Make the "Three Mountains" mudra with the left hand, hold one chicken egg, make the "Sword" mudra with the right hand, recite the incantation over the egg seven times silently, then immediately throw it into the fire. The fire will extinguish itself. If one is ineffective, seven will extinguish it. The incantation is: "Fushi Faren Tianzun".

Crush the root of *Acanthopanacis Tricnophori Radix* (Niukouci) to extract juice, brush it onto the affected area with a chicken feather for cure; this is an immortal prescription.

Chew fresh *Raphani Radix Alba* (Sheng Baituoluo) and swallow the juice for immediate relief.

Mash *Taraxaci Herba* (Pugongying), apply as a paste to the affected area for cure. Another prescription: crack the top of an egg and place it over the snake bite site. When the egg turns black, replace it with another. Continue replacing until the yolk and white inside are not very dark, then the injury will heal. (Also treats centipede and scorpion bites.) Another prescription: scrape urine scale from a chamber pot, mix with saliva to form a paste, and apply to the affected area for immediate cure. Another prescription: take one bowl of *Isatidis Folium* (Dalan) juice, add two qian of *Realgar* powder, mix well, apply dots to the wound, and have the patient slowly drink the vinegar contained within.

Quickly pluck one red hair from the center of the scalp, crush fresh *Polygoni Multiflori Radix Praeparata* (Sheng Heshouwu) to extract juice, mix with wine and drink; apply the dregs to the affected area to stop pain immediately.

For any snake, scorpion, or centipede bite, grind *Trogopterori Faeces* (Wulingzhi) into powder and apply to the wound for immediate cure.

(Abdomen swollen like pregnancy, threads growing all over the body.)
Drink sheep milk; the condition will subside in a few days. For those with sores all over the body, drink good wine until drunk; shortly after, parasites resembling small millet grains will emerge from the flesh. Another prescription: drink one bowl of blue juice slowly and apply to the bite site for effect. Chicken comb blood applied also works; mash *Morus Cortex* (Sangbaipi) to extract juice and apply for immediate cure. Alternatively, apply *Viticis Fructus* oil (Manjingzi) or *Allii Macrostemonis Bulbus* juice (Xiebai) to the bite sites; both are effective.

If poisonous water is swallowed, snakes must grow in the abdomen; mix *Realgar* with water and ingest to expel them.

First, drink one bowl of refined sesame oil (*Sesami Oleum*), then insert powdered *Alumen* (Bai Fan) into the wound. Also, mix rock sugar with water, drink one or two bowls, and apply to the wound. Drink fresh *Puerariae Radix* juice (Sheng Ge) and use it to wash the sore. Drinking heavily to induce drunkenness helps vomit out toxic vapors, which is beneficial. Drinking a small amount of sesame oil is also effective. Another prescription: mash fresh ginger and alumen, apply to the site, and simultaneously drink ginger juice to detoxify; this is effective.
