\r麝香\pj445.bmp\r
味辛，气温。无毒。陕西各山谷俱生，文州诸蛮中尤盛。形类獐略小，香结脐近阴。
凡脐闭满之时，自将蹄尖剔出。所落之处，草木焦黄。一名遗香，性甚辛烈。人若捡得，价
同明珠。蛇蜕包藏，香弥不泄。日常啖蛇为食，是则又相使焉。市家但得脐囊，每研荔枝搀
卖。当门子粒，亦系造成。欲的实求真，必亲目见剖。勿近火日，磁钵细擂。辟蛇虺，诛蛔
虫，蛊疰痫 总却；杀鬼精，驱疫瘴，胀急痞满咸消。催生堕胎，通磁利窍。除恍惚惊怖，
镇心安神；疗痈肿疮疽，蚀脓逐血。吐风痰不梦寤魇寐，点目疾去翳膜泪眵。肉似獐
肉微腥
，食之不畏蛇毒。惟忌葫蒜，亦宜知之。

麝香
味道辛，性质温。无毒。陕西各地的山谷中都有生长，文州各少数民族地区尤其茂盛。外形像獐子但略小，香气结聚在脐部靠近阴处。
凡是脐孔闭合饱满的时候，它自己会用蹄尖剔出。掉落的地方，草木都会焦黄。又名遗香，药性非常辛烈。人如果捡到，价值同明珠一样昂贵。用蛇蜕包裹收藏，香气就不会泄漏。平时以吃蛇为食，这又是相互制约的关系。市场上得到的只是脐囊，常常研磨荔枝壳掺假售卖。真正的“当门子”颗粒，也是人工制造的。想要确切求真，必须亲眼目睹剖开过程。不要靠近火和日光，用磁钵细细研磨。能驱避蛇虺，杀灭蛔虫，蛊疰痫等病都能消除；能杀鬼精，驱除疫瘴，胀急痞满等症状全部消散。能促进分娩、堕胎，通利磁石及诸窍。能除去恍惚惊怖，镇心安神；治疗痈肿疮疽，腐蚀脓液、驱逐瘀血。吐出风痰，避免噩梦魇寐；点眼疾去除翳膜泪眵。肉质像獐肉略带腥味，食用它不畏惧蛇毒。只忌讳葫蒜，这也是应当知道的。
獭肝
味道甘，有毒。一说性平，味咸，微热，无毒。又有人说：只有肝脏性温，其余部分性寒。又名水狗，多产于江湖之中。常居住在深水中吃鱼，也登上大树休息。所以附在兽类条目下，捕捉不难。性情特别喜好猫，先画板引诱；等它来聚集玩耍，用网捕捉。肝脏与其他牲畜大不相同，每月生出一叶。十二个月数足，逐渐脱落再生。凡想要得到真品，必须亲眼目睹剖开。或者烤熟立即食用，或者烧成末用酒调服。治疗疰病傅尸，一家互相传染的都能见效；治疗产劳发热，四季虚汗的功效显著。上气咳嗽可以消除，鬼毒瘟疠能够驱遣。崔氏方曾经治疗蛊疫，仲景的方剂经常治疗冷劳。能去除鱼鲠卡在喉中，消除腹内水胀。肉主治时行瘟疫及牛马病，煮汁灌服很好；骨止呕哕恶心并鱼骨鲠，烧灰调服。肾煨熟食用对男子有益，髓制成膏敷用能消除瘢痕。胆汁点入眼睛，即刻止痛剔除翳膜，说是分杯中之酒，确实是讹传，但涂抹杯唇，可以使酒势高一分；皮毛装饰衣领袖口，（北方人多用，装饰皮衣领袖。）善于辟邪抵御风寒，说擦拭眼睫上的阴霾，并不奇怪，只要穿在身上，不沾染半点灰尘。足爪颈下抓挠，也能去除鱼骨鲠很有效。手足皲裂，煎服更好。
Shexiang (Moschus)
Flavor: Acrid. Nature: Warm. Non-toxic. It grows in all valleys of Shaanxi, and is particularly abundant among the various barbarian tribes in Wenzhou. Its shape resembles that of a muntjac but is slightly smaller; the fragrance accumulates near the umbilicus close to the yin region.
