Mix the two ingredients evenly. First, reinforce a clay jar with paper筋 (paper strips) and glue mud so it can hold the medicine. After the mud dries, place the medicine inside, seal tightly with mud, and bake in a roasting cage until thoroughly heated. Place it on a square brick inscribed with Bagua (Eight Trigrams) and Wuxing (Five Elements) characters. Use one jin of charcoal, stack layers around, and start lighting fire from below at Si and Wu hours, allowing heat to penetrate gradually upwards. Pick up any falling embers and return them to the fire. Continue until overnight, when the fire cools and charcoal is consumed. Leave for another night. Once the jar is cool and set, remove, grind finely, sift through a silk sieve to extreme fineness, store in a porcelain box, and use according to the aforementioned method.

Administer several times day and night; more is better. Continue taking it until the wound closes; further administration is even better, as it repairs previous damage and prevents future complications.

Generally, carbuncles and ulcers arise from stagnation of Qi and Blood and accumulation of Wind-Toxin. Delayed treatment leads to external muscle destruction and internal organ attack, causing great harm. Take the medicine as soon as symptoms appear, doubling the dosage.
