Then, wrap the pill in the green onion pulp and swallow it with good wine. If the ailment is in the upper part of the body, take it after a meal; if in the lower part, take it before a meal. Do not chew the pill, as this may damage the teeth and mouth. Shortly thereafter, it will feel as if pulling a heavy cart for 2–3 li; once sweat breaks out, the condition will be cured, or a bowel movement may occur.
