A Monster Tape Worm.

Escape from sudden death.
A few weeks ago a wealthy gentleman from St. Louis, whose life had been miserable by a live tapeworm in his stomach and bowels, visited this city for the purpose of consulting our most distinguished physicians. By the advice of a friend he placed himself in the hands of Dr. Aaron P. Richardson. The doctor put him under medical treatment, and in less than 24 hours, without the least pain or suffering, the patient was relieved of the monster, an entire worm over one hundred feet long!
The gentleman had consulted eminent physicians in the South as well as the North, had taken vast quantities of powerful and nauseating medicines, but the most they did was too bring small portions, only a few feet in length, so that he had nearly despaired of ever being relieved. Finding himself entirely rid off the parasite which had been preying as it were, upon his very vitals, and which must, in a short time, have destroyed his life, he was almost delirious with joy. He has now returned to his family and friends in a perfect state of health.-Boston Atlas.
