    Of case of Grizel Robertson our patient for Taenia, formerly spoke at very great consid length.

    Shall not now resume any [observ] then offered either with regard to Fern powder or other med empl.

    May only obs that last med used with this Patient was Camph in subst. & to consid extent.

    From this however no large [fragm] partic, no filum or thread brought away.

    And although for space of week togeth before ord med to be interm, no [fragm] observed, yet could not look upon her as cured.

    Especially as still affected not only with Vertigo but also with pains in stomach & bowels which consid as immed proceeding from pres of worms

    Ment. however intent of interm med from diff consid till farther evid of pres by [actual] disch

    Such an occurr howevr has not yet taken place

    For had opport of seeing this patn few days ago, & find that has disch no fragm since saw her last.

    Health also in every respect bettr & neither affected with pains of stom belly or vertigo.

    At same time very far from [illegible] it as cure by Camphor.

    For in conseq of use no large fragm or head brought away.

    And on formr occas patient has already had simil. remiss.
