此虫长寸许，色白，其状如蛆，母子相生，有独行者，有个个相接不断者，故能长至一
二丈。治寸白虫无如榧子煎，其效如神。
《本事方》云∶用《良方》锡灰、芜荑、槟榔者极佳，五更服则虫尽下。以此为末，用
石榴根煎汁送下三钱，或丸服亦可。
《庚志》云∶赵子山，字景高，寓居邵武军天王寺，苦寸白虫为患。医者咸云∶是疾当
止酒。然以素所耽嗜，欲罢不能。一夕醉于外舍，至夜半口干舌燥，仓卒无汤饮，适见廊庑
下有瓮水，月色下照，莹然可掬，即酌而饮之，甚甘如饴，连饮数酌，乃就寝。迨晓虫出盈
席，觉心腹顿宽，宿疾遂愈。一家皆惊异，验其所饮，盖寺仆日织草履浸红藤根水也。
小儿疳 ，亦由饮食过伤，致成疳积。身热腹大，面黄，四肢无力，昏睡，鼻烂汁
臭，齿龈生疮，或下痢黑血。皆腹中有虫故也。宜九味芦荟丸、追虫丸、四味肥儿丸、七味
肥儿丸、蟾蜍丸之类主之。虫去之后，仍当调补气血。
《泊宅编》云∶水州通判听军员毛景得奇疾，每语喉中必有物作声相应。有道人教令诵
本草药名，至蓝而默然。遂取蓝捣汁饮之，少顷吐出肉块长一寸余，人形悉具，自后无声。
陈正敏《遁斋闲览》载杨 中年得异病，每发言应答，腹中有小声效之，数年间
其声渐大。有道人见而惊曰∶此应声虫也，久不治，延及妻子，宜读本草，遇虫不应者，当
取服之。 如言，读至雷丸，虫无声，乃顿服之，遂愈。后正敏至长沙，遇一丐者亦
有是疾，环而观之者甚众。因教服雷丸，丐者亦愈。
这种虫子长约一寸，颜色洁白，形状像蛆虫，母子相生，有的单独行动，有的一个个连接不断，因此能长到一丈多。治疗寸白虫没有比得上榧子煎的，效果神奇。
《本事方》记载：使用《良方》中的锡灰、芜荑、槟榔效果极佳，在五更天服用则虫子全部排出。将这些药研成粉末，用石榴根煎煮的汁液送服三钱，或者制成丸剂服用也可以。
《庚志》记载：赵子山，字景高，寓居在邵武军天王寺，深受寸白虫困扰。医生们都认为这种病应当戒酒。然而他向来沉迷饮酒，想要戒除却做不到。一天晚上他在外屋喝醉，到了半夜口干舌燥，匆忙间没有汤水可饮，恰好看见走廊下有一瓮水，月光照耀下，清澈可见，便舀起来饮用，味道甘甜如糖，连续喝了几口，就去睡觉了。等到天亮，排出的虫子铺满了席子，感觉心腹顿时轻松，宿疾于是痊愈。全家人都感到惊异，查验他所饮用的水，原来是寺里的仆人每天编织草鞋浸泡红藤根的水。
小儿疳积（一种因营养不良和寄生虫引起的儿科疾病），也是由于饮食过度损伤，导致形成疳积。表现为身体发热、腹部胀大、面色萎黄、四肢无力、昏睡、鼻部溃烂流脓且气味臭秽、牙龈生疮，或者拉黑血痢。这都是因为腹中有虫的缘故。适宜使用九味芦荟丸、追虫丸、四味肥儿丸、七味肥儿丸、蟾蜍丸等药物为主进行治疗。虫子去除之后，仍然应当调理补益气血。
《泊宅编》记载：水州通判听军员毛景得了奇异的疾病，每次说话时喉咙中必定有物体发出声音相应。有位道人教他诵读本草书中的药名，读到“蓝”（板蓝根）时便沉默不语。于是取蓝草捣汁让他喝下，过了一会儿吐出一块肉，长度一寸多，人形完全具备，从此不再有声响。陈正敏《遁斋闲览》记载杨中年得了一种怪病，每次发言应答，腹中有小声模仿他，几年间那声音逐渐变大。有位道人见状惊讶地说：“这是应声虫，长久不治疗，会蔓延波及妻儿，应当诵读本草书，遇到虫子不应声的药名，就取该药服用。”杨如言所说，读到“雷丸”时，虫子不再出声，于是立刻服用，病就好了。后来正敏到长沙，遇到一个乞丐也有这种病，围观的人很多。于是教导他服用雷丸，乞丐也痊愈了。
This worm is about one cun in length, white in color, and resembles a maggot. It reproduces through mother-offspring generation; some move independently, while others connect end-to-end continuously, allowing them to grow up to one or two zhang long. There is no remedy superior to Feizi Jian (Persimmon Seed Decoction) for treating Taenia solium (Tapeworm); its efficacy is miraculous.
