TAPEWORMS. 13 



nally due to the irritation set up by the tapeworm 

 acting upon a morbidly sensitive constitution. It 

 is one of those chronic cases in which our best 

 efforts are necessarily baffled ; but had a different 

 method of treatment been adopted from the very 

 first,, I am of opinion that this patient would have 

 been permanently cured.
