Instructions for Use
Even if the progression or regression of the illness is unclear, and the pain circles the navel, moving up and down unpredictably; when pressed, the hand feels a pulsating sensation; and the chest feels warm as if there were worms—indicating the disease is moving beneath the skin—immediately take one pill and rub it over the affected area. Rub vigorously until the skin beneath turns blue; if it does not turn blue, it should turn white or black; if it turns red, the disease has killed the patient from within the skin.If stung by a bee or bitten by a snake, or suffering from “evil invasion,” take one pill orally and apply one pill directly to the wound; if the condition does not improve, increase the dose to three pills. If suddenly afflicted by a “flying corpse” causing severe abdominal pain, take three pills orally and crush one pill to apply to the affected area—this will bring immediate relief. For nighttime nightmares followed by awakening in terror, or when attending to the sick or the dying, take one pill orally and soak another pill in water to apply to the affected area; this will ward off evil spirits and prevent them from approaching the person;If suddenly possessed by ghosts or spirits, resulting in delirium and rambling speech, apply one pill to the pulse point and one to the philtrum; recovery will follow immediately; for gu poison, fast for one night; take one pill the next morning; if no effect is felt, increase the dose to two or three pills, stopping once a response is observed;For abdominal masses, abstain from food for one night; take four pills. To dissolve the mass, take one pill three times daily until the mass is gone; the discharge will resemble the white of a chicken egg, or snakes and insects may be expelled. After expulsion, replenish with a soup made from lean meat.
