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. Malouet 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 centipede kind, an inch and a half long, which run swiftly. It lived five or six days among tobacco. The patient was free of his pain ever after. Mr Littré mentioned a like case in 1708, of a larger centipede voided at the nozzle, after it had thrown the woman, in whose frontal sinus it was, into convulsions, and had almost deprived her of her reason.
