Leprosy.

Instructions for Use

Take 3 qian per dose on an empty stomach with cold tea; a bowel movement will occur at daybreak. This treats both parasitic infestations and food stagnation. If the worms appear green, yellow, red, or white, they can be treated; black worms are difficult to treat. Examine the urine in a clean basin—if it resembles crushed bran, wait three days before taking another dose.
