a term used for such worms as have a great many feet, though the number does not amount to 100, as the term seems to import.—M. Malo relates the history of a man, who, for three years, had a violent pain in the lower part of the forehead near the root of the nose: at length he felt an itching, and afterwards something moving within his nostril, which he brought away with his finger; it was a worm of the centiped kind, an inch and an half long, which ran swiftly. It lived five or six days among tobacco. The patient was free of his pain ever after. Mr Littre mentioned a like case in 1708, of a larger centiped voided at the nose, after it had thrown the woman, in whose frontal sinus it was, into convulsions, and had almost deprived her of her reason.
