Clinical commentary 臨床
**Contains calomel (mercurous chloride), which is toxic and absorbed from a raw surface. For external use only.**
生肌 — engendering flesh, which the tradition treats as a distinct stage after the dead tissue is gone. The staging is right even where the powders are not. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
