57 gt\) ; the Herba Haudukduk, a Euphorbiaceous plant (very 

 juicy, dose 18 gr.) ; the Cortex Tambusch, from Rot tier a Schimperi ; 

 the Herba Buffafala, from Bryonia scrobiculata ; the Folia 

 Aule = Woira, from Olea chrysophylla ; the Herba Zelim = Habbe 

 Zelim, from Jasminum floribundum (never given alone, but always 

 with Kousso) ; the Radix Ternacha or Jernacka, from Verbascum 

 Ternacha or phlomoides (dose 70 gr., often mixed with Kousso) ; 

 the Herba Maddere, from Buddleia polystachya ; the Herba et 

 Flores Belbilda or Bilbilta, from Celosia trigyna (5 SS )- 



I have tested a great many of the remedies here mentioned by 

 placing living tape-worms in a mixture of the particular remedies 

 with white of egg, and determining the time in which the Tcenice 

 died by the assistance of the rotation apparatus, the two poles of 

 which I introduced into the mixture. 



In castor oil the Taenia lived about 7 — 8 hours and about an 

 equal time in a salad made with unwashed herrings, potatoes, 

 large pieces of onion and garlic, vinegar, and a large quantity of 

 oil ; in Cuprum oxydatum nigrum (Rademacher) they lived for 

 days. After the administration of castor oil for four days, the 

 Tcenice of a dog were also quite lively. Stizolobium Mucuna, or 

 Dolichos pruriens (cow-itch) administered internally to dogs with 

 honey, produced violent diarrhoeas, accompanied by punctiform 

 spots of extravasation in the intestine, by which means fragments 

 of Tcenice, but few entire ones, passed off. The decoction of 

 the pods of this remedy only produced diarrhoea; and the 

 Tcenia lived uninjured for twenty-two hours in a mixture of the 

 hairs of these pods with white of egg. Tin behaves in exactly 

 the same manner. Electricity has no destructive action upon Tcenice. 



It is otherwise, however, with Kousso, in the infusion of which, 

 mixed with milk, the Tcenice died within half an hour of their 

 introduction, and with oil of turpentine, in a mixture of which, 

 with white of egg, they died in 1 — \\ hour. In a decoction of 

 the Brayera = Kousso, mixed with white of egg, the Tcenice died 

 in li — 3 hours; in a decoction of Rad. Punicce granatorum, 

 mixed with white of egg, in 3 hours, and with the same 

 decoction mixed with milk in 3 — 3£ hours. In a mixture of 

 Extract, filicis maris tether., with white of egg, the Tcenice died in 

 3i — 4 hours. The so-called filicine (filicic acid of Lutz), mixed 

 with white of egg, also has an energetic action upon the Tcenice, 

 which die therein in the course of a few hours, and exhibit 

 oedematous swellings in various parts.
