Translation

Plugs the opening of a fistulous pile. Arsenic 1 don; alum 2 don; litharge and cinnabar 5 don each. First grind the arsenic fine and spread it on the bottom of a pan, then spread the powdered alum over it and calcine until the smoke is gone; then grind the litharge and cinnabar fine, mix evenly with white rice cake and make pointed pellets the size of a wheat grain. Put one into the fistula opening, and when the dead flesh is all gone apply Engender the Flesh Powder. — Dansim 丹心 (Donguibogam · Hueum)

Clinical commentary 臨床

**Contains arsenic, litharge and cinnabar — three lethal poisons placed inside a fistula track. This must not be prepared.** The sequence it belongs to is nonetheless the right one: destroy the dead tissue first, then dress the clean wound. Saenggi-san below is the second half. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
