Benefits

Smallpox is caused by the combined attack of wind and cold; the toxin is severe and obstructed, unable to reach the surface. The eruption is slow; symptoms progress from fever to the appearance of spots. Within three days, the patient experiences coarse breathing, shortness of breath, abdominal distension, restlessness, delirium, and restless sleep; both types of constipation occur; the hair stands on end and appears puffy; and the eyes remain closed.

Note

After three days, when the smallpox lesions have fully erupted and blood blisters have formed, and all the previous symptoms have subsided, this formula should no longer be used, as excessive dispersing action may hinder the subsequent stage of serous discharge and resolution.
