II. _Gualther van Doeveren’s Inaugural Dissertation de Vermibus intestinalibus_, published at _Leyden_, 1753; and _Lancisi_’s Works; for Cases where the internal Coats of the Stomach, and Intestines, have been eroded, and all the Coats perforated by Worms of the round Kind. As soon as we observed a Patient to be troubled with Worms, if his present Situation did not prevent it, we gave twenty-five or thirty Grains of Rhubarb, with five or six Grains of Calomel; and if there was much Sickness, we likewise gave an Emetic; which, in more than one Case, brought up two or three Worms of the round Kind, and gave great Relief. But where the Fever was violent, we were obliged to neglect this Symptom of Worms for the present; and when the Fever was over, if there still remained any Symptoms of Worms, we gave the purgative Medicine once or oftener, and in the Intervals gave the _pulvis stanni_, or an Infusion of Camomile Flowers; and in some Cases, oily Medicines. By these Means most of the Patients got well and recovered their Health, and seemed to be freed, at least for the present, from these troublesome Insects; though a few continued to complain of Sickness, and other Symptoms of Worms, for some Time afterwards. What was the Cause of the Army’s being so much troubled with Worms of the round Kind, is not easy to ascertain; unless it was owing to the great Quantity of crude Vegetables, and Fruits, which the Soldiers eat in the Course of the Summer and Autumn, and to the bad Water they were often obliged to drink. In the Malignant Fever at _Paderborn_, many complained of a Dysuria, and some of a Suppression of Urine, especially towards the Decline of the Fever; and others, of a Scalding and Pain in making Water, though they had no venereal Complaint. These Symptoms appeared in other Places, but not near so frequently as at _Paderborn_. Decoctions of Gum Arabic, with some of the _spiritus nitri dulcis_, and oily Mixtures, and Opiates, commonly gave immediate Relief, and soon removed this Complaint. One of the first salutary Symptoms which most generally appeared in those who recovered, was a Dullness of Hearing, or Deafness[17]; which came on about the Height of the Fever, and continued a longer or shorter Time, generally till the Fever was entirely gone; and sometimes for a considerable Time afterwards. For the most Part we did nothing for this Complaint, and it went off as the Patient recovered his Strength. When it continued long, Blisters applied behind the Ears, or on the Neck, and washing the _meatus auditorius_ with the emollient Decoction, in which a small Quantity of Soap was dissolved, proved of Service.
