患疣拭之二七遍，令烂去疣。尝有妪人患滞冷，积年不瘥。徐嗣伯为诊曰∶此
尸疰也，当以死人枕煮服之乃愈。于是往古冢中取枕，枕已一边腐缺，妪服之即瘥。张景年
十五岁，患腹胀面黄，众药不能治。以问徐嗣伯，嗣伯曰∶此石蛔耳，极难疗，当取死人枕
煮服之。得大蛔虫，头坚如石者五、六升，病即瘥。沈僧翼患眼痛，又多见鬼物。嗣伯曰∶
邪气入肝，可觅死人枕煮服之。竟可埋枕于故处，如其言，又愈。王晏问曰∶三病不同，皆
用死人枕而俱瘥，何也？答曰∶尸疰者，鬼气也，伏而未起，故令人沉滞，得死人枕治之，
魂气飞越，不复附体，故尸疰自瘥。石蛔者，医疗既癖，蛔虫转坚，世间药不能遣，所以须
鬼物驰之，然后乃散，故令煮死人枕服。夫邪气入肝，故使眼痛而见魍魉，须邪物以钩之，
故用死人枕之气，因不去之，故令埋于冢间也。
主难产。临时取五寸，烧为末，酒下。 带最佳。

For warts (skin growths), rub the affected area with a dead person's pillow twenty-one times until the wart rots and falls off. There was once an old woman suffering from stagnation of cold-dampness, which had not healed for years. Xu Sibai diagnosed her and said, "This is Shizhu disease (a chronic consumptive disease caused by ghostly qi). It will only be cured by decocting and taking a dead person's pillow." Thus, he went to an ancient tomb to retrieve a pillow, which was already rotted and missing one side. After the woman took it, she recovered immediately. Zhang Jingnian, at fifteen years old, suffered from abdominal distension and yellow complexion, which could not be treated by various medicines. He asked Xu Sibai for advice. Xu Sibai said, "This is Shihui disease (a condition where roundworms harden like stones), which is extremely difficult to treat. You must take a decoction of a dead person's pillow." Consequently, five or six sheng (a unit of volume) of large, stone-hard roundworms were expelled, and the illness was cured. Shen Sengyi suffered from eye pain and frequently saw ghosts. Xu Sibai said, "Evil qi has entered the Liver. You can find a dead person's pillow, decoct it, and take it." Finally, the pillow was buried back in its original place. Following his instructions, he recovered again. Wang Yan asked, "These three diseases are different, yet all were cured using a dead person's pillow. Why?" The answer was: "Shizhu disease is caused by ghostly qi, which lies dormant without manifesting fully, causing lethargy and stagnation. Treating it with a dead person's pillow causes the soul's qi to fly away and no longer attach to the body, so Shizhu heals itself. Shihui disease results from medical errors forming accumulations, causing roundworms to harden; ordinary worldly medicines cannot expel them, so one must rely on the power of 'ghostly things' to disperse them. Hence, decocting and taking a dead person's pillow is required. Evil qi entering the Liver causes eye pain and visions of monsters. One needs evil substances to hook them out. Therefore, the qi of the dead person's pillow is used. Since the evil qi does not leave, the pillow is buried among the tombs."
