汤。
气味：苦，寒。
功效：治疗时行瘟疫引起的大热、狂躁奔走。解除各种热毒。治疗反胃（仅适用于结热证）以及痘疮黑陷。外敷痈肿、发背疮漏。新鲜的用于封贴疔肿，一日后根部腐烂脱落。
人中黄
（即多年厕所坑中砖块上凝结的黄色物质）
性味功效与人屎大致相同。能解除胃部的热毒。
另一种制法：在腊月截取一段淡竹，去掉青皮，保留上下两节。在上节钻孔，将大甘草放入其中，用木头塞住上节的孔。将下节的一端插入粪水中浸泡。经过一个月取出，晒干备用。（去除瘟疫热毒宜用此法）
粪清（俗名金汁）
取法：在寒冬月份，将竹箩架在盆上，用棕皮和绵纸铺在箩底，上面铺五寸厚的黄土，浇淋粪汁过滤黄土，滤取澄清的汁液。装入新瓮内，用碗盖住口，埋入土中一年。取出后清澈如泉水，完全没有秽气。存放时间越久越好。这比用竹筒渗透的方法更妙。
性味：苦，寒。
功效：能清除辛热之邪，解除各种毒素。治疗时行瘟疫引起的大热、狂躁奔走，痘疮紫黑干枯。（阴虚燥热者尤其适宜）
外敷各种热毒引起的痈肿疮漏。
金汁属于浊阴之物，下行而不上升。在土中埋藏日久，去除了浊质而保留了清气。人体中诸火逆上的病症，仍使用人体中降火的药物来治疗。

附方
1. 热病狂走，如见鬼神，长久不出汗，以及神志不清不知人事者：用人中黄放入大罐内，用泥密封固定。半天后，去除火毒，研成粉末。用新汲取的冷水送服三钱。若症状未退，再服用一次。
2. 大热狂渴：将陈年人屎研成粉末，在阴凉处的干净黄土中挖五六寸深的小坑，将三两匙药粉放入坑中，用新汲取的冷水调匀。等待良久使其澄清，给患者饮用即可缓解。世俗称之为“地清”。
3. 噎膈反胃，诸药无效：真阿魏一钱，野外干燥的人屎三钱，研成粉末。在五更天时，用姜片蘸着服用。能使死人复活。
4. 虫毒、百毒以及各种热毒，时气热病，口鼻出血：用人屎尖端七枚烧成灰，用水调匀一次性服用。温覆身体取汗即可痊愈，神效。
5. 各种毒物突然发作，热闷欲死者：用新鲜粪汁加水调和服用，或者将干粪烧成末，渍水取汁饮用，名为“破棺汤”。
Odor and Flavor: Bitter, Cold.
Efficacy: Treats severe heat and manic running associated with epidemic febrile diseases (Shixing). Resolves various heat toxins. Treats regurgitation (Fanwei) (specifically for cases of heat accumulation) and black depression of smallpox lesions. Applied externally to abscesses, back carbuncles (Fabei), and chronic sores/fistulas. Fresh application seals carbuncles (Dingzhong); after one day, the root rots and falls off.
Ren Zhong Huang (Human Excrement Yellow)
(Refers to the yellow substance condensed on bricks in latrine pits over many years.)
Its properties and efficacy are approximately the same as human feces. It resolves heat toxins in the Stomach.
Another preparation method: In the twelfth lunar month, cut a section of light bamboo, remove the green skin, and retain the upper and lower nodes. Create an opening in the upper node, place large Licorice Root (Gancao) inside, and seal the upper opening with wood. Insert one end of the lower node into fecal water and soak for one month. Remove, dry, and store for use. (This method is suitable for eliminating epidemic heat toxins.)
Fen Qing (Colostrum of Feces / Commonly known as Jin Zhi)
Preparation Method: In winter months, place a bamboo sieve over a basin. Line the bottom of the sieve with palm fiber and cotton paper. Spread five cun of yellow earth on top. Pour fecal juice onto the earth to filter it, collecting the clear filtrate. Place the filtrate in a new urn, cover the mouth with a bowl, and bury it in the earth for one year. Upon removal, it is clear as spring water, completely devoid of foul odor. The older it is, the better. This is superior to the bamboo tube infiltration method.
Flavor: Bitter, Cold.
Efficacy: Clears acrid-heat pathogens and resolves various toxins. Treats severe heat and manic running from epidemic febrile diseases, and purple-black, dry smallpox lesions. (Esuitable for Yin deficiency with dry-heat.)
Applied externally to all heat-toxin-induced abscesses, swellings, sores, and fistulas.
Jin Zhi belongs to turbid yin, descending without ascending. After long burial in the earth, turbidity is removed and clarity remains. For conditions where internal fire rebels upward, treat with substances that descend fire within the body.

Attached Formulas
1. Febrile disease with manic running, seeing ghosts, prolonged absence of sweating, and unconsciousness: Place Ren Zhong Huang in a large jar, seal tightly with mud. After half a day, remove fire toxicity, grind into powder, and administer three qian with fresh cold water. If symptoms persist, administer again.
2. Severe heat, mania, and thirst: Grind aged human feces into powder. Dig a small pit five to six cun deep in clean yellow earth in a shady place. Place three liang-spoons of powder in the pit, mix evenly with fresh cold water. Wait until it clarifies, then administer to the patient to resolve symptoms. Secularly called "Di Qing."
3. Dysphagia (Yige) and regurgitation (Fanwei), unresponsive to other medicines: One qian of true Asafoetida (Awei) and three qian of dried human feces from the wild, ground into powder. At the fifth watch (early morning), consume dipped in ginger slice. Can revive the dead.
4. Insect venom, hundred toxins, various heat toxins, epidemic febrile diseases, bleeding from mouth and nose: Burn seven tips of human feces to ash, mix with water, and take in one dose. Cover warmly to induce sweating; cure will follow. Highly effective.
5. Sudden onset of various poisons, suffocating heat threatening death: Drink fresh fecal juice mixed with water, or burn dried feces to ash, steep in water, and drink the juice. Named "Po Guan Tang" (Coffin-Breaking Decoction).
