Translation
Treats a faint thready pulse in the lower body with yin wilting that will not rise. Prepared rehmannia and lycium fruit 1 nyang 5 don each; dioscorea, achyranthes, polygala, cornus, morinda, poria, schisandra, acorus, cistanche, paper-mulberry fruit, eucommia and fennel 1 nyang each. Powder them and bind with honey and jujube flesh into pills the size of parasol-tree seeds; take thirty to fifty on an empty stomach with warm wine or salt decoction. There are also cases of wilting brought on by severe constrained fire, which the Return to Youth Elixir cannot raise; for those one should take phellodendron and anemarrhena, medicinals that clear fire and firm the kidney. — Jipryak 集略 (Donguibogam · Jeoneum)
