Larger Parasites. 145 eat or drink and wastes dailj'. But, if well-fed and ex- citement avoided, it may even gain flesh. If tlie cyst is situated on one side of the brain, the lamb turns to that side, moving in a circle and making a beaten track. The limbs on the opposite side of the body act in a disorderlj manner, being partially paralyzed. If there is one on each side of the brain, the sheep will turn to one side or the other, according to the relative activity of the para- sites at any given moment. When the cyst is dii-ectly in the median line, the sheep elevates its nose and advances in a straight Une untH stopped by some obstruction. When located in +iie back part of the brain, (cerebellum), Fig. Fig. I—Coenurus Cerebralis. Showing the sac with its many heads (re. duced). Also a single head magnified. the host lifts its limbs in a jerking, uncertain manner, seta them down in a hesitating way, stumbles perpetually, falls and struggles for some time ineffectually in its efforts to rise. If situated in the spinal cord, difficult breathing and paralysis are marked symptoms. The disorders are often extreme at first, and afterwards undergo a temporary im- provement, the remissions and aggravations being proba- bly due to the varying activity of the parasite at different periods. Simple tumors, maintaining a steadily increasing pressure rarely give rise to such intermittent symptoms. The coennrus mostly affects sheep under two rears old.
