Take the aforementioned single herb, boil it in water to obtain a concentrated decoction, hold it in the mouth, spit it out repeatedly without swallowing. (The *Zhouhou Beiji Fang* [Emergency Prescriptions Kept Up My Sleeve] records this identically in Volume 5.)
Beji therapy for treating various... prescriptions.
Take *Tinglizi* (Descurainiae Semen Lepidii Seminis) [Lepidium seed], crush and sift through a fine sieve, mix with high-quality white honey to form pills. When preparing to apply the medicine, first wash with warm rice-washing water, insert the pill into the ulcer crater, and pack it in. If the opening is blocked, use an object to keep it open. Apply three times daily. When the pain subsides, it indicates recovery; do not stop the medication. It is highly effective. (From Volume 5.)
Bixiao therapy for treating various... prescriptions.
First wash with clarified warm rice-washing water, wipe dry with cotton. Take *Kuiye* (Malvae Folium) [Hollyhock leaf], warm it slightly over fire, and apply as a patch to draw out pus. It takes no more than three to two hundred leaves. Once the pus is completely discharged, flesh will regenerate. Chancellor Wang frequently used this with miraculous efficacy.
Pathogenesis: When a person's armpits emit an odor resembling scallions and fermented soybeans, or some say resembling foxes, it is called "Fox Odor" (Hu Chou). This is caused by disharmony and accumulation of blood and qi, resulting in foul odor. (From Volume 31.)
*Zhouhou Beiji Fang* treats body and armpit odors resembling foxes, commonly known as "Barbarian Odor" (Hu Chou).

*Qianjin Fang* treats Fox Odor and leaking organs. There is congenital Fox Odor and acquired Fox Odor. Congenital cases are difficult to treat; acquired cases are easier to cure. However, one must continuously apply *Baifan San* (White Alum Powder) for three years without stopping, and take *Wuxiang Wan* (Five-Spice Pill), only then can it be cured. Do not claim that one application cures it; that is merely temporary relief during the application period. Patients with Fox Odor must universally avoid eating *Yuntao* (Rapeseed) and *Wuxin* (Five Pungent Spices); otherwise, treatment will never succeed throughout life. This is a prescription for Fox Odor.
