Heat the tooth until red-hot, then soak it in vinegar; repeat this process three times—heating and soaking—and grind it into a powder after it has cooled. If the patient can tolerate 1 jin of alcohol, use 2 jin of wine to dissolve the tooth ash and have the patient drink it. Cover the patient with a blanket and have them sleep overnight; they will break out in a profuse sweat, and the condition will be completely resolved by the next day. If diarrhea occurs, administer the Baidu Powder.All conditions can be treated within the first three days of onset. For chronic dysentery, scalp sores, and long-standing foot sores, apply a paste made with sesame oil or egg yolk oil.
