The incantation states: The sun rises in the east, shining brightly. The dog is not called a dog, but "Da Huang" (a herbal name, here referring to the power to dispel evil). When the Emperor dispatches you, he commands you to bite monkeys and rats, forbidding you to bite humans and cause harm.
If you bite and injure a human, the White Tiger shall swallow into your intestines. Execute swiftly, as if by law. (Another version says: Do not bite humans; instead, let your teeth rot, decay, and be unable to leave, to be eaten by tigers.)

Method to prohibit dog poison:
Dog's teeth, Li Zi of the Heavenly Father, I spit at you until the poison is expelled.
The divine spirit of the Emperor devours your brain marrow; the essence of the White Tiger devours your form. Spit at you fourteen times (two sevens), and the dog's poison will be expelled. Execute swiftly, as if by law. (Blow air onto it, twist the dog's eyes to the left, perform this facing West.)

Method to prohibit dogs from biting humans: (Twist the dog's eyes facing West, hold breath, pass through seven breaths, prohibit seven times, so it does not bite humans.)
My mouth is like the Heavenly Gate, not to be opened casually; my tongue is like a drawn sword, my saliva like autumn frost. The Big Dipper shines, constellations fill the blue sky. Gather voice and qi, upright and vigorous. Altair holds the form, Vega attends beside. This little dog is destroyed by the incantation. Heavenly dogs, earthly dogs, why do you not flee? Those who wish to harm me, may their teeth break and mouths go mute. Execute swiftly, as if by law. (Another method differs below, not adopted now.)

Another method:
Take earth from under the eaves of the west wing, pound it, sieve it through fine silk, mix with bitter vinegar to form balls the size of chicken eggs, and rub them on the wound. The incantation states:
East Wood causes breaking, South Fire causes extinguishing, West Metal causes deficiency, North Water causes exhaustion, Central Earth causes severance. I met the Queen Mother of the West in the Supreme Palace, taught me the prohibition method, told me the divine prescription. East Gou Zhi, West Gou Zhi, mad rabid dogs, bit my Heavenly Lord's son, come out quickly, come out quickly. If you do not come out, do not make me angry. I can spit until mountains collapse, stones crack, fires extinguish, seas dry up. Come out quickly, come out quickly, execute swiftly, as if by law. Recite this incantation three times, break open the mud; if traces matching the dog's fur color are seen, it is effective.

Also take yellow earth from the stove, mix with water to form clay balls the size of chicken eggs, rub on the wound. As the dog's fur color varies, the poison exits with it. Break open the clay ball and examine closely. If the wound hurts, take another basin of water, sprinkle it on the roof, collect the rainwater in a vessel to wash the wound. Pour the remaining water on the ground, mix with mud to seal the wound. Breaking it open must reveal the rabid dog's fur color, and the wound will not hurt severely.

Yellow earth from wells of three families blocks your mouth. I prohibit your four legs from curling and walking, cannot throw right, cannot grasp grass left. When I climb onto the bed, you also do not startle. When I walk ten li away, you also do not rise. Execute swiftly, as if by law.
