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

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

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 (Gr. 'IlrKw,l3or, the Heb. Ya`akob or Jacob)
- JAMES (JAMES FRANCIS EDWARD STUART) (1688-1766)
- JAMES, 2ND EARL OF DOUGLAS AND MAR(c. 1358–1388)

- JAMES, WILLIAM (d. 1827)
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, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
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

.
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

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
