Relieves all kinds of vexatious heat, dry mouth, and thirst with desire to drink water. If it is excess heat (Excess Heat), this formula resolves it without damaging the primordial qi (Yuan Qi). If there is fatigue and reduced appetite, it is fever due to stomach deficiency (Stomach Deficiency Fever); cold-natured medicines should not be taken, and the treatment should focus on warming the middle (Warming the Middle Jiao).

Treats all types of malaria (Nue Ji). However, malaria should not be forcibly arrested; tonification is appropriate.
Liuhuang (Sulfur, one liang) Cihuang (Realgar, red color from Yinan Mountain, one liang) Pishuang (Arsenic Trioxide, one qian)
Grind into powder, place in a jar, seal tightly with salt mud, air-dry in shade, fire-calcine for the duration of three incense sticks, allow to cool, then retrieve. Form pills using vinegar paste to the size of a Chinese quince seed. Take five pills per dose, swallowed with rice water on an empty stomach. Whenever Arsenic Trioxide is used, cut off the top of a radish as a lid, hollow out the bottom section, insert the arsenic, replace the lid, wrap in paper, and roast over fire until thoroughly cooked but retaining its medicinal nature. Since this pill has already been fire-calcined, radish processing is unnecessary.
When forming pills, the mixture must be ground and blended extremely uniformly. If uneven, the arsenic content may vary; excessive amounts could cause fatal injury.
