Instructions for Use
Take it warm in the morning, cover yourself with a blanket to induce sweating; if you fear there may be tiny worms in the sweat, wipe them off with a piece of silk, then immediately burn that silk; diarrhea will follow, and worms will certainly be expelled. If any are not dead, burn them over a high flame and dispose of them in a flowing stream. The patient must not be allowed to know about the medication used, nor should they be told of it in the future. After about 10 days, when the patient’s vital energy has recovered, administer another dose, burn and dispose of it as before, continuing until no more worms are present.
