White dog blood combined with white chicken meat, white goose liver, white sheep meat, black chicken meat, egg soup, etc., are all forbidden for patients. In spring, dogs have red eyes and dry noses. Those prone to mania should not eat dog. *Tang Ben Zhu* states: *Bie Lu* records that dog bone ash treats dysentery, generates flesh, and applies to horse sores. Black dog blood treats difficult labor with transverse presentation and blood rushing to the heart. Mandibular bone treats various pediatric epilepsies. Testicles treat twelve diseases in women, taken as ash. Hair treats difficult labor. White dog feces treat ding sores.

Note by Minister Yu Xi et al.: Citing *Medicine Pairs*: Bone within feces is neutral. Ri Hua Zi states: Yellow dog provides major tonification, others provide slight tonification. Ancient saying: Dioscorea is cool but tonifying; dog meat is warm but not tonifying. Although this saying exists, consumption is ultimately beneficial, yet due to foul odor, many refuse to eat it.
