（端午节当天取蟾蜍眉间的脂膏。方法是：取一只大蟾蜍，用未离带的蛤蜊壳扣在蟾蜍眉间，用力一捻，酥油就会出现在壳内。将其收集在油明纸上，干燥后收贮备用。释放蟾蜍后，酥油会再生，蟾蜍依然存活。）

（人们常用猪胆和虎胆来伪造。测试方法是：挑取少许放入净水中，若在水面上浮游、回旋行走的为真品；伪品虽然也走，但速度慢；若直接沉底的则是其他动物的胆汁，不要放太多，否则也会沉散。）
（凡使用蛇胆时，不要用青色、黄色、苍色的，要用白色如银色的。凡是想要使用，先在屋檐下挖掘一个深一尺二寸的坑，将蛇皮放在其中，过夜到第二天卯时取出，用醋浸泡一时辰，然后在火上炙干使用。得火则药效良好。畏磁石及酒。）
（凡使用蚯蚓时，采收后用糯米水浸泡一夜，次日捞出，用无灰酒浸泡一天一夜，再捞出晒干，然后细切。取蜀椒、糯米以及切好的蚯蚓这三样东西一同熬制，待糯米熟后去掉米和椒，拣净后使用。凡是修治二两蚯蚓，以一分糯米、一分椒为标准。畏葱、盐。）
（凡使用时，不要用千足虫（马陆）。它外形相似，只是头上有白肉且嘴尖。如果误用并闻到腥臭气进入头顶会导致死亡。凡是治疗蜈蚣，先用蜈蚣木屑，或者用柳木屑，在土器中炒至木屑焦黑，然后去掉木屑，用竹刀刮去足甲。再用蜈蚣木（不知是什么木头）处理。现在的人只用火炙去头足，或者去掉尾足，用薄荷叶包裹在火中煨烤使用。畏蛞蝓、蜘蛛、白盐、鸡屎、桑白皮。）
（凡使用时须分辨雌雄。雄性称为“蛤”，皮粗、口大、身小、尾粗；雌性称为“蚧”，口尖、身大、尾粗。男性服用雌性，女性服用雄性。凡是修治服用，其毒性在眼睛，需去除眼睛，并去除指甲上、尾部、腹部的肉毛。用酒浸湿后晾干，用两层纸覆盖，在火上隔着纸缓慢焙炙，待两层纸干焦透后，去掉纸，将蛤蚧盛于瓷器中，放置在东舍角旁悬挂一夜，取出使用，效力可十倍增强。疗效关键在于尾巴。另一种说法是：只含少许，能急奔百步不喘息的才是真品。）
(Fresh ones can be boiled for consumption; dried ones are used by grinding with vinegar and water.)
(Those with seven or nine pairs of ribs are of good quality. Roast thoroughly with vinegar until charred, grind into a fine powder, mix again with vinegar, bake on tiles until dry, and grind again until as fine as flying flour. Avoid using with Alum Stone (Fánshí) and Li Shi.)
(Those that are compact and small in size are of good quality. Wash with wine, roast until dry, and then grind.)
(Take the fat from the eyebrows of toads on the Dragon Boat Festival. The method is: take a large toad, place an unopened clam shell over its eyebrows, and press firmly; the oily secretion will appear inside the shell. Collect it on oil-bright paper, dry it, and store it for use. After releasing the toad, the secretion regenerates, and the toad remains alive.)
(The feces of male mice are of good quality; their feces have pointed ends at both sides.)
(People often counterfeit with pig gallbladder and tiger gallbladder. The test method: pick a grain-sized amount and place it in clean water. If it floats, swims around, and moves on the surface, it is genuine. Counterfeits also move but slower. Those that sink directly are blood from other animal gallbladders; do not add too much, as they will also sink and disperse.)
(When using snake gallbladder, do not use those that are green, yellow, or pale-colored; use those that are white like silver. To prepare, first dig a pit one chi two cun deep under the eaves, place the snake skin in it, leave it overnight until the Mao hour (5-7 AM), then take it out, soak in vinegar for one shi chen (two hours), roast over fire until dry, and use. Heating enhances efficacy. It is incompatible with Magnetite (Císhí) and wine.)
(When using earthworms, after harvesting, soak in rice water overnight. Next day, drain, soak in non-ashy wine for one day and night, drain, and sun-dry. Then cut finely. Take Sichuan pepper (Shǔjiāo), glutinous rice, and the cut earthworms, and simmer together. Once the rice is cooked, remove the rice and pepper, pick clean, and use. For every two liang of earthworms, use one fen of glutinous rice and one fen of pepper as the standard. Incompatible with scallions and salt.)
(When using, do not use centipedes (actually referring to millipedes/Geophilomorpha). They look similar but have white flesh on the head and a pointed mouth. If mistakenly used and the foul smell enters the head, it can cause death. When treating true centipedes (Wúgōng), first use wood dust from Centipede Wood (Wúgōng Mù), or willow dust, stir-fry in a clay vessel until the dust is blackened, then remove the dust. Use a bamboo knife to scrape off the legs and claws. Then process with Centipede Wood (unknown species). Nowadays, people only roast over fire to remove heads and feet, or remove tails, and roast wrapped in mint leaves over fire. Incompatible with slugs, spiders, white salt, chicken manure, and Mulberry Root Bark (Sāngbáipí).)
(When using, must distinguish male and female. Males are called "Ge," with rough skin, large mouths, small bodies, and thick tails. Females are called "Jie," with pointed mouths, large bodies, and thick tails. Men should consume females, women should consume males. When preparing for use, the toxicity lies in the eyes; remove the eyes and the hair/flesh on the nails, tail, and abdomen. Soak in wine, let dry, cover with two layers of paper, and slowly roast over fire through the paper. When the paper is dry and charred, remove the paper, place the Gecko in a porcelain vessel, hang it in the corner of the eastern room overnight, then take out and use. Efficacy increases tenfold. The effect resides in the tail. Another theory states: if a small amount allows one to run a hundred steps rapidly without panting, it is genuine.)
