Translation
A spirit-like medicine for the three wasting-thirsts with disinhibited urination: it forbids seminal loss, stops white turbidity, and extends the years. Cuscuta 10 nyang (soaked and prepared in wine); schisandra 7 nyang; white poria, lotus seed, and dioscorea, 3 nyang each. Powder the above; separately grind a further 3 nyang of dioscorea powder, cook it with the wine in which the cuscuta was steeped into a paste, and bind into pills the size of parasol-tree seeds. Take 50–70 pills with thin rice water on an empty stomach. Binding with refined honey is also fine. — Deukhyo 得效 (Donguibogam · Sogal)
