A Singular Story From Ber-
Hin

A Berlin newspaper mentions the
case of boy who fell sick and was
found, after futile treatment for a
long period, to have worms in one of
his lungs that had unquestionably
come from pet dog which he had
been accustomed to fondle. Two
dangerous surgical operations were
necessary for the removal of the
parasite, and the lad barely survived
them. The journal advises parents
generally TO take note of this case,
and not allow their children to kiss
their pet animals or fondle them too
freely.
