（即冰片，形状像白松脂，有杉木的气味。质地明净的为好，久经风吹日晒后若像雀屎一样的则不好。现在的人常用樟脑冒充，将其打碎混杂其中，不可不辨别清楚。据说用糯米炭或相思子储存它，就不会损耗。其膏状物主治耳聋。）
（炒去壳，气味闻起来像信石的是真品。）
（凡使用本品，不要用枳实，因为两者的药性功效不同。如果使用枳壳，取其辛苦腥气，并含有油脂，能消除一切……（原文此处似有脱漏）。要选用陈久年深的为上品。使用时先去掉瓤，用麦麸炒过，待麸皮变成黑焦色时取出，用布擦去上面的焦黑部分，然后单独捣成粉末。产自江右地区的品质较好。）
（颜色黑、陈久的为佳。去掉瓤，用麦麸炒至黄色。）
（凡使用，要选择紫色、有油性、质地浓厚的为佳。去掉粗皮，用酥油炙过。每修治一斤药材，用酥油四两，炙好后细切。如果用汤剂送服，使药力自然发挥；或者用姜汁八两炙一升为度。干姜作为它的“使”药（引经药或辅助药）。畏忌泽泻、硝石、寒水石。忌食豆类。）
（凡使用，不要用雀儿酥。真正的本品类似山茱萸，只是核呈八棱形，不入药用。圆形、红润、肉质厚实的为佳。用酒拌和，在砂锅中蒸，去核。一斤药材取肉，皮只称四两。凡是蒸制药物，都用柳木甑，去水八九寸，水不泛上来，其余都参照此法。蓼实作为它的“使”药。畏忌桔梗、防风、防己。）
（形状像黄矾但质地坚实，有的夹杂腐烂木头。木泪是树脂流出的，形状像膏；油石泪是脂液渗入土石间的，形状成块。因为它们吸收了卤斥之气，所以入药效果更佳。能伏制砒石。）
（用铜刀削去一层粗皮，薄切，放入东流水中浸泡一夜，到第二天捞出，细切，蒸一天，取出晒干。另一种说法是用猪苓，取其行湿的功效，生用更好。）
（连珠状的为佳，洗净后切。）
（生用的，用沸水烫过，食用时不伤脾。）
（或者烧熏，或者研末服用。）
（这是笋子在即将长成时立死的，颜色黑如漆，五六月间采收。）
（用酒浸服也可以，或者入煎剂。）
（或者生用，或者炒熟，都研成末入药。）
(It is Borneol, resembling white pine resin in shape, with the odor of fir wood. Those that are clear and pure are good; those that resemble bird droppings after long exposure to wind and sun are inferior. Nowadays, people often pass off camphor as this by crushing and mixing it in, so one must not fail to distinguish them. It is said that storing it with carbonized glutinous rice (or japonica rice) or seeds of Abrus precatorius prevents its volatilization. Its ointment treats deafness.)
(Coat until shells are removed; if the odor resembles realgar, it is genuine.)
(When processing, do not use Fructus Aurantii Immaturus because their properties and effects differ. If using Fructus Aurantii, select those with bitter and pungent odors containing oil, which can resolve all... [text missing]. Choose aged and old ones for best quality. First remove the pith, then stir-fry with bran until the bran turns black and scorched. Remove from heat, wipe off the blackened surface with a cloth, then crush individually into powder. Those produced in Jiangyou region are superior.)
(Dark-colored and aged ones are preferred. Remove pith and stir-fry with bran until yellow.)
(Select those that are purple, oily, and dense in texture. Remove coarse skin and roast with animal fat (su). For every jin of material processed, use 4 liang of animal fat. After roasting, cut finely. If taken with decoction, the effect will be natural; alternatively, process with 8 liang of fresh ginger juice per sheng. Dried Ginger serves as its "shi" (guide/assistant herb). It is incompatible with Alisma Rhizoma, Natrii Sulfas, and Arsenolite. Avoid beans.)
(Do not use su from sparrows. The genuine product resembles Fructus Corni but has an eight-angled pit, which is not used medicinally. Round, reddish, plump flesh is best. Mix with wine and steam in a clay pot, remove pits. From one jin of material, take the flesh, weighing only four liang. When steaming medicinal materials, always use a willow-wood steamer basket, keeping water 8-9 cun below the bottom so it does not touch the herbs; apply this rule generally. Polygonum multiflorum seed serves as its "shi". It is incompatible with Platycodon Root, Saposhnikovia Root, and Stephania Root.)
(Resembles Yellow Alum but is solid; some contain rotten wood. "Mu Lei" (Wood Tear) is exuded resin, appearing like paste; "You Shi Lei" (Oil Stone Tear) is lipid penetrating soil and stone, appearing in lumps. Because they absorb halide/mineral salts qi, they are superior for medicinal use. They can fix/subdue Realgar.)
(Scrape off one layer of coarse skin with a copper knife, slice thinly, soak in flowing water from the east for one night. Drain, slice finely, steam for one day, then dry. Another method uses Polyporus Umbellatus to promote dampness resolution; raw use is better.)
(Those forming a string of pearls are best; wash and slice.)
(Raw use: blanch in boiling water before consumption to avoid damaging the spleen.)
(Burn for fumigation or consume as powder.)
(This refers to bamboo shoots that die immediately upon attempting to grow; color is black like lacquer. Harvest in May and June.)
(Soak in wine for consumption, or add to decoctions.)
(Use raw or roasted, both ground into powder for medicinal use.)
