[Shengcuan Rusheng San (Delivery-As-Sage Powder)]
Take one ingredient, *Abutilon theophrasti* flower (*Huangshukui Hua*), dry it by roasting, and grind it into a fine powder. Take two qian per dose, mix with warm boiled water, and ingest. The effect is miraculous. For cases involving bleeding, dryness and roughness of the uterus leading to difficult labor with severe pain, take three doses consecutively. After a while, the qi in the abdomen will become relaxed and the fetus slippery, resulting in immediate delivery. (My family often prepares this formula to help others, and it is very effective.) If flowers are unavailable, use only *Abutilon theophrasti* seeds (*Huangshukui Zi*). Grind a small amount (half he) thoroughly, filter out the dregs using wine, and drink warm; this is even better.

Take one pill or half a pill per dose, dissolve in warm wine on an empty stomach. For pregnant women near term, taking five or six pills ensures painless delivery. For those infertile for a long time, taking twenty pills may result in conception within the month. It also treats chronic wind-blood conditions, hemiplegia, and various blood disorders, regardless of duration, with miraculous effects that cannot be fully described.
