The sheep-disease, as they call it, is really produced by the drinking of water into which the egg of the tape-worm has been dropped by dogs, not actually by sheep. The egg when taken into the human system develops into an animalcule with a boring instrument, and it works its way into the joints and produces hideous, disfiguring sores, that are constantly discharging.
