HYDATID CYSTS.
DANGER DORMANT IN DOGS. “You will sec that the sheep in the Wairarapa are suffering from hydatids,” said the Rev John €rewes, at the Trades’ Hull, Wellington, on Thursday evening. “The eggs of hydatids are carried in the,mouths of dogs, and, arc also found in sheep, but they are at their most dangerous stage in dogs, which should never be allowed to lick the han-1 or come into contact 'with children or food for human consumption. Yet ladies kiss pet dogs often.” The eggs entered the human stomach an then some part of the body. The instance screened by the lecturer was where a heart had burst, due to the presence of a hydatid cyst containing daughter cysts, and a cyst in the brain of a seven-year-old girl, which iproved fatal, was also shown.
