WORMS (See also Tapeworm)
For ascarides the best remedies are; Pink-root (especially Fluid Extract Pink-root and Senna), santonin (gencrally combined with calomel and given in lozenges-' and oil of wormseed. For pin worms santonin is often prescribed, but is less eflicient than infusion of quassia (10 per cent) given by injection.2
