Translation

Treats the throat swollen and blocked. Bluestone 5 don <span class='sochu'>if there is no bluestone, green vitriol may be used instead, put inside a black carp's gall and wind-dried</span>; seven croton kernels, shelled; saltpetre 2 don 5 pun; verdigris calcined and ground 1 don; calomel 5 pun; indigo 1 ja. Float the bluestone with the croton in a copper pan, discard the croton, combine with the saltpetre and the other three, and add a little musk. Blow 1 ja at a time into the throat, and the phlegm and blood are vomited out and it heals at once. — Uihak Gangmok 綱目 (Donguibogam · Inhu)
