治諸蟲如神. 大黃 四兩, 皂角ㆍ雷丸ㆍ苦練根 各一兩, 木香 二錢. 右爲末, 酒糊和丸梧子大, 茶淸下三四十丸. 《回春》

Translation

Treats the various worms with divine effect. Rhubarb 4 nyang; gleditsia, omphalia and chinaberry root bark 1 nyang each; costus 2 don. Powder them, bind with wine paste into pills the size of a firmiana seed, and take thirty or forty with clear tea. — Manbyeong Hoechun 回春 (Donguibogam · Chung)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Five medicinals, and rhubarb is four-ninths of the weight — the Hoechun's simplest worm pill, where the purge does most of the work and three vermifuges ride it out. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
