"Truth Stranger than Fiction" - A Man Lives Twelve Years with a Hideous Living Monster in Him. On Wednesday of this week, Dr. HAYNES, who has for the past two weeks been curing all diseases at the Elliott House, removed from MR. HENRY ELLIOTT, son of the proprietor of the ELLIOTT House, a mammoth tape worm, about twenty-five feet in length and having several thousand joints. All are invited to call and take a look at this fearful animal, (which has for the past 12 years been laughing the doctors in the face, and bidding defiance to their skill,) before Dr. HAYNES "bottles him up." ==========================================================================
