WORMS. 1 1 1 



It is often necessary to repeat this medicine, 

 but there should always be an interval of ten 

 days between each dose. 



The third kind of worm is of a whitish colour, 

 frequently seven oi* eight inches in length, and 

 generally found in the lower part of the small 

 intestines. Worms of this kind are not so 

 common as the others, but appear to consume 

 a considerable quantity of chyle, or the nutri- 

 tious parts of the food. They may be got rid 

 ^of by the same means that we have recom- 

 mended for the small blackish worm. 



We may always be satisfied of the existence 

 of worms in the intestines, when a whitish or 

 light straw coloured powder is observed im» 

 mediately beneath the anus. 1 have some- 

 times succeeded in destroying worms, by giv- 

 ing one dram and a half of aloes every morn- 

 ing until purging was produced.
