The faeces, as a rule, were examined but once, and the speci- 

 mens were obtained after the administration of magnesium 

 sulphate. Four cover slip preparations were examined of each 

 case. It appears from Table III that 133, or 86.9 per cent, 

 were infected with one or more species of intestinal parasites 

 and that there were 278 infections found in the 153 patients, 

 or 181.8 infections per 100 persons.
