Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑
治痔瘡腫痛坐臥不得, 諸藥不效, 惟此極妙, 一點卽好. 大田螺 八九箇, 鍼破頂盖, 入白礬末少許, 置地上尖底埋土中, 其頂盖仰天, 經一宿, 次日取盖上水汁, 以鷄羽塗痔上五七次卽消. 《種杏》
Translation
Treats a pile sore swollen and painful so that one can neither sit nor lie, where no medicine answers; only this is excellent, and one dab sets it right. Eight or nine large river snails: prick open the lid of each, put in a little powdered alum, set them on the ground with the pointed ends buried in the earth and the lids facing the sky, and leave overnight. Next day take the liquid that has gathered on the lids and paint it on the piles with a fowl's feather five to seven times, and it disperses. — Jonghaeng 種杏 (Donguibogam · Hueum)
