Processing

Grind each of the above herbs into an extremely fine powder. Mix them together, then add 4 qian of mercury and a small amount of chewed tea leaves. Grind until no granules remain visible. Place the mixture in an earthenware jar and simmer over low heat for half a shichen, until the mixture forms a hard cake. Place the jar in a large basin, seal the top of the jar tightly with rice paper, and fill the basin with clean ash, leaving half a cun of space at the top of the jar.Cover the ash completely with roof tiles, then surround the top of the jar with white charcoal. Heat gently over a low flame for the duration of one stick of incense. Remove the charcoal and wait for the jar to cool. Use a goose feather to brush off the pure white residue—this is the highest-quality portion. Store it in a porcelain jar placed on the ground to dissipate any residual heat. Use half as a powder; for the other half, roll it into thin strips using a thick paste, coat them with realgar, and store them in a bottle for future use.

Benefits

Toxic boils.

Instructions for Use

For any boil, use the edge of a bowl to lancing it open, then wipe away all the blood. Take one pill of the red ointment, grind it into a fine powder, and apply it to the affected area. If lancing creates a small hole, insert the medicine into the hole. In both cases, seal the area with several layers of dampened rice paper. After 1–2 days, remove the paper; the boil head will naturally fall out gradually, and applying a poultice will bring about a cure.
