Burned to ash for treating dysentery.

Originating from Dongyang (Japan), it has a fragrant and pungent odor, with a very thick and rich taste. Each dose should not exceed half a cup; it greatly assists Yuan Qi (Original Qi) and rapidly boosts mental spirit. Brought by merchant ships, high-ranking officials such as Governors-General and Provincial Governors often stockpile large quantities for emergency needs; or when exhausted by important matters, a single drop entering the mouth can multiply one's spirit a hundredfold, acting faster than opium. *Wuli Xiaoshi* records: "Jili heavy-distilled liquor, brewed with safflower and walnut added to the yeast starter, is effective for treating frequent urination."

The taste is sweet and acrid, with a penetrating and spreading nature; it can swiftly unblock all meridians and benefit the vital energy of Yuan Qi. Drinking one or two drops daily regulates weakness with miraculous effect.
