Worm Two Inches Long In Her Throat.
We sometimes read in some paper of
strange inhabitants of the human stomach,
and wonder if it may be true. This case
is local and authentic. Jane McCaughern,
daughter of j. p. McCaughern, has for
some time had an unpleasant irritation in
her throat, which she has complained of as
something crawling in her throat" The
mother took little notice of it, thinking it
at most nothing more than little mel vous
trouble. A few days ago, during severe
attack of coughing and vomiting, the child
threw up fiat disagreeable looking worm,
about two inches in length and having II
legs. The worm was thoroughly alive, and
readily ate crumbs placed before 1t. The
curiosity is preserved in alcohol.
