The Lorain Constitutionalist says =
A case has recently come to our knowl-
edge, the like OF which is entirely new
to US. A young man of this place,
son of Mr.. o. Billing, has for a long
time been afflicted with what is term
ed a lumber abscess, originating from
irregularity of the kidney. About IL
yearago DIR. Underhill, of La Grange,
lanced the abscess, since which time
it has been n running sore, and dis
charged very freely. Recently a sub
stance appeared protruding from the
incision. This substance proved to
be live worm bearing the appearance
ofa:kidney worm,' but about seren
inelses IN length. The worm tapered off
pointed at each end, and, midway
from point to point, was fully one
half inch id circumference ut the
thickest part. 1t bore a slight color
of drab, OF rather of a light green and
yellow ; was transparent in nature,
and was made up of joints or bands
about nj quarter of an inch apart.
A worm so large, and coming from a
running sore, appears to US as a re-
markable case.
