医那三日一发的疟疾,当取七棵棕树上的七根刺、七根梁上的七片木、七座桥上的七根桩、七个炉里的七样灰、七处门臼里的七样尘(门臼就是门枢转动的那个窝)、七只船上的七样沥青、七粒莳萝、并一条老狗须上的七根毛,拿一根头发作的线,把这几样系在衣领的口上。
For tertian fever, which afflicts one every three days, let one bring seven thorns from seven palm trees, and seven slivers from seven beams, and seven pegs from seven bridges, and seven types of ashes from seven ovens, and seven types of dust from seven door sockets, the hole in which the hinge of the door revolves, and seven types of tar from seven boats, and seven cumin seeds, and seven hairs from the beard of an old dog, and let him bind it to the opening of the neckline of his garment with a thread made of hair.
