Its presence in the kidney may sometimes be recognized by the existence of microscopic eggs in the urine. The same results from another worm—Eustrongylus Gigas. But without the ob- servation of such eggs weakness of the hind parts cannot be ascribed to the kidney-worm. Treatment is unsatisfactory. Small doses of salt and oil of turpentine may be given with no great hope of success. The favorite dose of arsenic only escapes killing the hog because he rejects it all by vomiting.
