For cases where, after smallpox, toxic heat rises and causes a membrane to obscure the pupils of both eyes.

Instructions for Use

First, place the rabbit droppings and cicada molts in a porcelain pot with 2 large bowls of clean water. Simmer over low heat until boiling to extract their properties and flavors. Then, slice the pork liver into thin pieces (a deep black male goat liver is even better) and add it to the broth; it will be cooked in one quarter of an hour. Drink the broth first, then eat the liver. After two months, the opacities will have dissipated by half; after one hundred days, the condition will be completely cured.

Note

One must avoid irritability and sudden outbursts of anger. Avoid fried, stir-fried, and pungent or heating foods.
