Rosenstein then remarks, that if water could 

 remain cold half an hour, or an hour in the stomach 

 and intestines, or if taken every moment, it could 

 pass without delay into the stomach and into the 

 bowels, this means would never fail to succeed. 

 But as we cannot always find these circumstances, 

 we should frequently repeat the potions of cold 

 water so as to obtain its effect with certainty. (143) 



§ CXLIl. We have noticed from tlie results 

 communicated by Dr. Soa, that the muriate of soda 

 kills taeniae with promptitude ;( 144) besides the 

 vermifuge property of this salt which is confirmed by 

 practitioners,(145) I would advise a strong solu- 

 tion of it in cold water, instead of water simply, 

 to give more eflRciency to Rosenstein^s method ; 

 sea water cooled might answer this purpose very 

 well : the same may be said of mineral waters, 

 which hold muriate or sulphate of soda in solu- 

 tion.(146)
