厕草纸
这是用稻草制造的，南货店用来包裹物品，有浓（厚）和薄两种，厚的称为铜板草纸，可以入药使用。
发疹
《百草镜》记载：取半张折角草纸（即南货店包裹物品的厚草纸），煎汤服用，其透发疹毒的效果比柽柳更好。
小儿脐疮
《不药良方》记载：急忙用大草纸烧成灰敷在患处，就不会转变为疯痫病；或者加入枯矾，或者再加入龙骨烧成的灰等量混合，撒入少许麝香。
肠风下血
《不药良方》记载：将粗草纸烧成灰，与砂糖拌匀，用开水冲服。
贝母团
《经验广集》记载：治疗羊儿疯（腮腺炎或癫痫类疾病），百发百中。取川贝母去心一两（研成粉末，用筛子筛过），铺在一百张大草纸上，每铺一层草纸就筛一次粉，一百张草纸筛一百次，然后用线缝起来，放入四碗水中煮至水干；每天清晨取一张纸揉成团，在火旁煨热，用滚水泡汁饮用，服完痊愈，效果神妙无比。
此乃坑厕中拭过粪便的草纸丢弃在地上的。《同寿录》说：伤寒病中有一种症状名叫咯蒂伤寒，非用这种草纸不能治愈。
寻找这种草纸四十九张，烧成灰研末，用水两碗，煎剩一碗，去掉药渣饮用，有效。
此乃是盖封酒坛口的纸，陈旧的为佳。因为它吸收了过多的酒气，变得霉烂而不坚韧，又脱去了纸张原本的灰性。
治疗皮肤间突然出血。《同寿录》记载：用这种纸撕碎如杨花状，摊敷在出血处，血即停止。
此即是烧酒坛头泥土中的草，《慈航活人书》中有这一种入药，所以在此补充。
治疗剪刀风（一种因金属利器所致的外伤感染或破伤风类似症）。《活人书》说：其症状是腰部生出红色瘰疬，像被东西缠绕紧束而疼痛，用针挑出血，取这种草加盐擦拭出汗，即刻见效。
《本草纲目》土部中，有乌古瓦条目，未提及治疗疖毒。
治疗小儿生毒疮
《救生苦海》记载：已经成形的毒疮，用多年的古瓦研成末，用细茶叶煎煮极浓的汁液调和后外敷，保留疮头即可消散。
Toilet Paper (Cao Zhi)
This is made from rice straw and used by southern goods shops to wrap items. It comes in two thicknesses: thick and thin. The thick variety is called "Tongban Caozhi" (Copper-plate Toilet Paper) and can be used for medicinal purposes.
Eruption of Rash
*Baicao Jing* (Mirror of Hundred Herbs): Take half a sheet of folded toilet paper (specifically the thick kind used by southern goods shops for wrapping), decoct it, and drink the liquid. Its ability to vent and expel rash toxins is superior to that of *Chengliu* (Tamarisk Twig).
Infant Umbilical Ulcer
*Buyao Liangfang* (Excellent Prescriptions Without Medication): Immediately burn large toilet paper into ash and apply it to the affected area to prevent transformation into epilepsy or madness. Alternatively, add equal parts of calcined alum (*Kufan*) and dragon bone ash (*Longgu*), and sprinkle with a small amount of musk (*Shexiang*).
Intestinal Wind with Hematochezia
*Buyao Liangfang*: Burn coarse toilet paper into ash, mix well with rock sugar, and take with boiling water.
Fubei Tuan (Pearl Powder Ball)
*Jingyan Guangji* (Extensive Collection of Experienced Prescriptions): Treats "Yang'er Feng" (mumps or epilepsy-like conditions) with 100% efficacy. Use one tael of Chuan Fubei (Fritillariae Bulbus) from which the heart has been removed (ground into powder and sifted). Spread this powder over one hundred sheets of large toilet paper, sifting once per layer, totaling one hundred siftings. Sew the sheets together with thread, and boil them in four bowls of water until the water is dry. Each early morning, take one sheet, roll it into a ball, warm it near fire, soak it in boiling water, and drink the juice. Complete recovery occurs after finishing the dose; the effect is miraculous.
This refers to toilet paper discarded on the ground after being used to wipe feces in pit latrines. *Tongshou Lu* states: Among the syndromes of Shanghan (Cold Damage), there is one named "Gedi Shanghan," which cannot be cured without using this type of paper.
Find forty-nine sheets of this paper, burn them into ash and grind into powder. Decoct with two bowls of water until one bowl remains, remove the dregs, and drink. Effective.
This refers to the paper used to seal the mouths of wine jars; aged paper is preferred. Because it absorbs much wine vapor, it becomes moldy and less tough, and its original "ashiness" (dryness/astringency) is removed.
Treat sudden bleeding from the skin. *Tongshou Lu*: Tear this paper into pieces like willow catkins, spread it over the bleeding site, and the bleeding will stop immediately.
This refers to grass found in the mud at the base of liquor jars. *Cihang Huoren Shu* includes this substance for medicinal use, so it is added here.
Treat Jian Dao Feng (Shear Wind, often referring to tetanus or infection from sharp metal injuries). *Huoren Shu* states: The symptom involves red nodules appearing on the waist, feeling as if tightly bound and painful. Prick with a needle to bleed, then take this grass mixed with salt, rub it on the area to induce sweating, and relief follows immediately.
In the Earth section of *Bencao Gangmu*, there is an entry for Wu Guwa (Black Ancient Tile), but it does not mention treating furuncles.
Treat Infant Furuncles
*Jisheng Kuhai* (Sea of Bitter Sea for Saving Lives): For formed furuncles, grind ancient tiles from many years ago into powder. Decoct fine tea leaves to make a very concentrated juice, mix with the tile powder, and apply externally. Leave the head of the furuncle open/uncovered, and it will dissipate.
Gong Jie (Arching Furuncle)
Heat a tile piece over fire, quench it seven times in vinegar, grind into powder, and mix with rapeseed oil for external application.
Xiao Ke (Wasting-Thirst / Diabetes)
Take two tiles from an old roof, wash clean, crush them, and decoct in water to make a concentrated juice. Warm and drink a small cup after meals (*Tongshou Lu*).