*Ben Shi Fang* (Prescriptions of the Capable Physician) states: Using Xihui (Tin Ash), Wuyi (Chrysanthemum indicum fruit), and Binglang (Areca Nut) from *Liang Fang* yields excellent results. Administered at the fifth watch (early morning), all worms will be expelled. These ingredients should be ground into powder and taken with decoction made from Pomegranate Root bark, three qian per dose, or alternatively administered as pills.
*Geng Zhi* records: Zhao Zishan, courtesy name Jinggao, resided at Tianwang Temple in Shaowu Jun, suffering severely from Taenia solium infestation. Physicians unanimously advised abstaining from alcohol. However, due to his deep addiction, he found it impossible to quit. One night, he became drunk at an external lodging. By midnight, his mouth was dry and tongue parched. In haste, lacking tea or water, he noticed a jar of water under the corridor eaves. Illuminated by moonlight, the water appeared clear and scoopable. He drank it, finding it sweet as syrup, consumed several mouthfuls, and then went to bed. At dawn, the expelled worms covered the mat, and he felt immediate relief in his heart and abdomen; his chronic ailment was cured. His family was astonished. Upon investigation, the water he had drunk was actually water used by temple servants daily to soak red vine roots for weaving straw sandals.
Xiao'er Ganji (Pediatric Malnutrition Syndrome), also known as "Gan," arises from excessive dietary injury leading to accumulation. Symptoms include fever, abdominal distension, sallow complexion, limb weakness, lethargy, nasal ulceration with foul-smelling discharge, gingival sores, or black bloody dysentery. All these are caused by intestinal parasites. Treatment should primarily involve Jiwei Lulin Wan (Nine-Ingredient Aloe Pill), Zhuichong Wan (Worm-Chasing Pill), Siwei Feier Wan (Four-Ingredient Spleen-Nourishing Pill), Qiwei Feier Wan (Seven-Ingredient Spleen-Nourishing Pill), or Chan Chu Wan (Toad Pill). After the parasites are eliminated, regulation and tonification of Qi and Blood remain necessary.
*Bo Zhai Bian* records: Mao Jing, a military officer serving as Assistant Prefect of Shuizhou, suffered from a bizarre illness where a substance in his throat would echo every time he spoke. A Daoist priest instructed him to recite herb names from the Materia Medica. When he reached "Lan" (Isatis Root/Indigo Plant), he fell silent. Consequently, Isatis root juice was extracted and administered. Shortly after, he vomited a piece of flesh over one cun long, completely resembling a human form, and the echoing sound ceased thereafter. Chen Zhengmin's *Dun Zhai Xian Lan* (Leisurely Readings from Dunzhai) records that Yang Zhongnian suffered from a strange disease where a small voice inside his abdomen echoed his speech and responses. Over several years, this voice grew louder. A Daoist priest, witnessing this, exclaimed: "This is Ying Sheng Chong (Echoing Worm). If left untreated for long, it will spread to his wife and children. He should read the Materia Medica; when he reaches a herb name that causes the worm to fall silent, he should take that herb." Yang followed this advice. Upon reading "Lei Wan" (Polyporus Pill/Fungus Pill), the worm remained silent. He immediately ingested it and recovered. Later, Zhengmin traveled to Changsha and encountered a beggar with the same condition, surrounded by many onlookers. He taught the beggar to take Lei Wan, and the beggar too was cured.
