用洁净朴硝半斤，罐内炭火熔化，煎干 红，住火冷定，取出即成硝石，罐收听用。利实火、不利虚火也。
用蟾不拘大小，其酥俱有。用阔铜镊镊蟾眉棱高肉上微紧，拔出酥来，凝聚镊里，多则刮下，阴干听用。
其取过之蟾，避风二日，仍送青草园中，自然不伤其生；如取之便见风，下水俱成破伤风，颠狈而死。

用铅一斤，放入小罐内，在炭火上煨烤至熔化，将白砒二两投到熔化的铅上继续炼制，直到烟气散尽为止；取出后冷却定型，打开容器，金顶砒凝结在铅的表面，取下备用。
用洁净的朴硝半斤，放入罐内，在炭火上熔化，煎煮至变红且水分干涸，停止加热并冷却定型，取出后即成为硝石，装入罐中备用。此药适用于实火证，不适用于虚火证。
用蟾蜍，不论大小，其体内的酥（毒液/分泌物）都有药用价值。用宽口的铜镊子夹住蟾蜍眉毛上方隆起且紧绷的皮肤部位，挤出酥来，凝聚在镊子里，如果量多则刮下来，在阴凉处晾干备用。取过酥的蟾蜍，需避风放置两天，然后放回青草园中，这样它自然能存活而不受伤害；如果在取酥后立即见风或接触水，就会患上破伤风，导致抽搐痉挛而死。
大附子一两之外，根据处方需要再准备几枚，用童子尿浸泡，淹没三寸深，每天更换新的童子尿，夏季浸泡三天，冬季浸泡五天，再次更换童子尿，煮至两种香料的气味散尽为度，去掉皮和脐部，用线串起来在阴凉处晾干，或者在烈日下晒硬也可以，收藏备用。

Use one jin (approx. 500g) of lead, place it in a small pot, and melt it over charcoal fire. Throw two liang (approx. 60g) of white arsenic (Bai Pi) onto the molten lead and refine until the smoke is exhausted. Take out, allow to cool and solidify, open the container; the gold-top arsenic (Jinding Pi) will be condensed on the surface of the lead. Remove and set aside for use.
Use half a jin (approx. 250g) of clean mirabilite (Puxiao), melt it in a pot over charcoal fire, boil until it turns red and dries up. Stop the fire, allow to cool and solidify, then take out to form saltpeter (Xiaoshi). Store in a jar for use. It is suitable for excess heat syndromes but not for deficiency heat syndromes.
Use toads, regardless of size, as their secretion (Su) is medicinal. Use wide-tipped copper tweezers to pinch the slightly tense skin above the supraorbital ridge of the toad, extract the secretion, and collect it in the tweezers. If the amount is large, scrape it off and dry it in the shade for use. The toad from which the secretion has been taken should be kept away from wind for two days, then returned to a grassy garden, where it will naturally survive without harm; if exposed to wind or water immediately after extraction, it will develop tetanus (Poshangfeng) and die from convulsions.
Besides one liang (approx. 30g) of large aconite root (Fuzi), prepare several more according to the prescription. Soak them in urine from an uncircumcised boy (Tongbian) to a depth of three cun, changing the urine daily. Soak for three days in summer and five days in winter. Then change the urine again and boil until the aroma of two fragrant substances dissipates. Remove the skin and umbilicus, string with thread, and dry in the shade, or sun-dry until hard. Store for use.
Two liang (approx. 60g) of mercury (Shuiyin), melted with one liang (approx. 30g) of lead, add mercury and set aside. Two liang (approx. 60g) of nitre (Huoxiao), two liang (approx. 60g) of green vitriol (Lvfan), and two liang (approx. 60g) of alum (Mingfan) are ground into powder together, put into a pot to melt, stir-fried until dry, then finely ground together with the mercury. Place into a clay-lined protective pot, cover with an iron lid, secure the sides with soft iron wire tied tightly using iron beams and pockets. Seal the mouth with mud made from purple soil and salt according to the method. It must be baked until extremely dry. Place on a stand with three nails, build a hundred-eye furnace. Add a base fire layer of two cun thick. Ignite one stick of incense for mild fire, another for medium fire, and another for strong fire: Keep a small pot of boiling water nearby, dip a brush in the water to wipe the inside of the iron lid frequently to keep it moist but not dry. After the time equivalent to three sticks of incense has passed, remove the fire and pot. Wait until the next day to take out and open the vessel to retrieve the medicine. If it condenses like powder on the bottom of the lid, scrape it off to obtain Ling Yao (Spirit Medicine). Store for use. For chronic ulcers that fail to heal, grind this medicine finely and sprinkle a small amount on the wound; the ulcer will heal easily. If added to general astringent medicines, its efficacy is remarkably swift and miraculous.
