You litterally typed the solution (kinda) in the title.

You need to use the following

subtract arg-1 from {health::%player%}

Instead of

remove arg-1 from {health::%player%}

"remove" is used when you want to remove something specific from a string.
"subtract" is used when you, well, want to subtract a integer/number from a variable.

E.g. say I have the variable "{some.variable}" and it's set to "5".

If I then do this, it will try and remove the number 1 from the variable, instead of subtracting 1 from the variable containing the integer "5", it will do nothing because the variable doesn't contain the integer "1".

remove 1 from {some.variable}

I hope this helped
