Translation
Treats lung heat. Ginseng, lycium root bark, bupleurum, raw rehmannia, and astragalus, 1.5 don each; anemarrhena and gypsum, 1 don each; red poria 0.5 don. Cut the above, make one packet, add 3 slices of ginger, decoct and take. It also treats cold accumulated within the viscera with heat in the construction — the pulse insufficient on pressing, in surplus on lifting: Yang in surplus and Yin insufficient. — Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Hwa)
