Clinical commentary 臨床

The otolith of the croaker — a real stone from a fish's head — calcined against a stone in the bladder. The Bogam registers the same material in the Urine chapter's simples, and the croaker's ear-stones are large enough to be collected by the pair. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
