ADDENDUM 
As the final proof of this paper is being read, I am in receipt 
of a letter from Doctor ^ason concerning the case of balan- 
tidiosis he treated with chenopodium in which he says: 
I saw my patient six months after treatment and he had had no return 
then. But I have since hedrd indirectly that he had a dysentery. This 
was a lay diagnosis. I sent him some chenopodium with instructions for 
its use. He wrote me later that he was well, but whether with or without 
treatment I do not know. I will wri^e to him asking for a statement of 
his health since the first attack, and when I receive that I will send it to 
you.
