of pepper, to the amount of scr. vj, to a decoction of mint, the juice of the root of mulberry, or the decoction of stone parsley, or of other aromatic seeds. Externally we may use aloes with the oil of apples and wine. This also whets the appetite, which is a thing to be much attended to. With the aloes we may often mix wormwood; or the navel may be filled with bull’s gall along with some of the bitters formerly mentioned; or the oil of rose-bay may be constantly rubbed in, or cedar-pitch may be applied alone and along with cerate to the whole belly; or dried pitch may be levigated and sprinkled on it; or it may be anointed with mint and gith in rose-oil; or we may mix with them the decoction of seriphum; or we may triturate peach leaves and apply. We may use stag’s marrow in the form of an ointment to the navel, pubes, and loins; and, if necessary, we may apply the cerate of aloes, of wormwood, of the flour of lupines, of seriphum, of gith, of each, scr. vj; of wax, oz. jss; of oil of camomile q. s.; triturate the powders with bull’s gall. We may give them frequent injections of honied water, that the worms may be attracted downwards by the sweetness of the honey. But if they putrefy in the deep-seated parts, and are not discharged, but on the contrary raise effluvia, we must evacuate them by giving aloes, or the medicine called picra, prepared from it. In certain cases a moderate evacuation, by means of a suppository, is not unuseful to them. _Of the broad worm (tænia)._ The broad worm is (if I may say so) a conversion of the membrane which lines the inside of the intestine into a living body, which is often either discharged whole, when its size appears incredible to be seen; or it is evacuated in parts; but when loosed from its attachment it does not form again. It occurs most frequently without fever, but sometimes in fever after a protracted disease, when it brings on constant gnawing pains of the stomach, and an insatiable desire of food; for the animal which is formed in the intestines seize the food lying there, so that another supply is straightway required, and, if not furnished with it, the worm will bite the bowels. It is accompanied with emaciation of the body and loss of strength, with anomalous symptoms: but the most unerring symptom is when certain substances, like the seed of gourd, are discharged with the fæces. The cure resembles that of the former kind; taking the bitter draughts, eating garlic, drinking or injecting a decoction of fern, or of centaury, or of calamint, of dittany, or of pennyroyal. And we may also inject brine. The patient may also drink this potion, which is not unserviceable to those who are troubled with other worms, if they happen to have fever: Of red natron, of pepper, of cardamom, equal parts: the dose is gr. iij, with wine or hot water.—_Another_, a linctus: Of pepper, of pure bay berries, of Ethiopian cumin, of mastich, equal parts; of honey, q. s.; the dose is a spoonful taken in the morning and
