Translation

Treats vacuity cold dysentery red and white with prolapse of the rectum. Honey-stir-fried poppy husk and tangerine peel, 5 fun each; blast-fried dried ginger, 6 fun; chebula rind, 7 fun. Powder, make one packet, decoct in water, and take it dregs and all on an empty stomach. — Dongwon 東垣 (Donguibogam · Daebyeon)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Four drugs in very small doses, taken dregs and all so that the astringents act on contact through the length of the gut. The prolapse in the indication is what a long dysentery does to a weakened patient, and the formula treats it the only way this pharmacy can — by reducing the straining. Poppy husk again, and again it would work. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
