Those with white mouth, eyes, and hooves are rare, appearing occasionally among common people. Minor uses do not require this. Horse liver and meat under the saddle are said to kill people; eating fine horse meat without drinking wine also kills. White horses with green hooves must not be eaten. *Li Ji* (Book of Rites) states: Horses with black spines and spotted arms must not be eaten. Horse bones injure people and are toxic.

Take dark horse urine, soak hotly to heal, wash repeatedly. Ri Huazi states: Urine washes head sores and white tinea capitis.
*Tujing* text is detailed under the Sheep Horn section.
Leigong states: Select healthy horses with tender silver-white bodies; spring collection is best. Before use, split with a copper knife into seven pieces, mix with raw sheep blood, steam for half a day, dry in sun, wipe off surface skin and dry sheep blood with coarse cloth, then finely chop for use.
