A red line extends from the nose, about one chi in length; slight movement of it causes pain so severe as to feel like death. The prescription is:
Borax (Pengsha) and Borneolum Syntheticum (Longnao), each 1 fen.
Grind into powder, mix with human milk, and gently apply to the middle of the red line. Suddenly, one feels as if someone is punching their back, and the red line disappears instantly. This is truly called miraculous.
When a person suddenly hears the sound of ants fighting in the ear, this indicates that Kidney Water (Shen Shui) has been exhausted. It is also caused by anger injuring the Liver (Gan). The prescription is:
Radix Paeoniae Alba (Baishao), Prepared Radix Rehmanniae (Shudi), Fructus Corni (Shanzhuyu), each 3 liang; Herba Ophiopogonis (Maidong), 1 liang; Radix Bupleuri (Chaihu), Fructus Gardeniae (Zhizi), each 3 qian; Semen Mustardae (Baijiezi), 1 qian.
Decoct in water and take orally. After several doses, the fighting sound gradually recedes, and recovery occurs within one month.
Itching in the ear, which cannot be stopped by scratching with wood, requires piercing to the bottom with an iron knife until a clanging sound is heard, bringing relief; otherwise, the itching is unbearable, feeling like death. The prescription is:
Os Draconis (Longgu), 1 qian; Spina Gleditsiae Sinensis (Zaoyaoci), two pieces (burned to ash while retaining efficacy); Borneolum Syntheticum (Longnao), 3 fen; Excrement Mus domesticus masculi (Xiongshushi), one piece.
Grind all together into powder, mix evenly with bile water from a rat, then adjust with human milk to form a paste. Insert entirely into the ear canal. Initially, the itching is intolerable, requiring someone to hold both hands firmly; once the itching subsides, it heals naturally.
When a person sees ghosts without cause, regardless of whether the shape has three heads and six arms, or is decapitated and limbless, or wears golden armor, or has a blue face, it is all due to Heart Qi deficiency allowing evil influences to possess them. The prescription is:

Semen Toonae Venosae Oil (Shengtongyou).
Apply to the private parts; the disease heals naturally. Alternatively, wrap the head in filthy undergarments; the monster will laugh loudly and leave, never to return.
The cause of this syndrome is wind in the Kidneys (Shen), driven by Yang Qi, causing a crack to open in the spine, from which over a thousand lice emerge. The prescription is:
Semen Ricini (Bimamu), three grains (ground into a paste); Fructus Jujubae (Hongzao), three pieces.
