration to the muscles begins, there is more fever, stiffness, See also:pain and swelling in the limbs, swelling of the eyelids, continued exhausting diarrhoea, perspirations and sometimes See also:delirium. During convalescence there is desquamation of the cuticle. The discovery by T. R. See also:- BROWN

Brown of a marked leucocytosis with an extraordinary increase of eosinophiles now enables a diagnosis to be made in cases where the symptoms are obscure. If the diagnosis be made early in the case, brisk purgatives, particularly See also:calomel, are the best treatment; if the parasites are already on their way to the muscles, the only thing See also:left to do is to support the patient's strength. There need, however, be no fear of infection at all if the meat be thoroughly cooked and cured before eaten. This is the only effective precaution.
