On the Structure and Development of the Cysticercus cellulosae, as Found in the Pig, by George Rainey

for the production of cysticerci, (most probably the food had contained the germs of these animalcules) but had for a certain period been withdrawn from them, - so that all the younger animalcules had been as it were used up to produce the adult ones. Secondly, that those from which the second set had been taken had only been recently placed under such circumstances, & had re= mained so circumstanced up to the time that they had been slaughtered, - & thirdly, that those from which the third set of specimens had been taken had both sometimes previously & immediately before they were slaughtered been placed under circumstances favourable for the production & development of cysticerci. Now as to the determination & discovery of what these favourable circumstances are, it would be necessary that the history of future animals, giving similar microscopic indications should be <u>most<\u> minutely inquired into, especially in relation to those different periods, & that the investigation of all these circum stances should be aided, &, tested, & directed by a series of the most careful experiments upon living animals, accompanied by exam= inations of their food p, & all the circumstances under which they are placed, both during the period these animalcules are being developed in the muscles & afterwards.
