治一切痔. 夏月三伏內, 於止水中採蝦子<span class='sochu'>一名水馬兒, 高脚水面跳走者是也</span>, 採取三十箇, 用三箇紙包, 每包十箇, 於背陰處懸掛陰乾. 每包作一服, 硏爛空心溫酒調下. 良久乃喫飯, 三日連三服, 十日內見效. 久痔膿血者, 二三十服絶根. 《秘方》
Translation
Treats piles of every kind. In the dog days of summer gather from still water the creature called the water-horse <span class='sochu'>the long-legged one that skates about on the surface</span>, thirty of them; put them in three paper packets of ten each and hang them in a shady place to dry. Each packet is one dose: grind it soft and take on an empty stomach stirred into warm wine, eating only a good while after. Three doses on three successive days, and it shows its effect within ten. For long-standing piles with pus and blood, twenty or thirty doses cut off the root. — Bibang 秘方 (Donguibogam · Hueum)
