Notes on Carbon Tetrachloride as an Anthelmintic

matter is still one which has not been satisfactorily solved. The qualities to be sought in an anthelmintic are (1) safety for the patient; (2) effectiveness in expelling worms; (3) simplicity of administration on a large scale; (4) lack of unpleasantness in taking or in after effects; and (5) cheapness. No anthelmintic can be expected to reach perfection in any one of these attributes; the problem is, therefore, to find anthelmintics which combine the highest degree of perfection in each of them. Nor is it reasonable to expect that any one anthelmintic will prove effective for all kinds of worms. Even at the present time well-known biological supplies companies are putting on the market patented anthelmintics which are claimed to be effective against such widely different organisms
