It is discussed that diseases of the bone marrow correspond to the Liver and Gallbladder. If there are diseases in the Zang-Fu organs, they all originate from the bone marrow; heat syndromes correspond to the Zang organs, while cold syndromes correspond to the Fu organs. Therefore, those with Bone Marrow Deficiency (Sui Xu) experience headache and mental restlessness, and their bodies often feel cold and tremble. Those with Bone Marrow Excess (Sui Shi) manifest as bodily irritability, courage and ferocity, susceptibility to fright, and heat sensations. Treatment should be based on the specific syndrome.

The above ten ingredients (Note: The original text lists fewer than ten distinct items here, but recorded as per source), pound and sieve five of them into fine powder, and mix with Jujube flesh, Sesami Semen, butter, and sheep marrow. Place in a silver or porcelain vessel, boil over water until thick enough to form pills. Form into pills the size of Sophora japonica seeds.
