Another Prescription: For treating hemorrhoids and anal fistulas that have persisted for a long time without healing. First, use seven eggs, placing one fen (approx. 3 g) of Mingfan (Alumen) into each egg, and steam them in rice. Take one egg every morning before breakfast, then use this prescription. Take eight liang of Huanglian powder, six liang of Zhike powder, four liang of Gancao powder, and one piece of male pig large intestine. Cut the intestine into four or five segments, insert the medicines inside, tie both ends tightly with thread, and boil for one day. Remove and set aside. Retain one bowl of the broth. Take one sheng of glutinous rice and one sheng of barley kernels, mix well, and stir-fry until cooked. Combine with the previous medicine and pig intestine, pound one thousand times, and make pills the size of sophora seeds. Take 140-150 pills per dose, three times a day (morning, noon, and evening). Avoid consuming liquor, Sichuan pepper, garlic, and fried foods.

On the Shangsi Day of the tenth lunar month, select plump and mature sophora seeds. Prepare two new tile basins. Place the sophora seeds into the basins according to the method, cover them up and down, and bury them three chi deep under a shady wall. Prepare five or seven black ox gallbladders in advance. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, take out the sophora seeds, place them into the gallbladders, and hang them in a ventilated place away from sunlight to dry naturally. On the Qingming Festival of the following year, take them out and store them in porcelain jars. Take one pill orally on an empty stomach with plain boiled water on the first day, two pills on the second day, gradually increasing until fifteen pills are taken on the fifteenth day. Reduce by one pill on the sixteenth day, and subsequently reduce by one pill daily, repeating this cycle indefinitely. This treats all cases of hemorrhoids and anal fistulas, regardless of whether they are recent or chronic.
