Tapeworm

An old cure for tapeworm involved taking a solution of salt one evening and a draught of bitter aloes the next morning.

One suggested method of curing tapeworm seems less likely to work. It involved the person who is unlucky enough to have a tapeworm having to fast for three or four days. After that he or she had to endure the spectacle of having a steak cooked in front of him or her. Supposedly the tapeworm was so hungry by this stage that it will leap out of the patient's mouth in order to get to the food.
