CASE WOOD, J., aged 35. Patient, who had never been abroad before, left England in 

 June, 1915, and went direct to the Peninsula, where he remained for 6| months. While 

 there he had an attack of dysentery (blood and mucus) but had no emetin. He came to 

 Egypt in December, 1916. On March 27, during the routine examination of men in Mustapha 

 Camp he was found to be a carrier of E. histolytica. Patient had also trichomonas and 

 E. iiana infections. On March 31 and April 1 one grain of emetin by the mouth was given. 

 This caused the patient to vomit at once on both occasions, so on April 2 a course of emetin 

 injections (one grain a day for 12 days) was commenced. The E. histolytica disappeared 

 from the stool after the second dose of emetin by the mouth in spite of the vomiting. There 

 was no recurrence of the infection. The trichomonas and E. nana infection disappeared during 

 the treatment, but recurred later. During treatment the patient was not kept in bed and was 

 on chicken diet. The emetin had no action on the temperature or pulse-rate. 



CASE HABKIS, C., aged 25. Patient, who had been in France from January to August, 

 1915, was transferred to the Peninsula, where he remained four months. Patient states that 

 he had dysentery both in France and on the Peninsula, and that he had had at one time or 

 another 25 injections of emetin. He came to Egypt early in 1916, and was found to be a 

 carrier of E. histolytica on March 22 during the routine examination of men in Mustapha
