Instructions for Use

Grind the ingredients into a fine powder and mix thoroughly. Cut fire-resistant paper to size in advance. Spread the mixture onto the paper in layers, each about one fen thick, alternating layers of medicine and paper. Roll it into a cylinder as thick as a small bamboo tube, ensuring it is very firm. Wrap it tightly with 6–7 layers of mulberry bark paper, then brush the outer layer thoroughly with egg white. Be sure to air-dry it in the shade, store it securely, and prevent any loss of potency. When using, light it and use it for fumigation.
