Excerpt from Tapeworms (Human Entozoa): Their Sources, Varieties, and Treatment; With One Hundred Cases

Whatever view we may adhere to, the facts speak for themselves. Undoubtedly the human body, in common with the bodies of animals, con stitutes a peculiar territory for entozoa. To reside in this home of theirs, and to enjoy themselves at our expense, is their especial prerogative. The entire organisation of these creatures is admirably contrived for this purpose. Some will resist ex tremes of heat and cold. Many are furnished with a special cyst or protective covering. Most of the juvenile forms are supplied with a tearing or boring apparatus; the same creatures in their adult condi tion having remarkable hold - fasts for the purpose of anchorage.
