“Inscrībis chartae quod dīcitur "abracadabra", Saepius, et subter repetis, sed dētrahe summae, Ut magis atque magis dēsint elementa figūrīs Singula, quae semper rapiēs, et cētera fīgēs, dōnec in angustum redigātur littera cōnum:”

Write on a piece of paper the word abracadabra, repeating it below while taking away the last letter, so that a single letter is further and further lacking, until it has the shape of a cone: remember to surround the [patient's] neck with linen with the paper hanging from it.
