Prophylactically resolves smallpox toxicity.
High-quality Cinnabar (Chensha, 辰砂) [one qian, levigated] Old Luffa Fruit (Laosigua, 老丝瓜) [three cun near the stem, burned to charcoal retaining efficacy. This herb is excellent for promoting smallpox eruption]

Shenxiao Ge Suan Jiu Fa (Method 117)
Treats excessive smallpox carbuncle toxicity, preventing other lesions from erupting, filling with pus, or scabbing over; or causing severe pain or numbness. Moxibustion should continue until pain ceases or sensation returns, dispersing toxicity through fire. Cut a garlic clove three fen thick, place it on the carbuncle, and moxa with small cones on top of the garlic. Change the garlic every five moxa sessions. If purple blood appears and swelling/pain persists, moxibustion is crucial. In Beijing, I observed practitioners piercing carbuncles with thread-needles to drain toxic blood, allowing subsequent lesions to fill with pus. If piercing causes no pain or bleeding, it is difficult to treat; however, using this moxibustion method induces pain, allowing further piercing to drain purple blood and promote pus formation, saving lives.
Huisu Jiu (Formula 118)
Dispels foul odors, accelerating smallpox eruption.
Take one bunch of Coriandrum Sativum (Huisu, 胡荽), decoct in two cups of good wine for one boil. Let the nursing mother hold a mouthful and spray it over the child's body or face. Burn Coriandrum fragrance in the room to dispel foul odors and accelerate eruption. Hanging the decocted Coriandrum on the door is ideal. Roasting dates also helps stimulate appetite and digestion, detoxifying. Note: This wine is suitable only before eruption or at initial onset. After swelling begins, avoid alcohol fumes and dispersing methods.

Excellent formula for treating inverted smallpox.
Shuiyang is Lonicerae Japonicae Caulis (Rendongteng, 忍冬藤). Use branches in spring/winter, leaves and branches in autumn/summer. It grows by water, has fine leaves, red stems, round fruits with white hairs. Cut and decoct in flowing water in a large pot for six to seven boils. Place one-third in a bath basin, test temperature with hand. Drink the decoction first, then bathe, gradually adding hot water until lesions rise and become robust. Repeat as needed. After bathing, observe: if raised areas feel dizzy with visible fluid lines, this indicates pus formation. If pus is insufficient, bathe again. Weak children may only bathe head, face, hands, and feet. Frequent bathing is encouraged; if no improvement occurs, it indicates qi/blood failure and fluid exhaustion, which is often untreatable.
Secret Tea Formula (Formula 121)
For lining beds.
Use plenty of tea leaves, remove coarse stems, boil in water, remove again, discard stems. Lay damp leaves on the bed, layer with straw paper, let the child sleep overnight. Pus and fluids will dry up.
