It will solidify like frozen ice, taking the form of white quartz with eight facets. When fully formed, some may be as large as a thumb, and some may be 1 chi long; this is called “Seven-Water Ice.”For those experiencing fever after taking mineral remedies, mix this with well water and take 5 fen per dose; a single dose will immediately subdue severe fever. For fever due to typhoid, take one daogui; for children with fever, give an amount the size of a sesame seed.

Note

Do not use in excess; seven days after the fever subsides following medication, one must strictly avoid alcohol, meat, and pungent spices.
