Baijiezi powder (Sinapis alba seed powder), mixed with wine and applied to the sole of the foot (left for males, right for females). Take a piece the size of a fingertip, apply for one or two shichen (2-4 hours); remove immediately once vomiting stops, as prolonged application may cause blisters.
Hot Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata), pounded into a paste, mixed with saliva, and applied to the sole of the foot for one or two shichen.
If offended by a postpartum woman (a taboo in smallpox treatment), bake yellow earth until dry, place in a small bag, tie it to the middle of the trousers, and place more dry earth under the bed. If offended by others, take plenty of red rose petals and spread them under the mat.
One egg: first divide fine-sifted yellow earth into two portions. Break the egg, placing the egg white on one portion and the egg yolk on the other, ensuring they do not mix. Then reshape the yolk into a sphere, wrap it in a pancake made from the egg white, restoring the shape of an egg. Roast this in the stove fire until the smoke ceases, being careful not to burn it to a crisp. Grind this "earth egg" into a fine powder. For early-stage carbuncles or sores, mix with egg white or vinegar and apply topically to resolve; if suppuration has occurred, it will ulcerate; if already ulcerated, sprinkle the powder dry to promote healing. If the sore is deep and pitted, sprinkling the powder dry is very effective. (This formula is named Hundun Rujin San [Chaos-like-Gold Powder])
Spread willow leaves on the mat and sleep on it overnight; maggots will die completely, leading to recovery.
Frequently rub with sesame oil (pressed at a small mill). Alternatively, dust with aged pine pollen.
One egg, soaked in child's urine for seven days, boiled in water and eaten; this prevents smallpox entirely.
Freshwater caltrop (Eleocharis dulcis) in any quantity: crush to extract juice, mix evenly with wine lees, warm by stewing, and drink (do not overheat).
For restlessness, panting, delirium, and hallucinations during smallpox eruption:
Take blood from the heart of a sow that has not yet farrowed (extract the blood), mix with 3 fen of Bingpian (Borneolum Syntheticum), make pills the size of Euryale seed (Qianshi). Take 1 qian per dose, administered with Huangqi Zicao Decoction (prepared by stewing Radix Lithospermi in yellow wine). After a short while, stasis blood will be discharged, spirit and energy will clear, and the rash will emerge vibrant and reddish. This formula specifically treats Heiyie (black, depressed scabs).
Old loofah sponge (near the stem), 3 cun long, burned with skin intact until carbonized but retaining medicinal properties, ground into powder, taken with sugar water.
Baishao (Radix Paeoniae Alba) ground into powder, taken with yellow wine, 5 fen per dose.
Coma and inability to wake:
Eggshell, freshly cleaned of membrane, baked on new tile until dry, ground into powder. Take 5 fen per dose, mixed with hot boiled water. For infants, mix with yellow wine and smear on lips, tongue, chest, and back.
Tea leaves (stems removed), pure weight of 1-2 jin: pass through boiling water briefly, remove while damp, spread on the bed, place a layer of straw paper on top, and let the child lie upon it. If cold, cover with clothes and blankets; recovery occurs after one night. (Also treats total loss of skin after smallpox)
