Treats the five withdrawals and the hundred epilepsies. Minium and alum, 1 nyang each. Chisel a hollow in a brick, set the minium in first and the alum on top, calcine with five geun of charcoal, and when the fire is spent take it out and grind it fine; mix with pig's heart blood and make pills the size of a mung bean, and take ten to twenty with tangerine peel decoction. <span class='sochu'>Also called Yellow and White Elixir.</span> — Samin 三因 (Donguibogam · Sin)
