水银、明矾、食盐、皂矾（绿矾）、火硝（硝酸钾），各取一两研磨成粉末。使用大号的销银罐，在火炉上，慢慢地、少量地挑取药物放入罐内，不停地搅拌，逐渐凝结变硬，直到药体坚硬，表面泛起黄色，这称为“结胎”。火候已到，这种方法极难掌握老嫩适宜的程度，就在这关键的一刻间，（如果过嫩或过老，在覆盖罐子炼制时都会脱落，无法使用。）迅速将罐子移离火炉。接着用一个比银罐稍小一点的瓦盆，将罐口对准倒扣在盆内，再用浸透盐水的皮纸密封罐口四周，然后用砂灰围绕罐身半截进行保护，随即安放在平地上。就在瓦盆周围，用板砖围起与盆沿齐平，于是将火炭放置在罐底，逐渐向四周添加，先用文火（小火），后用武火（大火），炼制到三炷香的时间，待冷却后，打开罐子刮下盆底的药片，用清水漂洗干净，晒干后研磨成粉末。要在寒冷的天气里煮糯米饭，捣烂熔化后与药粉混合，做成粗细如线香、长度一二寸的药条备用。炼制时必须在安静的房间内进行，忌讳人员进出。
痈疽发展到气血两败的阶段，不能托毒外出泄出，化腐生肌，则毒邪内陷。患处肌肉腐烂像棉絮一样松软，低凹并流出污水，不与四周的肌肉相粘连。或者颜色紫黑像木炭一样，完全没有鲜活的气色。或者腐烂的肉松软难以脱落，或者腐肉脱净后，不生长鲜红色的新肉，像石榴籽的果肉一样。或者腐烂得像深洞，只流血水，臭味像尸体一样。或者脓液像豆腐脑，倒入水中油花泛泛漂浮，或者颜色紫红像猪肝色。这些都是正气内部败坏，只有补益和托毒这一种方法，以尽人力救治。
结喉骨（喉结部位）发生疽病，极难溃破排脓，或者肿胀坚硬不通气，不能进食汤水的属于危重证候；或者溃破后不能收敛伤口形成漏管的。
皮肤虚损且血热，风湿之邪内蕴，向上攻冲头部。风邪盛则瘙痒，湿热重则结痂流脓、皮屑多，有传染而成的情况，必须忌食发物，时常用药汤清洗。每天早晨用麻油涂抹患处，每天晚上用生姜片擦拭，（麻油滋润皮肤，生姜开通毛孔。）务必坚持一两个月不要间断，没有不痊愈的。
Mercury (Hydrargyrum), Alum (Alumen), Table Salt (Natrii Chloridum), Green Vitriol (Sideritis Sulphas), and Saltpeter (Nitrums), each one tael, ground into powder. Use a large silver smelting pot, place it on a stove, and slowly pick up small amounts of the medicine into the pot with tweezers, stirring continuously without stopping. Gradually it solidifies until the medicine becomes hard and the surface turns yellow; this is called "forming the embryo" (Jie Tai). The fire control has reached its limit. This method is extremely difficult to judge whether the degree of heating is appropriate or not, within this critical moment. (If it is too undercooked or overcooked, when covering the pot for refining, the contents will fall off and become useless.) Quickly remove the pot from the stove. Next, take a clay basin slightly smaller than the silver pot, align the mouth of the pot upside down inside the basin, and seal the four sides of the pot's mouth with leather paper soaked in salt water. Then, protect half of the pot's circumference with sand and ash, and place it on level ground. Surround the basin with flat bricks aligned with the rim of the basin. Place charcoal at the bottom of the pot, gradually adding it around the sides. Start with a gentle fire (Wen Huo), then switch to a strong fire (Wu Huo). Refine for the time it takes to burn three incense sticks. After cooling, open the pot and scrape off the medicinal flakes from the bottom of the basin. Rinse them clean with clear water, dry them in the sun, and grind them into powder. In cold weather, cook glutinous rice, mash it until melted, and mix it with the medicine to form strips as thick as incense sticks and one to two cun long for use. Refining must be done in a quiet room, prohibiting people from entering or leaving.
When carbuncles and sores progress to a state of exhaustion of both Qi and Blood, they cannot push out toxins to excrete them, transform putrefaction, and generate muscle tissue, leading to the internal sinking of toxins. The affected area has flesh rotting like soft cotton, depressed and discharging turbid fluid, not adhering to the surrounding flesh. Or the color is purple-black like charcoal, completely lacking vibrant vitality. Or the rotten flesh is soft and difficult to detach, or after the decay detaches completely, fresh red granulation tissue does not grow, resembling pomegranate arils. Or the lesion resembles a deep cavity, only bleeding serous fluid, with an odor like a corpse. Or the pus resembles tofu brain, with oily scum floating when poured into water, or the color is purple like pig liver. All these indicate the internal failure of Righteous Qi (Zheng Qi). Only the method of tonifying and pushing out toxins can exert human effort to save the patient.
A sore developing on the thyroid cartilage (Jie Hou Gu) is extremely difficult to suppurate and drain. If swelling is hard and obstructs Qi flow, preventing the intake of liquid food, it is a critical condition. Or if after ulceration, the wound fails to heal and forms a fistula.
Skin deficiency with Heat in the Blood, combined with internal accumulation of Wind-Dampness, attacking upward to the head. When Wind is predominant, itching occurs; when Damp-Heat is heavy, there are many crusts, pus, and scales. Cases may be contagious. One must avoid "Fa Wu" (stimulating foods that trigger disease) and wash frequently with herbal decoctions. Every morning, apply Sesame Oil (Sesami Oleum) to the affected area; every evening, rub it with slices of Ginger (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens). (Sesame Oil moisturizes the skin, Ginger opens the pores.) Persist without interruption for one to two months, and recovery is assured.
