TREATMENT OF B18EASE8. U7 



longer than the giddiness lasts; then move about, to help the action of the med- 

 icines. I have taken these instructions from a pamphlet sent out by E. Fougera 

 & Co., 30 North William st.. New York, who supply the article if your drug- 

 gist has not got it. This is not an advertisement for them, but to help any one 

 to obtain it who needs it. They do not know that I have mentioned them even; 

 but, knowing its value, I have given it, to save those needing it from paying 

 $10 to $50, as these tramping doctors charge for their removal. The pellfitier- 

 ine is made from pomegranate bark, which has been the main dependence for 

 removing tape worms ; but as it had to be made in the form of an infusion and 

 taken in large doses of a i^ pt. or more, often causing sickness of the stomach, 

 this new preparation is as great a boone as quinine was over having to take the 

 Peruvian bark in powder, as formerly; and as the pellStierine has proved very 

 successful, it will, undoubtedly be but a short time till our druggists will keep 

 it, and it will enter into general use. Speaking of its success, I will mention a 

 few cases, only to show the estimation it is held in. 



Professor Lahoulbdne gives 19 successes in 19 trials. Dujardin-Beametz, 

 member of the Academy of Medicine, France, succeeded 37 times in 39 trials. 

 Dr. Ed. Mount, of Montreal, had 4 successes out of 4 trials; one of the cases 

 had been troubled with tape worm for 26 years. Dr. H. Wilfert, of the Cin- 

 cinnati Academy succeeded also in every case. 



I will mention only one case more, the worm I spoke of being removed 

 in one hour and a half, in the foregoing. The medicine was administered by a 

 boy of less than 20 years, who had been with a doctor for a short time only, and 

 learned what was used. The man was a butcher, and was well pleased to be 

 rid of his tormentor. 



Remarks. — Certainly, with the foregoing list of remedies to select from, no 

 one should long be permitted to suffer the presence of either variety of worms, 

 unless it should be thought worth while to keep " His Majesty " (the tape worm) 

 in a bottle of alcohol, as a trophy of success in his removal. 



1. DYSPEPTICS— Bad Cases Put Upon the Right Tack.— 

 A writer in the Medical Journal, discoursing upon dyspepsia, says: "We have 

 seen dyspeptics who suffered untold torments with almost every kind of food. 

 Bread became a burning acid. Meat and milk were solid and liquid fires. We 

 have seen these same sufferers trjung to avoid food and drink, and even going 

 to the enema (syringe) for sustenance. And we have seen the torments pass 

 away and their hunger relieved by living upon the white of eggs, which have 

 been boiled in bubbling water for thirty minutes. At the end of a week, we 

 have given the hard yolk of the egg with the white, and upon this diet alone, 

 without fluid of any kind, we have seen them begin to gain flesh and strength, 

 and refreshing sleep. After weeks of this treatment they have been able, with 

 great care, to begin upon other food; and all this, the writer adds, without 

 taking medicine. He says that hard boiled eggs are not half so bad as half 

 Itoiled ones, and ten times as easy to digest as raw eggs, even in egg-nog." 



2. Voltaire's Pood for Indigestion, or Dyspepsia. — In the 

 memoirs of Count de Segur (Vol. 1, page 168) there is the following anecdote:
