SS6 ESSAYS AND OBSERVATIONS 



days of her ufing this medicine, no worms 

 of any fort being obferved in her ftools, 

 file left off the pills, and began a courfe

 which medicines were continued for fome 

 time, and with fuccefs ; ibis pitient 

 having informed me, about eighteen 

 mr-nrhs after.^that (he had not been trou- 

 ble:! with the fi.alleft appearance of 

 worms from the time fhe had been un- 

 der my care for that diforder. 



To avoid the tirefome detail of a 

 number of cafes, I fnall only add one 

 other inftance of the good elTedi) of this 

 medicine in deftroying worms. 



A man led lady, about thirty years of 

 age, of a very delicate conlUtution, and 

 who had been fubjec^ to worms from her 

 infancy, was, at the time I was called 

 to viiic her, much diftrefied with the 

 afcarides ; and was contoed to her bed 

 from lome threatnings of a mifcarriage. 

 She had, belides the prefcriptions of phy- 

 Ccians, taken, at different times in her 

 life., a variety of noRrums againfl: worms; 

 tut without receiving much benefit from 



thenj.
