Parasites: A Treatise on the Entozoa of Man and Animals / Including Some Account of the Ectozoa

by T. Spencer Cobbold

“The specimen is preserved in the hospital museum, which contains two other preparations of hydatids in the brain, and also an hydatid cyst of large size growing from the interior of the frontal bone.”

In concluding this account of hydatids I may remark that, by the employment of sanitary measures, the disorder might, in course of time, be thoroughly stamped out. What these measures are I have already stated.

I need hardly say that the following bibliography by no means exhausts the records of echinococcus disease. In Dr Albert Neisser’s recent monograph nearly a thousand separate cases are quoted and classified. The monograph of Dr Hearn, which is not mentioned in Neisser’s work, also contains a valuable bibliography.
