Translation
Treats withdrawal-mania with singing and laughing and going naked, heedless of water or fire. Round white pinellia, large arisaema, genuine iron powder, typhonium and notopterygium, 2 nyang each; large aconite (raw), 1 nyang 5 don; large cinnabar, bright red amber and silkworm, 1 nyang each; alum (calcined), 5 don; fifty scorpions; gold leaf, thirty leaves. Powder them and take 4 don at a dose, stirred into the juice pressed from 4 nyang of fresh ginger; if the pungency is disliked, add a little warm water. The Bonsabang says: iron powder does not only transform phlegm and settle the heart — it is singular in crushing and curbing liver evil. Where there is much vexation and anger and the liver evil is too exuberant, iron powder can subdue it. The Inner Classic saying that yang reversal with angry mania is treated with iron filings is this. — Deukhyo 得效 (Donguibogam · Sin)
