But do you know what I'll tell you, ladies?" she turns to her mates, "Why, our Pheclusha has a tape-worm, and when a person has a tape-worm, he always eats for two: half for himself, half for the worm." Nina sniffs angrily and answers in a bass which comes as a surprise from one of her stature, and through her nose: "There are no tape-worms in me.
And that queer pleasure, intimate, mute, insidious, grew within me a sort of moral tape-worm whose coils I tore out in vain, for they would immediately form again and take firmer hold than ever.
It must be remembered, however, that until the head has been detached from its connection with the bowel, nothing has been gained, and the tape-worm will in a short time grow again. To obtain the detachment of the head it is necessary that any worm medicine should be given when the intestines are empty.
Tape-worms There are several kinds, but the treatment is the same in all cases. The commonest in the country is the Cucumerine. This is a tape-worm of about fifteen inches in average length, although I have taken them from Newfoundland pups fully thirty inches long. It is a semi-transparent entozoon; each segment is long compared to its breadth, and narrowed at both ends.
The 'helpers' may also be regarded as direct and indirect: in the case of a carnivorous animal, for example, a particular herbaceous plant may in multiplying be an indirect helper, by enabling the herbivora on which the carnivore preys to get more food, and thus to nourish the carnivore more abundantly; the direct helper may be best illustrated by reference to some parasitic creature, such as the tape-worm.
Through a hole at the top of the globe issues a wick which passes through a sort of reed of brass, drawing the nut-oil held in the globe through its own length coiled like a tape-worm in a surgeon's phial.
I'll bet you my Indian dagger against the bottled tape-worm in your den that she'll swallow the biggest lie I can invent. That's a generous offer, and you'd better jump at it." "Thanks, I'm not so fond of murderous tools as you are." "Well, a tape-worm is as murderous as a dagger, any day, and not half so pretty."
The tape-worm exists in the human intestines, so that the fewer there are of men the fewer there will be of tape-worms, other things being alike. It is a humiliating reflection, perhaps, that we may be classed as direct helpers to the tape-worm, but the fact is so: we can all see that if there were no men there would be no tape-worms.
It ought, by means of the finger, to be frequently smeared on the parts affected. Have the goodness to inform me of the different varieties of Worms that infest a child's bowels? Principally three 1, The tape-worm; 2, the long round-worm; and 3, the most frequent of all, the common thread or maw-worm.
