Instructions for Use

Whenever a fishbone is lodged in the throat, take a piece about the size of a soapberry and simmer it in one he in of wine until dissolved; then drink it in small sips. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, the bone will come out with the saliva; if not, drink more warm wine until vomiting occurs; if it still does not come out, prepare another dose—it will always be expelled. This remedy is effective even when the bone has been lodged in the internal organs for a long time, causing severe pain and resulting in extreme jaundice and emaciation; taking it will always expel the bone.If mandarin fish is not readily available, silver carp, crucian carp, or common carp may be used instead.
