Take this before the smallpox spots appear.

Instructions for Use

Take 1 pill per dose; adults take 2 pills. Before the smallpox eruption appears, grind the pills with a strong decoction of licorice; when a fever has already set in, grind them with ginger soup. For those with mild exterior syndrome, reduce the dose slightly; for those who have already passed the exterior stage, omit it. This formula is remarkably effective.
