QUEER DISEASE IS
PREVALENT IN
THIS CITY
Internal Parasites Are Cause
Of Much III-HeaIth, Says
fastener, @

The following remarkable statement
was made by Benjamin recently. Ben
iamin is the man whose medicines
and theories have aroused such wide
spread comment in the East and who
is now in Honolulu introducing his
medicines He said:
During the past few days many
people who are taking the preparation
| have come to Honolulu to introduce
have brought to me internal para
sites. commonly called tapeworms,
that have recently passed from the
system. Many of these people have
been alarmed and came to ask for an
exclamation. Some Of these people did
not even know the nature of the para
site they brought to me, and ~ conse-
quenoe were extremely nervous and
excited over the matter I
Il take this opportunity of explain
| ing what these creatures iare and
what 4 have learned about them in
the nast:
"Tapeworms, as they are called, are
much more common than would be
supposed venture to say that 10 per
cent of the lso-called chronic stomach
tro,lbIe and what is known as "a run
down condition. is caused by these
creatures. In every city visit hun
dreds upon hundreds Of them are
brought to me during my stay by
people who have taken my prepara-
ton. and doubtless there are innum-
cradle cases of which | hear nothing.
An individual may suffer for years
with one of these great parasites and
not be aware of it, Contrary to gem
eral belief, the appetite is not greatly
/, increased-it only becomes irregular.
:; Sometimes an extreme sense of hun
ger is experienced, at others the mere
sight of food will nauseate, There is
generally a feeling of faintness, how
f ever, and a gnawing sensation in the
, pit of the stomach.
E people afflicted with one of these
parasites are generally nervous ant
easily depressed The chief sensation
is one of languor-the least eXertiol
will tire, and there is, as a rule, ;
. dull pain in the lower part of TIN
back. The individual imagines tina
lhe, or she, is suffering from man
i different diseases The parasite
.. never in itself fatal, but it consume
a great part of the sustenance frol
all food eaten and in consequence
there is not enough nourishment lei
to sustain the body, the system lose
vitality and every organ become
more or less affected.
Lack of energy and ambition nj
only affect the body, but the mind ais
becomes dull and sluggish, the men
, DRY is not so good and the eyesigl
: becomes somewhat poorer.
to "As | have already stated, ! belieN
10 these parasites are very prevalent.
III shall prove this conclusively before
leave Honolulu, with MY preparatio
My medicine, in cleansing the stor
ach of impurities, seems to be fat
OF to these great worms and drives the
nc from the system with astonishil
~ rapidity.
~ Il shall be at the Honolulu DR.
OF Co.'S store, on Fort street, for sever
IS weeks to come and will continue
meet those who wish to see me
this store IRON 10 until a. | wish
- assure any one in Honolulu who h
RS, had the experience just related, wi
re my preparation, that there is no eau
&c for alarm in the matter, and that
