One ancient copper coin (soaked in vinegar seven times, preferably a large one), one qian of Eupolyphaga Steleophaga (Dibiechong), three qian each of Frankincense and Myrrh, and five fen of Ningenbai (Human Waste Deposit) are mixed evenly and ground into powder. This is paired with an equal amount of fried sweet watermelon seeds. Each dose consists of one spoonful taken with wine.

Rhubarb, Phellodendri Cortex, Safflower, Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Tail), Dipsacus Root, Calamus Wood, Cassia Twig, Angelica Pubescens Root, Lonicerae Japonicae Flos, Angelica Dahurica Root, Moutan Cortex, Fetal Hair, Pinelliae Tuber, Red Peony Root, Lianjie, Saposhnikoviae Root, Rehmannia Root (Raw), Bletillae Rhizoma, Acanthopanacis Senticosi Cortex, and Drynariae Rhizoma are soaked in six jin of Sesame Oil for seven days. The mixture is boiled until the herbs turn withered and discolored. The residue is removed, and the oil is further boiled until it forms beads when dropped into water. Three jin of Lead Carbonate (Feidan) are added to form the plaster.

Fine tea, Frankincense, Myrrh, Puppy Bone Ash (one liang each), Pedilum (Ercha), Camphor, Dragon's Blood, Elephant Skin (five qian each), Calomelas (two qian), and Musk (five fen) are all ground together.

Aconitum Carmichaelii Debit Root (Chuanwu), Aconitum Kusnezoffii Root (Caowu), Red Peony Root, Angelica Dahurica Root, Bletillae Rhizoma, Lindera Root, Cassia Twig, Safflower, Drynariae Rhizoma, Calamus Wood, Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizoma (one liang each), Lagerstroemia Speciosa Bark (four liang), and Sesame Oil (three jin). The herbs are sliced and soaked for seven days, then boiled in a pot until black. The residue is filtered out. One bowl each of Ginger Juice, Child's Urine, Scallion Juice, Boehmeria Nivea Root Juice, and Perilla Frutescens Juice (Jinbuhuan) are added. The mixture is boiled again until it forms beads when dropped into water. It is taken out and weighed; if it reaches three and a half jin, one jin of Lead Carbonate (Feidan) and half a jin of Tin Oxide Powder (Shufen) are added to form the plaster. Seven qian each of Frankincense and Myrrh, and one qian five fen of Musk are added, stirred well, cooled, bottled, and buried in the soil for half a month before use.

Frankincense and Myrrh (one liang each), Fetal Bone (two qian), Natural Pyrite (quenched in vinegar fourteen times, three qian), Eupolyphaga Steleophaga (roasted and powdered, five qian), and Hematite (Wumingyi, washed, one liang) are each ground into fine powder. For use, add six liang of Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Tail), four liang of Calamus Wood Nodes, four bowls of good wine, and two bowls of child's urine to a clay pot. Boil slowly over low heat until one bowl of paste remains. Filter the residue, add half a jin of red cane sugar, and mix well. The aforementioned six powders are formed into pills the size of longan seeds, coated with Cinnabar. Take two or three pills per dose with good wine, administered prior to receiving corporal punishment. There is a rhyme: "Iron Shirt Pill contains Frankincense, Fetal Bone and Calamus Wood are naturally good, Earth Beetle and Wumingyi made into honey pills can save people from whip injuries." Fetal Bone Pills are used for injuries after whipping. Pre-collect one dog bone, store it in a clay jar with vinegar, boil it, seal the outside with salt mud firmly, coat tightly with salt and cement, and roast over moderate fire for three incense sticks' time. Place one sheep fetus in a jar, seal the mouth with salt mud, watch carefully over moderate fire, and maintain the same timing as above. Duojiao Jiangjun (a herb) also uses vinegar, sealed with salt mud in a jar, controlled with moderate fire, and timed identically to the previous method. The Fetal Bone Honey Pills are roasted and powdered, stored separately as follows:
