An Outbreak of Trichinosis in Garhwal: Translation of a Report, Dated 27th March 1907, From Harak Singh, Patwari, of Talla Painkhanda *Painkhanda is a large parganna in Upper Garhwal. The people there are wilder and more barbarous than those of the south of the district. Not only are their methods of preparing and cooking food most primitive, but their usual repulsive custom of immediately ripping open a carcase and devouring raw parts of certain internal organs (heart, liver, spleen, etc.), whilst still alive and quivering, naturally enough, lay them open to infection.
