port the results at their earliest convenience. Only one physician has, thus far, had occasion to use the oleo-resin, with which twelve feet at one time, and ten feet at another, in all twenty-two feet of tapeworm were expelled. Since that time the patient has not complained, and the doctor believes that the head was discharged. A friend, who has been annoyed with tænia for some time, has been treated with kamala (Rottlera tinctoria) and cusso (Brayera anthelmintica) with unsatisfactory results, discharging only small pieces of the worm. The administration of the ethereal extract of Aspidium marginale caused the expulsion of a piece eight feet long.

The extract was administered in the following way :-One and a half fluid drachms were placed in a two-ounce vial, half filled with granulated sugar, well shaken; filled with water, and again well shaken. The patient, after fasting about twenty-four hours, at 10 o'clock p.m. took one-third; at 11 o'clock p.m. one-third, and at 6 o'clock next morning the balance, which was followed, two hours afterwards, with a large dose of castor oil. The parasite, or a portion of it, was expelled in a few hours.

Three experiments were made with the view of ascertaining the amount of ethereal extract the drug would yield, one pound being operated upon at each experiment. In each case the yield was about one and a half ounces, or 9.375 per cent.

Previous notices of Aspidium marginale will be found in the Year-Book of Pharmacy, 1876, p. 209, and 1878, p. 202.
