If there is constipation and Qi rushing upward causing a sensation of impending death, take several Wumei, soak them in water, remove the pits, form pills the size of Jujube fruits, and insert them into the anus; passage will occur shortly after. If flesh protrudes after the healing of a carbuncle, burn it to ash while retaining its properties, grind into powder, and apply externally to flatten it. If Phlegm-Jue syndrome causes stiff collapse and locked jaw, rub the plum meat on the gums; once saliva flows, the jaw will open. If teeth are affected by excessive consumption of sour plums, chewing Hetao Ren (Juglandis Semen) resolves it. For mold spots on clothes, wash with a decoction of Meiye (Plumi Fructus Folium) to remove them. Rubbing Meiye with clean water to wash Jiaoge Yi (banana fiber cloth) prevents it from becoming brittle over summer.

To treat malaria with alternating chills and fever, take one hundred Taoren, remove skins and tips, place in a mortar, and grind into paste without allowing contact with raw water. Add Sandii Oxidum Rubrum (Huangdan) three qian, form pills the size of Sophora seeds. Take three pills each time, facing north on the day of onset, with warm wine.
