Translation

Treats twisted bladder with no urine for eight or nine days. Talc, glauberite and mallow seed 1 don each. Boil in ten jan of water down to five and take in two doses on an empty stomach. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Sobyeon)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Two stones and a slippery seed boiled in a great deal of water — the volume of water is part of the treatment. Eight or nine days without passing urine is a figure no one survives now without a catheter. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
