Translation

Treats all wind diseases. Blast-fried aconite kusnezoffii, blast-fried aconite and blast-fried typhonium, 1 nyang each; silkworm, stir-fried tribulus, trogopterus dung, alum calcined dry and myrrh, 5 don each; cinnabar, ink ground to a liquid and musk, 2 don 5 fun each. Powder and mix evenly with the ink liquid, make six pills to the nyang and coat with gold foil. Take one pill in half a cup of wine with ginger juice, warmed; then drink a further one or two seung to help the medicine's force, cover with bedclothes, and the effect is when the sweat comes. — Uibang Yuchwi 得效 (Donguibogam · Pung)

Clinical commentary 臨床

**This must not be prepared.** Three aconites at a nyang each, plus cinnabar and CITES-listed musk, and then the instruction to drink a further one or two seung of wine on top of the dose to help it along. A pint of wine with a gram of mixed aconites is the combination most likely to end in a death, and the covering and sweating that follow would worsen the cardiovascular strain. Ink as the binding liquid is the one neutral detail; gold foil the usual theatre. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
