Lumbrici Tere- XLl. In Apr. 167z. AChirurgeon at York broJght me about 20 Worms ,'vidratliM i;/,”; which he had just taken out ok an Ulcerated Aukieof a Giri of about 8h Dr. M. Liiier. Tears Old. She had been in great Misery for forne Months; and had been»■?/• s (° 6 +. (ent up to London, where fhe wasTouch'd and Dresi’d for the EvtI Sometime aster her Return, her Pain continuing, a younj; Puppy was open’d andapply’d to the Sores. The Chirurgeon, who took off the Puppy, found h, tohis great admiration, füll of Worms , at least 60 in number, what thosehe found in the Body of the Puppy, and what he drew cut of the Sore An-kle; into which, hefaid, they crawled down as Worms do into theGround.The fune Puppy was again apply’d, and at the sceond taking of it off Imade her a Vihr. I found the Leg found all but the Ankle, which wasvaflly Swell’d, and the Girl otherwife Hearty and welbcolour’d.

They were betwixt 3 and 4 Inches long;ali, about the matter, of an equal bignefs, as of one Brood ; fbmethingthicker than a Duck’s Quill; very fharp at both ends, stiff, and txacflyRound ; whhout Incifures, vifible at least, and yit could Move and Twistthemfclves readily enough. All the difference was in theColour, these be-ing much W 1 iter than any I have secn from the Guts,
