The Marietta Register, February 22, 1872
On Friday evening last, we were shown one of those horrible things, a tape-worm, which had been expelled from the stomach of a lady in Harmar, under the treatment of Dr. S. O. Loughridge. The main portion of the "reptile" was twenty-five feet in length, flat, from a quarter to half an inch wide, and jointed every quarter of an inch or so. Besides the main stem, there were broken fragments of the worm, perhaps enough to make five feet more. The lady has suffered some time from the presence of the worm, is weak now, but up and about and will get entirely well.
