SINGULAR AND HORRIBLE D1sEAsE.-some

SINGULAR AND HORRIBLE DIsEAsE.-Some
months ago Mr.. Charles Monroe, Of FairhaVen,
was at Lagos and at Accra, On the Guinea coast
whittier he had sailed as mate with captain Post
in the bark Elizabeth, and while he drank Of the
water Of that part Of the world, without thiek-
ling to take the precautions commonly IN use
among the natives for the prevention OF terri
BILE disease known as the Guinea worn. 1t ap-
pears that the Africans always boil this water
before drinking, in order to destroy the minute
invisible egg of the worm, which IS so small that
it is absorbed by the blood vessels from the 6tonl
ach, and is in that manner distributed in various
parts Of the body, usually in the legs, where It
is Matched, and after long time makes It's APP
pearance in the shape of long thread-ike worm
pointed at both ends, and in Uwines and twists
all about the muscles, and veins and arteries,
but produces no particular feeling Of uneasiness
until some part Of its body comes near the skin
when bad inflammation takes place.
I5 was in March last that Mr.. Monroe began
to be troubled with them, and for thrse months
he has rot walked step. He is now at the
Connecticut State hospital, under treatment; and
one worm has been taken from the bottom OF bis
foot that measured over two feet in length. The
way it is done is this: When the surface of the
skin is so prcked or irritated as to show where
the ''critter" is, thread is fastened to him and
small weight attached to the other end Of the
thread The worm gets tired of pulling SO steady
a strain, and gives ground trife day by day,
and as be comes out little spool winds him up
until he is all up. The pain is very great. For
forty nights, Mr. Monroe hardly slept on &C.
count OF the suffering
One worm is now in process of being drawn
from his heel, and those medical men who have
never seen case Of the kind are much interes-
ted Great care has to be taken not to pull too
hard because the worm would break and the
trouble be much prolonged. It's medical name
is dracunaoulus, and it grows to be several feet
in length It is epidemic in hot countries. When
the bother commences, it appears under the skin
like verbose vein, and after painful boil has
been formed and the skin broken, the head Of
the animal is discoved Mr.. Monroe is very pa
tent under this strange affection, and we hope
before long to see him restored to health.
