Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑
治難産, 及死胎不下, 十分危急者. 巴豆 十六箇(去殼), 萆麻子 四十九粒(去殼), 麝香 二錢, 同搗如泥, 攤絹帛上, 貼臍上一時, 産下卽洗去. 《入門》 一方, 萆麻子(去皮) 一兩, 雄黃 二錢, 同硏成膏, 塗母右脚心, 纔産速洗去. 否則腸出. 用此膏塗頂上, 腸自入, 亦名如聖膏. 《得效》
Translation
Treats difficult birth and a dead foetus that will not come down, where the case is most grave. Croton seed sixteen, shelled; castor seed forty-nine, shelled; musk 2 don. Pound them together to a mud, spread on silk and stick it above the navel for one watch; when the birth is delivered wash it away at once. Another formula: castor seed (peeled) 1 nyang and realgar 2 don ground together into a paste, applied to the centre of the mother's right sole and washed off quickly as soon as she delivers — otherwise the bowel comes out. Apply this paste to the crown of the head and the bowel goes back in of itself; it is also called Sagely Paste. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Buin)
