Treats yin and yang toxin lying and counterflowing, turned into chest bind, where after five or six days the stool is bound and attacking it does not reach and draining it is not enough; this governs it.

Powder them; take half a jan of rice vinegar and boil the cinnabar, aconite and morning-glory seed in it to a paste, then add the rest and bind into pills the size of a gleditsia seed, coated with calomel; take two with honey water. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Hyung)
