An atlas of clinical microscopy . d,even when the worm inhabits the body, by the segments (proglot-tides) voided, and a timely diagnosis is practically important.

It appears, according to latest observations, that the unarmedCysticercus of T. saginata may live in the human body, but thesecases are so very rare that this does not alter the peculiar dangerof T. solium. This latter has, therefore, to be ejected at once,while, with the other species, the treatment may be undertaken ata convenient time. The distinction of the different tapeworms isalso useful for the physician, as it influences the mode of )halus is most easily removed ; T. saginata requires thestrongest doses. PLATE 84.

Taenia.—Thesegments usually pass off singly; they may emigrate in a livingcondition and lead outside the body a life more or less independent(locomotion and change of form). They are square, in the centersomewhat wider, their length equal to twice their width. The sex-ual aperture is on a little papilla on the longer edge. On examin-ing a segment, slightly pressed between two plates of glass, withtransmitted light, we observe more or less distinctly a characteristicfigure which tills nearly the whole segment; it is the uterus filledwith eggs. The appearance is distinct when the uterus is com-pletely filled, which is the rule when several segments adhere to-gether uninjured. When, however, the proglottides are isolated andmove in a lively manner, the uterus is hard to recognize, as it isemptied. In such isolated segments ther