When the umbilical sac is fully closed and taut, it naturally uses its hoof tip to extract it. Wherever it falls, grass and trees turn scorched and yellow. Also known as Yixiang (Relic Fragrance), its nature is extremely acrid and potent. If found by humans, its price equals that of bright pearls. Stored in snake shed skin, the fragrance does not dissipate. Since it daily feeds on snakes, this represents a mutual antagonistic relationship. Market vendors often only obtain the umbilical sac and grind lychee seeds to adulterate the sale. The genuine "Dangmenzi" granules are also artificially manufactured. To seek truth and authenticity, one must personally witness the dissection. Avoid proximity to fire and sunlight; grind finely in a porcelain mortar. It repels venomous snakes, eliminates roundworms, and resolves all conditions such as Gu (poisonous parasite disease), Zhu (wandering pestilence), and epilepsy. It destroys evil spirits, drives away epidemic miasma, and alleviates distension, urgency, and fullness. It induces labor, aborts fetuses, and unblocks orifices including those for magnetite. It removes恍惚 (trance-like confusion) and fright, calms the heart and spirit; treats carbuncles, sores, and ulcers, erodes pus, and expels blood stasis. It expectorates wind-phlegm, preventing nightmares and sleep paralysis; applied to the eyes, it removes nebulae, membranes, and eye discharge. The flesh resembles muntjac meat with a slight fishy odor; consuming it confers immunity against snake venom. It is contraindicated with Allium tuberosum (Chinese chives) and garlic, which should be noted.
Tagan (Liver of Spotted Hyena / Otter Liver - *Note: Context implies Otter/Lutra based on description*)
Flavor: Sweet. Toxic. Some say: Neutral, Salty, Slightly Warm, Non-toxic. Another view states: Only the liver is warm in nature, while other parts are cold. Also known as Shuigou (Water Dog), it is mostly produced in rivers and lakes. It usually dwells in deep water eating fish, and also climbs large trees to rest. Therefore, it is listed among beasts, and capture is not difficult. Its nature favors cats; initially, boards are drawn to lure them; once they gather to play, nets are used to capture them. The liver differs greatly from other livestock, growing one lobe each month. After twelve months, it completes its cycle, gradually falling off and regenerating. To obtain the genuine article, one must witness the dissection. It can be roasted and eaten immediately, or burned to powder and mixed with wine. It is effective for treating Zhu Bing (chronic wasting diseases) and Fushi (corpse transmission disease), where an entire family may be infected. It shows remarkable merit for postpartum consumption fever and deficiency sweating occurring in all three seasons. It eliminates upward rebellious qi and cough, and dispels ghost toxins and epidemic plagues. Cui’s formula has treated Gu epidemics, and Zhang Zhongjing’s preparations frequently treat cold consumption. It removes fish bones stuck in the throat and reduces abdominal water distension. The meat treats seasonal epidemics and cattle/horse diseases; boiling the juice for administration is beneficial. The bone stops hiccups, nausea, and retching, as well as fish bone impaction; burning it to ash and taking it with liquid is effective. The kidney, baked and eaten, benefits men. The marrow, made into ointment and applied, eliminates scars. Bile applied to the eyes instantly relieves pain and removes nebulae. The saying about dividing wine in a cup is indeed a false legend, but applying it to the rim of a cup can make the wine level appear higher by one mark. Fur used to decorate sleeves and collars (commonly used in the north to trim fur garments) effectively wards off evil and resists wind-cold. Claiming it wipes away haze from eyelashes is not strange; when worn on the body, it repels dust completely. Scratching under the chin with feet and claws also effectively removes fish bone impactions. For cracked hands and feet, decocting and drinking it is superior.
