 partibus additur et iiscum quatuor diebus elap- 

 gis destillatur. Olei hujus destillati vim nulla 

 vermiuni species eludere posse videlur, nee solum-

 taeniae pellit, sed distomata eti am hepatica in-

 magnas, bobus nimirum uncias duas ad quatuor us- 

 que ; equis unam ad tres uncias ; equuleis, vitulis, 

 ovibus drachmam ; suibus drachmam semis ad scru- 

 pulos duos, canibus pro magnitudine diversa, por- 

 tionem minorem drachmam serais, vel scrupulum, 

 vel hujus partem dimidiam offert. Homines equi- 

 dem ob gustum ejus nimis ingratum saepius recus- 

 ant, alias meliori uti non possent antihilminthico.''
