Translation

Dots away a black mole at once, and is best of all. Take a seung and a half of ash from a sugar-boiling furnace and a seung of air-slaked lime roasted red, hold them in a bamboo sieve and pour three bowls of boiling water slowly through; the one bowl of liquor that runs off is simmered in a pan over a low fire to a thin paste. Add powdered croton first, then toad venom, 2 don of each, with 5 pun of powdered sparrow droppings and 1 don of roasted lime powder; stir evenly and simmer again to a stiff flour paste. Take it off, let it cool, and store it in a sealed earthen jar so the air does not get at it. To use, lift out a little on the head of a hairpin, put it on the fingernail, breathe on it and work it into a mud; open the place with a needle and dot the medicine on. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Pi)

Clinical commentary 臨床

A caustic, and the method is lye-making: lime and furnace ash leached with boiling water, the run-off boiled down, croton and toad venom worked in. It is then applied to skin deliberately broken with a needle. The storage instruction — sealed, air kept off — is because the lye draws water and goes dead. **Contains caustic lime, croton and toad venom, applied to broken skin. This must not be prepared.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
