味道辛,性寒,有毒。主治邪气,破除症结坚积和瘀血,治疗痈肿、阴部疮疡,服用后不会患热病。治疗阴蚀疽疠恶疮、犬咬伤疮口,能够融合玉石。又名蜍蟾,又名[缺字],又名去甫,又名苦[缺字]。生长于江湖池泽之中。五月五日采集,阴干,向东行走的(指在岸边爬行方向朝东的)品质较好。
这是腹部大、皮上有很多疙瘩的那种,它的皮汁毒性很大。狗咬了它,嘴巴都会肿胀。人得了温病出现斑疹且困顿的,生吃一两枚,没有不痊愈的。五月五日采集向东行走的五枚,反向捆绑放在密室中封闭起来,第二天早晨看如果它们自己解开了,取来作为药用,治疗疮疡立刻见效。它的脂肪涂抹在玉上就能刻划得像蜡一样,所以说它能融合玉石,但脂肪不可多得。选取肥大的,切碎,煎制成膏,用来涂玉,也柔软滑润容易切割。古代奇特的玉器,不是人工雕琢而成的,大多是用昆吾刀和蛤蟆脂肪刻成的。

牡鼠,即公鼠。它的屎两头尖,专门治疗劳复。鼠眼,主治明目,夜间能看清书本上的字,术士家使用它。腊月里的老鼠,烧成灰可辟除恶气;熬成膏,也能治疗各种疮疡。胆,主治目暗,但刚死的时候胆就消失了,所以得不到。
Mainly treats Gu Qi (Gu pathogenic factor), used in formulas for Zhu Gu (chronic infectious disease caused by Gu). This is the skin of the fish used to decorate sword hilts.
Produced in the South Sea, resembling a turtle, with no legs but having a tail. (New Appendix)
Brightens the eyes, eliminates heat toxicity.
Resembling a shellfish, round, two or three inches in diameter, produced in the East Sea and South Sea, with purple spots on top and white bones. (New Appendix)
Pungent in flavor, cold in nature, toxic. Mainly treats evil Qi (pathogenic factors), breaks up accumulations and hard masses, resolves blood stasis, treats carbuncles and sores, yin ulcers; taking it prevents one from contracting febrile diseases. Treats erosive ulcers, leprosy, malignant sores, and dog bite wounds; can fuse jade and stone.

This refers to the species with a large belly and many warts on its skin; its skin juice is highly toxic. If bitten by a dog, its mouth swells. For humans suffering from warm diseases with rashes appearing and feeling exhausted, eating one or two raw pieces will invariably cure them. Collect five eastward-moving specimens on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, bind them reversely, place them in a sealed dark room, and check the next morning; if they have freed themselves, use them for treatment, which yields immediate results for sores. Its fat can carve jade like wax, hence it is said to fuse jade and stone, though the fat is scarce. Select fat ones, chop them, boil down into ointment, and apply to jade; it also becomes soft and slippery, easy to cut. Ancient unique jade artifacts, not carved by human hands, were mostly engraved using Kunwu knives and toad fat.

Mu Shu (Male Mouse) is the father mouse. Its feces are pointed at both ends, specifically treating Lao Fu. The mouse eye mainly brightens the eyes, allowing night vision for reading; used by Daoist practitioners. Mice caught in the twelfth lunar month, when burned, dispel evil Qi; when rendered into grease, they also treat various sores. The gallbladder mainly treats dim vision, but since the gallbladder disappears immediately after death, it cannot be obtained.
