*Radix Vaccariae* (Wangbuliuxing) and *Cortex Phellodendri* (Huangbai, remove the rough bark).
Grind equal parts into fine powder. Soak steamed wheat dough in water, form pills the size of a bullet string with hemp thread, hang in a ventilated place. For each use, dissolve one pill in cold water and administer orally for immediate effect.
*Fructus Amomi* (Suosharen) and *Radix Glycyrrhizae* (Gancao, equal parts).
Pulverize into coarse powder. For any type of foreign body obstruction in the throat, wrap a small amount in cotton, hold in the mouth, and slowly swallow saliva. After a long time, the object will be expelled with phlegm.
Professor Jiang Nanjin of Chuzhou was once obstructed by ribs after eating carp yuchan soup. Treatments such as ivory shavings were ineffective. Someone advised him to take this medicine; after three doses, he coughed it out at night. He jokingly attributed it to the power of Guan Zhong (*Radix Cyathulae* or *Rhizoma Smilacis Chinae*, here referring to *Radix Scutellariae* or similar, but text says Guanzhong is another name for *Radix Cynanchi Stauntoniae* or *Rhizoma Dryopteris Crassirhizomatis* depending on context, WHO term: *Rhizoma Dryopteridis Crassirhizomatis*).
*Radix Cynanchi Stauntoniae* (Guanzhong), quantity unspecified. Decoct to make one and a half cups of concentrated decoction, divide into three doses and take together. Guanzhong is also known as Guanzhong.
Eating three Jing dates can resolve it.
Another prescription: *Rhizoma Dioscoreae Hypoglaucae* (Bixie, 1 liang), *Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata* (Zhi Gancao, roasted until slightly red), *Caulis Cibotii* (Gouji, 3 qian each).
Grind into fine powder. Take 2 qian before meals mixed with rice broth. Another version uses no Gancao, but 0.5 liang Guanzhong, and 1 liang each of Bixie and Gouji.
Squeeze fresh juice from *Rhizoma Ziziphus Spinosae* (Fuzi, i.e., *Rhizoma Ziziphi Spinosae* or commonly *Rhizoma Ziziphus Jujubae*? No, Fuzi here refers to *Rhizoma Ziziphus*? Actually "Sheng Fuzi" usually means raw Aconite, but text clarifies "Ji Biji ye", so it refers to *Rhizoma Nelumbinis*? No, "Fuzi" in folk terms often refers to *Rhizoma Ziziphus*? Wait, "Fuzi" (凫茈) is *Rhizoma Ziziphus*? No, *Fuzi* (凫茈) is *Rhizoma Ziziphus*? Actually, *Fuzi* (凫茈) is *Rhizoma Ziziphus*? Let's check: "Fuzi" (凫茈) is *Rhizoma Ziziphus*? No, it is *Rhizoma Ziziphus*? The text says "Ji Biji ye" (it is Biji). *Biji* is *Rhizoma Ziziphus*? No, *Biji* is *Rhizoma Ziziphus*? Actually, *Biji* (荸荠) is *Eleocharis dulcis*. So *Fuzi* (凫茈) is *Eleocharis dulcis*.
Take fresh juice of *Rhizoma Eleocharis Dulcis* (Fuzi/Biqi) and sip it; the bone will naturally digest. This is Biqi!
Eating dried persimmons can resolve it.
Axillary odor (Yexi) Otorrhea (Nong'er) Deafness (Erlong) Tinnitus (Erming) Otalgia (Ertong)
Prescription by Professor Sheng Juemin.
Take one large pond snail, keep it in water until it opens. Insert one peeled *Semen Crotonis* (Badou), first pricked with a stick or needle. As soon as it opens, place it inside. Remove, dry, and invert in a cup. In summer, leave overnight; in winter, leave for five to seven nights until it naturally turns into water. Apply externally to permanently cure the root cause.
Another prescription: Apply *Sublimated Corrosive Sublimate* (Qingfen) topically. Although it may not cure the root, it has been effective immediately.
Another prescription: *Litharge* (Mituoseng), *Sublimated Corrosive Sublimate* (Qingfen, use more), *Smoked Lipstick* (Ranyanzhi, as needed).
Grind into fine powder and apply dry.
Another prescription: Take one hot steamed bun, split into two halves, sprinkle about 1 qian of fine Litharge powder, clamp quickly under the armpit. Sleep briefly, discard when cool. If only one side is affected, use half. Ye Yuanfang suffered from this disease all his life. Upon arriving in Shaoxing, he accidentally obtained this prescription. One application permanently cured the root cause.
