An American text-book of the diseases of children .. . m large quan-tities of this there have been favorable reports lately, but as cocoa-nut is ratherindigestible it might have an untoward effect on the child. With pelletierine or male fern, preferably the former, properly given withall the details of treatment attended to, success should always finally crown ourefforts, and it seems to me better not to waste time with any other remedies. IV.—Trichocephalus dispar (Whip-worm). This is a small worm, thickened at one end, but tapering out like a whip-lash at the other. It is four or five centimetres long, and lives in the caecumwhere it is often found in large numbers (Fig. F g 8). The eggs (Fig. 2, d) are about the size of the ova of the pin-worm, from which they areeasily distinguished by the irregular roundedshape. At each extremity is a break in theegg-walls. Of 16 children examined for thispurpose, I found the eggs of this worm in thefreces of one. The worm gives rise to no symp-toms, as far as known. Trichocephalns Dispar (Heller)..

Moreover, the customary food and drink of earlychildhood do not influence hepatic function and nutrition deleteriously, andtherefore functional derangements, hepatic congestion, and sclerosis are rela-tively infrequent. Other etiological factors of liver disease in adult life arenot operative in childhood. The liver is more frequently the seat of secondarydisease than possibly any other organ. The primary diseases usually occur inadult life, and hence the secondary effects are only observed at that instance, cancer of the liver and abscess following amoebic dysentery arenot of frequent occurrence in childhood.
