four 10 six hours IL either comes onl or r"-
moves TO some other part. Some ol tue
placcs supurgie, aud It cl,ass ont covered
with fesh; others make their appearance
covered with blood, the latter giving the
most pa!n--they have visited almost every
part OF the body.
And nothing that has been done aS yet
seems TO give any relief, or stop thelr prop
agation.
The ulaccs where they come through the
skin seem to he obstinate. The trst one
came through about twelve days ago, ana
the place is n,t well yet, each place dis
charging from five TO ten drops OF unheaI-
thy look ing pns per day. Tue worm

famed very much and presented til" ap-
pearance of Erysipellous iRi!amhiinn; the
others killed by pressure resulted bout AS
tie former, but both yielding to the COM
mon pouliices, etc.
In being more particular in describing
this animal | will tell you how one Gf
them came to the surface; it commenced NJ
the external ear, giving most intense PAIN,
20 much SO | WAS compelled to use large
doses of morphine; in the course OF SIX
hours it left that place, and Travelled along
in the direction or the forehead, passing
over the temporal artery near the eye;
thcn it gave great pain; finally mating
its way under the scalp, not TAR from me
edge OF the hair, it made its appearance IN
n tumor about the size Of IL hens egg, COW
cred with blood and pus.
The worm is about 0rc inch to one and n
quarter long, and about the size ola large
broom straw, looking very much Ike the
fish bait commonly called sawyer, that we
find under firm bark os dccayed trees.
The patient is lndy about twenty-three
years old, fair compie%'on mother OF three
children, constitution 7ery good, no scro'-
alous in the family. II the treatment
proves successful, will give it TO you
