Translation

Treats fistulous piles with the stool hard and straining out the bowel head, with bleeding and bitter pain. Bush-cherry seed and gleditsia kernel (burnt) 1 don each; immature bitter orange 7 pun; gentiana macrophylla, hemp seed, angelica tails, fresh rehmannia and atractylodes lancea 5 pun each; rhubarb (roasted) and alisma 3 pun each. Cut up, make one packet, decoct in water and strain, then stir in the two kernels and take. — Dongwon 東垣 (Donguibogam · Hueum)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Bush-cherry seed and hemp seed are oily rather than purgative: they soften the stool instead of driving it, which is what 7.19's rule calls for. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
