【李时珍曰】麋角，在角根顶部有黄色的毛，像金线一样，并且旁边还生长着小尖刺。颜色苍白的是上品。
【苏颂曰】凡是使用麋角，（原文此处残缺，推测为描述选取标准或炮制前的处理），小一些的与鹿角、盛牛（注：此处原文可能有误或指代不明，暂按字面保留）……再加以……
【附注】麋茸的修治方法与鹿茸相同。
【李时珍曰】凡是使用麝香，以“当门子”（麝香中颗粒状、品质最佳的部分）尤为奇妙。在子日打开它，轻微研磨后使用，不必研磨得过于细碎。
腊月采集并干燥的麝香，用泥土密封固定，烧至存性（即外部焦黑内部仍保留药性），收藏备用。
【李时珍曰】用酒浸泡一天，用纸包裹后炙烤至香，锉碎捣烂。或者在银器中，用酒煎熟后入药。【李时珍曰】用汉椒和樟脑一同收藏，就不会变质。
将麝香细锉，炒黑后入药。
【日华子曰】凡是鸟，右翼覆盖左翼的是雄鸟。它的粪便头部尖挺。【李时珍曰】凡是使用（雀儿），不要使用麻雀的粪便。麻雀口部呈黄色……去除……雄性部分使用，这出自雷氏（雷敩）的方法。
【李时珍曰】凡是使用（某种药材，原文缺失主语，根据上下文可能是某种动物药），要求重量达到一斤的。先擦去肉上的毛，以及去掉爪子和肠子，保留肉、翅膀以及嘴和脚。用好酒浸泡一个晚上，取出后用黄精的自然汁液五两，涂抹并炙烤直到汁液耗尽，炙干后使用。【李时珍曰】近代使用的，大多只是烧至存性罢了。
【李时珍曰】凡是采获得到（沙子/矿物），用水淘洗掉灰土和异味，取细沙晒干焙燥后使用。这种沙就是蚊蚋的眼睛（注：此处可能指某种特定形态的沙石或矿物，原文比喻）。
【苏颂曰】此物多夹杂沙石，极难修治。凡是使用，研磨成细末，用酒飞旋（水飞法的一种变体或特定操作）以去除沙石，晒干后收藏使用。
【陶弘景曰】虽然不限制雌雄，但雄性的应当更胜一筹。使用时需要轻微炙烤。不使用被虫蛀的。古方中有治疗头面部疾病的鸱头酒。
【李时珍曰】九月霜降之后采摘带熟的，去掉果核曝晒干燥，或者蒸熟后去皮去核，捣碎做成饼状，日晒干燥后使用。
【李时珍曰】白柿就是表面结霜的干柿子。其制作方法是选用大柿子，去皮后捏扁，白天日晒夜晚露置直至干燥，放入瓮中，等待表面生出白霜后再取出。现在的人称之为柿饼，也叫做柿花。那层霜叫做柿霜。
[Li Shizhen said] Cervus elaphus antler (Milu jiao) has yellow hairs on the top of the root, resembling golden threads, and small sharp points growing on the sides. Those with a pale white color are of the highest quality.
[Su Song said] Whenever using Cervus elaphus antler (Milu jiao), [text missing here, likely describing selection criteria or pre-processing], smaller ones compared to Cervus nippon antler (Lujiao, Deer Antler) and Shengniu... then further...
[Appendix] The processing method for Cervus elaphus velvet antler (Mijun) is the same as that for Cervus nippon velvet antler (Lurong).
[Li Shizhen said] Whenever using Moschus (Shexiang, Musk), the "Dangmenzi" (the granular, highest quality part of musk) is particularly excellent. Open it on the Zi day, grind it slightly for use; there is no need to grind it too finely.
Collected in the twelfth lunar month and dried, seal it firmly with mud, burn until it retains its nature (Cunxing, preserving medicinal properties while charring the exterior), and store for use.
[Li Shizhen said] Soak it in wine for one day, wrap it in paper, roast until fragrant, then chop and crush. Alternatively, cook it thoroughly in wine in a silver vessel before adding to medicine. [Li Shizhen said] Storing it together with Zanthoxylum bungeanum (Han Jiao, Sichuan Pepper) and Camphora (Zhangnao, Camphor) prevents spoilage.
Chop finely, stir-fry until black, and add to medicine.
[Ri Hua said] For birds, those whose right wing covers the left are male. Their feces have a pointed and straight head. [Li Shizhen said] Whenever using [Sparrow, text missing subject], do not use Sparrow feces (Que'er fen). Sparrows have yellow mouths... remove... use the male portion; this originates from Lei's (Lei Xiao) methods.
[Li Shizhen said] Whenever using [Medicine name missing, likely referring to a specific animal product based on context like Chicken or similar], require one weighing one jin (approx. 500g). First wipe off the hair on the meat, remove claws and intestines, but keep the meat, wings, beak, and feet. Soak in good wine overnight, take out, and coat with five liang of fresh juice extracted naturally from Polygonatum sibiricum (Huangjing, Solomon's Seal Rhizome), roasting until the juice is completely absorbed, then dry-roast for use. [Li Shizhen said] In recent times, what is used is mostly just roasted until it retains its nature (Cunxing).
[Li Shizhen said] Whenever harvested, wash away soil and bad odors with water, take fine sand, dry and bake for use. This sand refers to the eyes of mosquitoes and midges (Note: likely a metaphorical or specific mineral description in original context).
[Su Song said] This substance often contains mixed sand and stones, making it extremely difficult to process. Whenever used, grind into a fine powder, use wine to fly (Fei, a purification technique) away the sand and stones, dry and store for use.
[Tao Hongjing said] Although both males and females are acceptable, males are superior. It must be lightly roasted before use. Do not use those infested with worms. Ancient prescriptions include Chitou Wine (Owl Head Wine) for treating head and face conditions.
[Li Shizhen said] Harvest when ripe after the frost in the ninth lunar month, remove the pits, and sun-dry. Or steam until cooked, remove skin and pits, crush into cakes, and sun-dry for use.
[Li Shizhen said] Baishi (White Persimmon) refers to dried persimmons covered in white frost. The method involves peeling large persimmons, flattening them, sun-drying by day and dew-exposing by night until dry, placing them in earthenware jars, waiting for white frost to form on the surface, and then taking them out. People today call them Persimmon Cakes (Shibing) or Persimmon Flowers (Shihua). The frost is called Persimmon Frost (Shishuang).
