Treats conditions of near-death due to traumatic injuries; administering it will restore consciousness. Use the white precipitate (reddish in color) from the urinals or chamber pots of men and women, quench it in vinegar seven times, and grind into powder. Do not move the body if the patient has already died. If the mouth is closed, pry it open, take 3 fen of the powder, dissolve it in aged wine, and administer orally. Once the foul blood is vomited out, the patient will survive; if moved excessively, it is untreatable.

Another prescription: For death caused by hematemesis due to trauma, this formula is extremely effective. Crush the roots of Lonicera japonica (Honeysuckle), extract the juice, add urine of a healthy child (Tongbian) and hot wine, mix well and ingest. Apply the dregs to the injured area.

Burn Motherwort Herba (Yimucao) to ash, 2 qian, mix with vinegar and administer 1-2 cups. Cover the patient to induce sweating, then follow up with ginger juice mixed with aged wine.

Another prescription: Dry earthworms (Qiuyin), grind into powder, and deliver with hot wine for immediate effect.

Another prescription: Take the white substance from bamboo nodes (Zhuzhong Baijie), burn together with wood ear mushroom (Muer) to ash, and administer with aged wine for immediate effect.

Treats all wounds from knives, arrows, falls, and bites from pigs or dogs, where the condition is critical and near death. Immediately sprinkle the medicine on the wound; the blood will turn into water-like fluid. Sprinkling again will revive the patient. For severe internal injuries where blood enters the viscera, take 1.5 qian of the medicine, mix with half a cup of hot wine and half a cup of child's urine, and ingest for immediate effect. If intestines are prolapsed but not severed, urgently use mulberry root bark (Sangbaipi) as thread, dipped in Huairuishi Powder, to suture. First wash the wound with thick warm decoction from boiling barley, then apply fresh rooster comb blood mixed with refined sesame oil to lubricate the intestines, and gently push them back into the abdominal cavity. Externally, suture the abdominal skin wound densely using long hair from a living person (the suturing method must be within the skin and flesh of the wound; if stitched through the whole skin thickness without penetrating the muscle, it will be ineffective). Sprinkle medicine on the mouth/wound to stop bleeding and revive immediately. Do not cover the wound with materials to avoid suppuration. If the wound is dry, moisten with saliva first, then apply powder. For postpartum syncope due to blood stasis, retained dead fetus, or retained placenta leading to death, if the anterior chest remains warm, urgently mix 1 qian of the medicine with child's urine, warm and ingest for immediate recovery. Blood above the diaphragm transforms into yellow fluid and is vomited out; blood below the diaphragm exits via urine. This is the supreme medicine for all blood disorders. Huairu Stone (Huairushi) 2 liang (best from Shanzhou, characterized by yellow spots like flower centers), Sulfur (Liuhuang) 4 liang (bright and lustrous is best). Grind both ingredients finely and mix evenly. Place in a clay jar, surround with a "Hundred-Eye Furnace," cover the jar with about 20 jin of charcoal, ignite from below. Start with gentle fire and increase to strong fire, heating gradually from bottom to top, burning from morning until night, remaining undisturbed overnight. Remove the next morning, grind finely, and store in a clean porcelain bottle for future use.

For sprains or bruises without bleeding but presenting with cyanosis or purple discoloration, first crush green onion whites, stir-fry until hot, and rub over the painful area. Then, apply a paste made of raw Rhubarb Radix et Rhizoma (Dahuang) powder and fresh ginger juice. Drink plenty of good hot wine and allow the patient to rest and recover spontaneously; this is also miraculous for chronic cases.

For critical conditions resulting from wind invasion after an open injury, take 1-2 larvae of *Oryctes rhinoceros* (Qicao) from manure piles (also found on thatched roofs), hold them by the back, and squeeze until they excrete yellow fluid...
