TO THE SECOND LECTURE. 



(1) ^^ Ingenue fateor unam hypcthesim non mi- 

 nus obscuram esse quam alteram ; fateor etiam me 

 nescire, quae vera sit liarum, nee opinari me au- 

 clere, ob difficultates ab utraque parte mihi inipen- 

 etrabiles. Dies forte docebit.^' 



Thus wrote Ret:z:y an excellent Swedish natu- 

 ralist, after having examined the different hypo- 

 theses published by several illustrious authors on 

 the generation of worms in the human body. See 

 Lectiones publicae de vevmihus intestinalibuSy im- 

 primis Jnunanis, etc. p. 55,

(6) " From the egg of a fly proceeds a fly ; 

 from the egg of a hen, a pullet, and not a serpent ; 

 from the egg of a goose, a goose, and not a fish. 

 Thus from one worm is produced another worm, 

 and nothing else." Rosenstein, Traite des mala- 

 dies des enfans^ etc. ; chap, xxii, p). 293.
