must be remembered, even when given in the ordinary 

 manner, is liable to produce sickness, violent pain in 

 the intestines, and vomiting. 



The dose of the powder is from 5vj to j, usually 

 given in infusion. 



The methods of Professors Martius of Erlangen, and 

 Raimann of Vienna, are well spoken of by Kuchenmeis- 

 ter. The former, finding that the powder killed the 

 worm, but that it did not cause the head to pass away, 

 endeavored to isolate the active principles of the resin. 

 " A red resin obtained from Kousso had no effect- 

 It was otherwise with a soft resin of the Kousso, of 

 which 9ij were obtained from 5vj of Kousso, but 

 in which there was certainly still some red resin and

 (113 F.), and filtered; the alcoholic solution was 

 dropped upon sugar. As soon as the alcohol was 

 evaporated, the solution was again poured upon 

 sugar ; the whole was well dried, and reduced with 

 sugar to the finest powder ; sugar being added until, 

 with 9ij of soft resin, the whole quantity weighed ss. 

 This very finely divided resin was mixed with ij of 

 honey, and the whole administered in a perio4 of 12 to 

 16 hours, commencing at four in the afternoon. The

 impossible to find the head. In one of these cases,
