After several days, the stubborn root will naturally detach. Effect is achieved when pus is clean and hardness recedes. If hardness remains, continue use until completely resolved.

When "pearl flowers" appear, remove dregs and filter through cloth. Return oil to the pot, slowly sift in Huangdan while stirring constantly with the five branches until a drop forms a bead in cold water. Remove and store. Do not expose to fire when using; melt in a double boiler, spread on red silk for application.

Boil again in a crucible several times, let cool slightly. Mix in bile of three pigs, 3 qian of *Viridians cupri acetum* (Tonglü), which has been soaked overnight in 1 liang of vinegar, then filtered.
