Instructions for Use

When administering, have the patient lie on their back. Dissolve the mixture in water and use a bamboo tube to deliver it into the nose—the left nostril for men, the right for women. When the patient feels the medicine reach their throat and experiences a slight sour sensation, have them sit up and firmly bite down on a copper coin placed against their front teeth. Saliva will begin to flow; once a basinful has been produced, the patient will be cured.
