b'ltini', but what came away after the fird 

 four days were all dead. He pafTed noae 

 after the twelfth day of uhng the medi- 

 cines; and, in a few days, got rid of all the 

 fymptoms of worms, except that he had 

 not recovered his ftrength. He continu- 

 ed well for about a fortnight; but, after* 

 that time, the palpitations, intermitting 

 pulfe, timoroufnefs, and languor returned; 

 and, in fome weeks more he beg^n to pafs 

 pieces of a dead tapeworm, about three 

 inches long, along with a white matter 

 or phlegm. After that, the living cucur- 

 bitini appeared, and came away foms- 

 times without his knowledge, as former- 

 ly; and were attended with the pruritus mii. 

 I have lately begun him with a fecond 

 courfe of ihe corrofive fublirr-ate pills and 

 purgatives ; and cannot as yet fay what 

 will be the e'leds of it ; but, if it fhall 

 free him from the worms a fecond time, 

 I intend to give him after it a courfe of 

 the bark and fteel, with a view to 

 flrengthen his bowels, and prevent a re- 

 lapfe.
