For male patients, use female-made socks; for female patients, use male-made socks. (*Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold*) Treats withdrawal symptoms from alcohol abstinence: soak the felt insole in wine overnight, drink in the morning until vomiting occurs, then stop.
Leather boots treat tinea and fungal infections: take old boot soles, burn to ash, and mix with alum powder for topical application. First, cleanse the area with a decoction of green onion and Sichuan pepper (*Compendium of Materia Medica*).
