Kap. XII. Ormsygdomme i hud og underliggende bløddele. 



Man tænkte sig gjerne, at orm var tilstede i gamle saar, i cancer og 

 cancerlignende lidelser, ved lymfangit, panaritium, podagra [chiragra], ring- 

 orm o. s. v. Om ormen opholdt sig i og avledes i de dybere lag af bled- 

 delene, sogte den som oftest at trænge sig frem til overfladen ved at 

 bore sig kanaler (fistler) og huller (f aabninger) op gjennem huden. Den 

 kunde ogsaa findes i selve bensystemet. Om diagnosen af orm i saar se 

 foran. Der benyttedes adskillige midler for at dræbe ormen, og medi- 

 kamenternes virkning understøttedes af besværgelser. 



L. c. § 127: „For intestinal worms. Let the patient drink a cupful of the juice of 

 the plantain [Plantago — major — ], and apply the same herb to the navel. — Another 

 \va_v is to make midlfoil [Achillea millefolium, ryllik] in wine, once whilst fasting, and 

 they will be expelled that day." 



L. c. II § 25 : „For worms in children. 



Take as much as will stand on three golden crowns of wheaten flower bolted [pres- 

 sed] through a fine silken sieve, put it in a glass vial [liden flaske] and pour [held] 

 thereon as much spring water as will suffice to bring it to the consistency of milk, and 

 no more; then let it be given the child to drink, and dead worms will be seen in his 

 evacuations. This is a very excellent recipe." 



L. c. § 433. „Take the juice of tansy [Tanacetum vulgare, reinfann] and milk, 

 strain [filtra!] and boil well till reduced to a third, drinking it warm." 

 L. c. § 178: „For worms in the stomach. 



Make a powder of turnips, by slicing [skive op] them and roasting them before the 

 fire. They should be ground and given to the patient to eat cold, for nine mornings 

 fasting, or at nine separate times, and the patient will be cured." 



L. c. § 192. „To destroy worms in a mans stomach, when nausea is produced. 

 Take the herbs called honey worth [Cerinthe, dansk voxblomst], pound it well with 

 some white wine, warm some thereof and administer to the patient fasting for three 

 mornings, and it will cure him." 



L. c. § 25 : „The roots of the mugwort [Artemisia vulgaris, burod] boiled in wine, 

 will form an issue also; the leaves treated in like manner will destro}'' worms."
