Dissolve one pill in a cup of urine from an uncircumcised boy mixed with wine. After walking for about twenty li, worms will be vomited up, resembling lamp wicks, rotten melon seeds, or toads. If ineffective, take again until the worms are expelled. Burn the expelled worms with red fire or fry them in oil and bury them in a secluded place.
