Ash from burned *Ovis Aries Excrement* (Sheep Dung, 羊粪) mixed with sesame oil applied on the carbuncle, covered with a beeswax plaster, expels the toxin within one or two days.
One chicken egg, with a small hole made at the top, into which six *Lyttae Cartharidis* (Red Ladybug, 红娘子) are placed. The egg is wrapped in straw paper and slow-roasted. Remove the *Lyttae Cartharidis*. This stops pain.
Forty-nine seeds of *Phaseoli Vulgaris Semens Rubrum* (Adzuki Bean, 赤小豆) ground into powder, mixed with water and applied topically, ensures cure. However, its nature is sticky and difficult to grind when dry; adding a little powder of *Boehmeriae Niveae Caulis* (Ramie Root, 苎根) prevents stickiness, making this method particularly excellent.
This condition starts on the toes, gradually spreads up to the knee, turns black, is unbearable in pain, and leads to death as segments fall off. It may also occur on the hands. Powdered *Vespa Orientalis Nidus* (Earth Wasp Nest, 土蜂窠) mixed with aged vinegar and applied topically yields immediate recovery.
Make a hole in an egg, insert the affected finger, wait for the egg to liquefy, then replace with a new one. Repeat this three times. For severe snakebite with foul odor, raw *Glycines Max Semen* (Black Soybean, 黑豆) ground into powder, placed inside a silkworm cocoon and applied over the wound.
If the venom appears like a snake extending several inches. One tael of *Sulfur* (Yellow Sulfur, 硫黄) powder applied on the flesh causes immediate retraction.
Powdered *Abutilonis Indici Semen* (Yellow Hibiscus Seed, 黄葵花子), taken with wine: one pill causes one end of the wound to burst, two pills cause both ends to burst, with extraordinary efficacy.
*Bambusae Caulis Fistulosus Longistipitatus* (Long-stalked Gourd) calcined to retain its properties, ground into powder, rubbed on the area, until swelling subsides.
Puncture the sore with a knife, squeeze juice from *Luffae Fructus Retinervia Folium* (Loofah Leaf, 丝瓜叶) and rub it; once maggots are fully expelled, the root of the disease is eliminated.
Crushed *Finger Citrus Fruit* (Buddha's Hand, 佛手) and *Dioscoreae Rhizoma* (Chinese Yam, 山药) applied to the affected area, covering only the periphery while leaving the head exposed, leads to pus discharge and resolution the next day, highly effective.
Another prescription named "Yi Zui Xiao" (One Drunk Dissolution): Red-colored *Gypsum Fibrosum* (Gypsum, 石膏), fire-toxin removed, finely ground. Take three qian each time, washed down with warm wine, until drunk, take another dose after waking up.
Geng Sheng notes: The "Yi Zui Xiao" formula must be used according to the patient's deficiency or excess conditions; do not administer lightly. I once tested Yang's secret recipe, which was very effective and more reliable than this one. The recipe uses one loach, pounded extremely fine, mixed evenly with raw soy milk, and applied topically to reduce swelling. This formula also treats early-stage toxic swellings.
