Translation
Treats running-piglet mounting qi surging upward with dragging pain in the lower abdomen, with divine effect. Evodia 1 geun — of it four nyang steeped in wine, four in vinegar, four in boiling water and four in a child's urine, all then dried over a low fire; alisma 2 nyang. Powder the pair, bind with a wine-and-flour paste into pills the size of parasol-tree seeds, and take fifty to seventy on an empty stomach with salt decoction. The Immun calls it the Four-Processings Evodia Pill. — Gukbang 局方 (Donguibogam · Jeoneum)
