Translation
Treats wind damp with a slippery diarrhoea. Medicated leaven, chuanxiong, white atractylodes and blast-fried aconite, equal parts. Powder, make pills with wheat-flour paste the size of a paulownia seed, and take thirty to fifty on an empty stomach in rice water. The Zuozhuan says that wheat leaven and chuanxiong can remove dampness. Where the spleen is damp and there is diarrhoea, it does not miss once in ten thousand; it also treats undigested-food diarrhoea. — Bonsabang 本事 (Donguibogam · Daebyeon)
