Translation
Treats heart pain from roundworms gnawing. Elm-fruit paste and omphalia 5 don each; dried lacquer (fried until the smoke is gone) 1 don. Powder them and take 2 don stirred into warm water; a child takes half a don. — Seui Deukhyobang 得效 (Donguibogam · Chung)
Clinical commentary 臨床
Three medicinals and a dose for children — the chapter's simplest vermifuge. 炒烟盡, fried until the smoke is gone: dried lacquer is roasted until it stops fuming, which drives off what makes it a contact allergen. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
