A RARE DISEASE.
'.sSs.s
ape-Worm Ova Develops in The
Human Liver.
The Organ Drained by II Modern Sur
gical Operation.

BALTIMORE, Nov. GA rare and |
serious disease, which is known as
hydatid cyst of the liver, is being
watched with great interest by the pro-
fessors, doctors and medical students at
the city hospital, The patient is
German, John +. Bersenbruch, and he
is forty-four years of age. His disease
is due to the ova Of peculiar kind OF
tape-worm which inhabits the dog and
other animals. The ova finds its way
into the stomach Of man in drinking
water, thence it Is carried to the
liver by the blood vessels. The
egg is about -hundredth of an inch
In diameter, and the parts which de.
velop it are found in the water on the
ground and stick to the surF;s!ayl,, Z, wns,g sn
etables, and thus it Is possible inTIIhv
vegetables uncooked to take these oya
into the body, Tae animal from these
ova, however, is not developed in man.
The eggs once in the stomach of man
increase at an enormous rate. From tho
stomach they are absorbed by the blood
vessels leading to the liver Here tho
oya form cysts, or little bags, around
themselves, like the caterpillar in its
cocoon, When this cyst is taken into
the stomach of a dog it devel-
ops into the full-grown hydatid, which
Is one-quarter of an inch in length,
with head one-sixtccnth of an inch,
