Translation

Treats macular sores gone purple-black, foul and broken down. Mix the two together and paint it on with a chicken feather. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Pi)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Named for its two ingredients and given as a method rather than a formula — the proportions are left to the hand. A chicken feather for a brush, because the broken skin will not take a cloth. Mirabilite and bile are both bitter cold and both drawing, used here on the worst stage of the eruption, when the macules have ulcerated. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
