将含有恶浊汁液的部分去除,取用上层清澈的水,再次浸泡一整夜,又按照之前的方法进行淘洗沉淀。通过澄清法去除底部的恶浊物,取上清汁继续浸泡三个夜晚,澄清后取清水以及被浸泡过的骨角,用微火慢慢煎煮。大致比例是一石角屑配三石水,去掉角渣澄清后取清汁,煎煮至水分蒸发剩下约五升,取出储存在铜器中,在热水锅上隔水煎煮三天三夜,直到变成像糖稀一样的稠度,倒出放在盘子上等待凝固,用竹刀切成薄片,放在干净的布上晒干即可。那些用于煮角的材料要切得更细碎一些,加入一倍的水,煮成三到四升的量,放入铜器中,按照前面的方法隔水重汤煎煮。
服用方法:
炙烤胶使其变成极黄的沸腾状态,捣碎筛成散剂。每使用一斤胶末,配合炮制过的附子二两。另一种方法是选取个头最大的乌头,去皮后细细切碎,炙烤至黄色,这种方法比炮制更好。早晨空腹时用酒送服一方寸匕的药量,每天两次,逐渐增加至两方寸匕,但不可超过两方寸匕。此方能补益五脏六腑,治疗身体极度虚弱消瘦,以陈旧的药材为上品。

Discard the turbid fluid, retain the clear water from the top, and soak overnight again. Wash and settle as before. Use the clarification method to remove the turbid sediment at the bottom, take the liquid, and soak for three nights. After clarification, take the clear water along with the soaked bone and horn. Simmer over a gentle fire. Generally, for one *dan* (approx. 120 liters) of horn shavings, use three *dan* of water. Remove the horn residue, clarify, and take the clear liquid. Decoct until the water is reduced to approximately five *sheng* (approx. 1 liter). Pour out and store in a copper vessel. Simmer over boiling water for three days and three nights until it resembles sugar consistency. Take out, place on a plate to cool and solidify, cut into thin slices with a bamboo knife, and dry in the sun on clean cloth. For the horns used for decoction, chop them finer, add double the amount of water, boil down to three or four *sheng*, put into a copper vessel, and simmer over boiling water as described above.
Administration:
Roast the gelatin until it turns very yellow and boils. Pound and sieve into powder. For every *jin* (approx. 500g) of gelatin powder, use two *liang* (approx. 60g) of prepared *Fuzi* (Prepared Lateral Root of Aconitum carmichaelii). Another method: select only the largest ones, peel, cut finely, roast until yellow, which is superior to processing by frying. In the morning on an empty stomach, administer with wine. One dose is one *cunbi* (approx. 3-5g). Twice daily. Gradually increase to two *cunbi*. Do not exceed two *cunbi*. It tonifies the Five Zang and Six Fu organs, treating extreme deficiency, emaciation, and weakness. Old-aged material is preferred.
Method for detoxifying Wutou and the "Three Jian" (Tianxiong, Fuzi, Cezi):
*Wutou* (Raw Lateral Root of Aconitum carmichaelii) is harvested in the second lunar month. *Tianxiong* (Main Root of Aconitum carmichaelii), *Fuzi* (Prepared Lateral Root of Aconitum carmichaelii), and *Cezi* (Side Root of Aconitum carmichaelii) are all harvested in the eighth lunar month. Spring harvest should be early; autumn harvest should be late. After harvesting, clean thoroughly and remove rootlets and hairs. The stems...
