Clinical commentary 臨床

Eight medicinals with a worm assigned to each in the interlinear notes — the nine worms of 14.2.2 answered one at a time. The Jeongjeon's pill is the chapter's systematic vermifuge, where the two lacquer pills above were the Daoist one. **Contains veratrum and realgar (arsenic sulfide), both toxic.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
