Translation
Treats lung abscess with panting and inability to lie down; it also treats propping fluid with urgent panting. Lepidium seed, dry-fried to a yellow and powdered, bound with honey into a pill the size of a bullet; take twenty jujubes and three seung of water, decoct down to two seung, remove the jujubes, put in one pill, decoct again down to one seung, and give it all at once. ○ Son Jo treated a man who in a short while had brought up a seung of phlegm and whose panting and coughing would not stop; after one dose of this he felt the chest clear and easy and had almost no phlegm or spittle left. — Uihak Gangmok 綱目 (Donguibogam · Haesu)
