Divide the powder into two portions. Just before use, mix one half with gypsum (finely ground and washed clean with water),Zhishi (finely ground, soaked in warm water, and strained) each 5 qian (for spring and summer); the other half is combined with Guizhi (finely ground, soaked in warm water, and strained) and Xixin (finely ground, soaked in warm water, and strained) each 5 qian (for autumn and winter).

Instructions for Use
Take 1 pill per dose. Place 5 fen of high-quality, bright realgar in a bowl and grind it finely; add well water and grind it together with the medicine, then swallow the mixture. Rinse the realgar with water, ensuring you consume it all. After taking the medicine, burn incense to a length of 3 cun; a natural sweat will break out, and the patient will be cured immediately. If a case of cold-induced fever has developed into a complicated syndrome after sweating, take 2 pills per dose; this will treat both internal and external conditions as well as the exterior, and the patient will recover naturally through sweating.
