Translation

Good at killing the various worms. Dryopteris and sour pomegranate rind 5 don each; carpesium, elm-fruit paste, dried lacquer and silkworm 3 don each; cinnabar, realgar, omphalia and kansui 1 don 5 pun each. Powder them, bind with boiled rice-flour paste into pills the size of a hemp seed, and take ten at the fifth watch with congee water; a little musk added is better still. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Chung)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Ten vermifuges at once, taken before dawn when 14.20.1 says the worms' heads point upward. The Immun's formula for the swallowed-leech and contaminated-water cases of 14.7. **Contains cinnabar, realgar and kansui, all toxic; musk is from a CITES-listed species.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
