REVIEW. 
Esteveus recommends resorcin, in a one to eight solution 
as a cure for fevers. Though in his patients the disease had

Dr. Willach favors us with a rather novel theory in re 
gard to the nature of coccidia. He claims to have demon 
strated by experiment that Coccidium oviforme, found in the 
liver of rabbits, etc., is not a protozoa but simply the egg ol 
a nematode. This egg (? ? ?), upon being expelled from the! 
body of the rabbit, develops into a new nematode which Wil 
lach names Pelodera oxyuridis , which, in turn, upon entering 
rabbits gives rise to Oxyuris ambigna, the eggs of whicl 
represent C. oviforme. 
There can be no doubt that nematode eggs can easily ber
