Processing
Cast into thin, square plates; pierce holes with an iron rod and thread a string through them. Fill a clean porcelain jar with 1 dou of rice vinegar; suspend the lead plates in a row at the mouth of the jar, leaving about 1 cun of vinegar above them, then seal the jar tightly with paper.Once every 7 days, remove the lead plates and gently scrape off the precipitate onto clean paper using a fine-mesh sieve; repeat this process only once every 7 days. After 5–7 cycles, the efficacy will diminish significantly; at that point, use fresh lead to prepare a new batch. For every 1 liang of precipitate, add half a fen of borneol, grind together into a fine powder, and form into pills the size of a paulownia seed using dew as the binder.
Instructions for Use
Hold one pill in your mouth each night, then lie down without speaking, allowing the pill to dissolve on its own.

Avoid garlic.
