Instructions for Use

If a patient with typhoid fever presents with a faint and fine pulse, cold and numb limbs, or has previously experienced diarrhea, boil mugwort into a decoction of approximately one zhan. First, drink half of the hot mugwort decoction, then chew one pill thoroughly and swallow it with the remaining decoction. Sweating will occur shortly thereafter, and the patient will recover; for severe cases, two pills will certainly cure the condition.
