Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

治急心冷痛. 斑猫 七箇, 胡椒 四十九粒. 右同炒令猫焦碎去之, 取椒爲末, 熱酒調下. 《丹心》

Translation

Treats sudden cold heart pain. Seven blister beetles and forty-nine peppercorns, fried together until the beetles are scorched and crumbled, then discarded; take the pepper, powder it and stir into hot wine. — Dansim 丹心 (Donguibogam · Hyung)

Clinical commentary 臨床

The beetles are fried with the pepper and thrown away — the same borrowed-force method the Throat chapter's Baekban-san uses with croton. What is swallowed is pepper only. **Blister beetle contains cantharidin and is severely toxic; it is discarded and must not be taken.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
