Clinical commentary 臨床

先嚥肉汁乃服藥 — swallow the broth first, then the medicine. The bait of 14.20.5 built into the dosing instruction, with sparganium and curcuma added to break the mass the worms have made. **Contains morning-glory seed and tin ash, both toxic.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
