Translation
Treats piles of every kind and disperses the swelling. Realgar, sulphur and clear alum in equal parts. Powder them; in a new dish spread half the alum powder first, then the other medicines, then cover with the rest of the alum, and calcine until the alum is withered. Grind to a powder, mix with spittle and apply, until it dries and falls away. Afterwards powder gypsum and gallnut and apply to close the mouth of the sore — divinely effective. — Uihak Gangmok 綱目 (Donguibogam · Hueum)
