And finally, when the ability to reproduce prongs is lost through age, that poor old star-fish can't get around any more, and so it dies of starvation. In Australia is prevalent a horrible disease due to an "unperfected tapeworm." Unperfected that is what they call it, I do not know why, for it transacts business just as well as if it were finished and frescoed and gilded, and all that.
He was emaciated, seemed to suffer from malarial fever, then prevalent in the place, and from the presence of tapeworm. I told him I could restore him to health if he would heed my advice. The fellow stared at me for some time, trying to find out, probably, if I was a stronger wizard than the H-Men who had bewitched him.
Lord Tapeworm inherited no little portion of the family gallantry, and it was his happy belief that almost every woman upon whom he himself cast friendly eyes was in love with him. He left Emmy under the persuasion that she was slain by his wit and attractions and went home to his lodgings to write a pretty little note to her.

Kennedy reports cases in which tapeworms have been expelled from infants five, and five and one-half months old. Heisberg gives an account of a tapeworm eight feet in length which came from a child of two. Twiggs describes a case in which a tapeworm 36 feet long was expelled from a child of four; and Fabre mentions the expulsion of eight teniae from a child.
As for Tapeworm, the Charge d'Affaires, he rose up in his box and bowed and simpered, as if he would represent the whole empire.
They were the reporters of the press the gamins and good fellows of literature; fellows of inexhaustible resources, who carry their wits literally at their fingers' ends; who can do more than extract sunbeams from cucumbers; for they can make up thrilling facts out of nothing; who can thread their way through a crowd where a tapeworm would be squeezed to death; whose writing desk is usually another man's back; and who sketch out a much better speech between an orator's shoulder blades than he is making in front; whose written language is a perplexity compared with which Greek is a relaxation and Sanscrit a positive amusement; who deal in adjectives, and know their precise value, and how to administer them, as an apothecary knows the drugs that are boxed and bottled on his shelves; who are less men than parts of an enormous mill grinding out grist to be branned and bolted in the editorial rooms, made into food in the printing office and press vault, and served up hot for the public's breakfast next morning.
Some of my notes are as follows: May 18th, Athabaska River, on roof of a trapper's hut found the bodies of 30 Lynxes. May 19th, young Lynx shot to-day, female, very thin, weighed only 12 1/2 lbs., should have weighed 25. In its stomach nothing but the tail of a white-footed mouse. Liver somewhat diseased. In its bowels at least one tapeworm.
She complained of constipation, creepy, crawling sensations in the stomach which she thought was a “tapeworm.” She got pamphlets and took patent medicines. She was taken to a physician nine months before admission, who operated on her for piles. Again she said the gauze had been left in the rectum too long and that the rectum was full of wind. Later she said the rectum was closing up.
We looked at him, winked, and said, "O, that will be all right." "Two shillings more, my friend," said the summer resort. We winked some more, and punched him in the ribs with our thumb, and said, "O, now, old tapeworm, don't try to play it on us boys." And we laughed a sickly sort of laugh.
