Mix with a drop of vinegar until smooth. Dip a new goat-hair brush into the mixture and apply it to the tip of the tumor. For a tumor the size of a bowl, apply a dot the size of a longan seed; for one the size of a teacup, apply a dot the size of a soybean. Reapply frequently as it dries. The tumor will wither and fall off on its own. If a blood tumor ruptures, mix in hair ash; if a sebaceous cyst ruptures, mix in ash from burned white hemp bark.
