【李时珍曰】凡是螃蟹，经过煮熟后盐藏、酒糟腌制、酒浸或酱汁浸泡的，都是上品。但是存放久了容易变成沙粒，见到灯光也会变沙。
【寇宗奭曰】凡是使用牡蛎，必须用泥土封固后烧成粉末。也有生用的情况。
【张元素曰】凡是使用牡蛎，先用二十个，加入东流水和一两盐，煮一个时辰（两小时），再放入火中烧至通红，研磨成粉使用。
【李时珍曰】据温隐居所说：“牡蛎用童子小便浸泡四……”（原文此处似有缺漏，依上下文推测为浸泡一段时间）
【李珣曰】凡是使用珍珠，要用新近完好、未经钻孔缀连的，研磨成粉，才适合服用。如果不细磨，会损伤人的脏腑。
【某医家曰】凡是使用……（原文此处缺失主语及具体药材名，根据后文“乃淘净人长生”等语意推测可能涉及某种矿物或贝壳类药材的处理，但原文残缺严重，仅能翻译可见部分）……然后淘洗干净……使人长寿。用酪浆浸泡它，都会化成像水银一样的液体，与浮石、蜂巢、蛇黄等物配合，可以延长三四尺，制成丸药服用。
【李时珍曰】凡是入药用的珍珠，不使用首饰上的以及沾染了尸体气息的。用人乳浸泡三天，按照上述方法煮过后再捣碎研磨。另一种方法：用绢袋装好，放入豆腐腹中，煮一炷香的时间，据说这样不会伤珠。
【某医家曰】凡是使用海蛤（Haige, 海蛤壳），不要用游波虫的骨头。真的海蛤看起来相似，只是表面没有光泽。误食后会让人发狂想跳进水里。
【用东流水淘洗三次，研磨成粉使用。】
【保升曰】取得海蛤后，用半天河（指天上降下的雨水或流动极快的活水）煮五十刻（约12.5小时），用枸杞汁拌匀，放入竹筒内蒸一个时辰，然后捣碎使用。
[Li Shizhen said] All crabs that are boiled and then preserved with salt, pickled in wine lees, soaked in wine, or marinated in soy sauce are considered excellent products. However, if kept for a long time, they tend to turn into sand; exposure to lamp light also causes them to become sandy.
[Kou Zongshi said] When using Ostreae Concha (Oyster Shell, 牡蛎), it must be sealed with mud and calcined into powder. There are also cases where it is used raw.
[Zhang Yuansu said] When using Ostreae Concha (Oyster Shell, 牡蛎), take twenty shells first, add flowing water from the east and one tael of salt, boil for one double-hour (two hours), then place them in fire until red-hot, grind into powder, and use.
[Li Shizhen said] According to Wen Ju Yin: "Soak Ostreae Concha (Oyster Shell, 牡蛎) in urine of a young boy for four..." (The original text here seems incomplete; based on context, it implies soaking for a period).
[Li Xun said] When using Pearl (Zhenzhu, 珍珠), only those that are newly complete, unperforated, and unstrung should be ground into powder for consumption. If not finely ground, it will damage the internal organs.
[A certain physician said] When using... [The subject and specific herb name are missing in the original text due to corruption. Based on the subsequent text "then wash clean... promote longevity," it likely refers to the processing of a mineral or shellfish drug, but only visible parts can be translated]: ...then wash clean... promotes longevity. Soaking it in whey/curd liquid causes it to melt like mercury. Combined with Pumex (Fushi, 浮石), Apis Nidus (Fengchao, 蜂巢), and Aurum Fulguratum (Shehuang, 蛇黄), it can extend three to four chi, made into pills for ingestion.
[Li Shizhen said] For medicinal pearls, do not use those from jewelry or those exposed to the odor of corpses. Soak them in human milk for three days, boil according to the above method, then crush and grind. Another method: Place them in a silk bag, put inside the cavity of a tofu block, and boil for the duration of one incense stick; it is said that this prevents damage to the pearl.
[A certain physician said] When using Haige (Sea Clam Shell, 海蛤), do not use the bones of the Youbo worm. They look similar, but the true ones lack luster on the surface. Ingesting them by mistake causes madness and a desire to jump into water.
[Wash three times with flowing water from the east, grind into powder, and use.]
[Baosheng said] After obtaining Haige (Sea Clam Shell, 海蛤), boil it in Ban Tian He (Half Sky River/Rainwater) for fifty ke (approx. 12.5 hours), mix evenly with Ligustrum Lucidum Fruit Juice (Gouqi Juice, 枸杞汁), place in a bamboo tube, steam for one double-hour, then crush and use.
