锡。曰紫金者，非比其邑，盖自喜而自重之意云。
此膏偶缺，用鸡子清小半盏，川连末一分，搅浑化，俟澄，笔尖蘸点，或人乳、白蜜蒸黄连、薄荷，又羊胆
和蜜蒸稠点，世谓之“简易自然膏”，均妙。
硼砂（经过去除粗壳、飞制处理）、炉甘石（飞制），用三黄水（黄连、黄芩、黄柏煎煮液）去渣尘后煮干，灵砂（由朱砂和汞炼制而成的化合物）细研，以上各取一两；乳香、没药各二钱；冰片三钱；麝香一钱五分。
凡是所有用于眼部的丹药，必须小心地碾碎并过筛，标准是用手捏时没有响声，用牙齿咬时感觉不到沙粒感。装在好的罐子里珍藏起来以备使用。凡是药材价格昂贵且在大国罕见，以及一种石头或一种木头就能获得奇效的，都称为“宝”。像上述的硼砂能辟除汗气，灵砂能镇降火邪，炉甘石能去除翳膜，海螵蛸能收敛湿气，乳香和没药能行血止痛，冰片和麝香能拔毒散风，如果不是久治不愈的深重病证，很难消除病邪。那些死守师传、对病症治疗缺乏通达理解的人，即使拥有玉杯但没有底（比喻有宝物却不会用），即便得到金、璧、珠、珀、珊瑚、玛瑙、空青、水晶这八种价格昂贵罕见的物品，也如同尘土一般。所以这个丹药没有什么特别奇特之处，只是特意命名为“八宝丹”。
冬蜜（冬季采集的真蜂糖），如白蜡质地的一合；黄连五钱，煎煮浓缩后过滤干净；羊胆两个，以山羊胆尤佳，混合煎煮至略微浓稠，加入黄丹六钱、蕤仁霜三钱，不停地搅拌成膏状，如果太硬就加蜂蜜，如果不够稠就多煎一会儿，退去火气后稍微冷却，加入冰片一钱，用铅罐收藏。蕤仁霜另外用小碗拌入蜂蜜，和人乳粉二钱，研磨得极其纯净融合，先放入罐中，然后再倒入药膏搅拌均匀更好。
上方的方剂中，蕤仁霜滋润干燥、养护神气，羊胆和黄连清热退热，然而这四味药入眼后随即融化，即使觉得一时爽快，也不能去除病根。所以必须依靠铅丹的重坠之性附着于患处，以及冰片的辛烈之气，才能散发秽恶之气并去除凝滞留存的病邪。如果不识病症、不懂医术的人随意使用，这简直是让人百点无效的“神丹”。我游历行医二十多年，评价各种药物优劣不一，唯独这个人无不赞赏赠送给我一方寸大小的药膏，其价值不止百朋之锡（形容价值极高）。命名为“紫金”，并非指其颜色或材质，而是表达自我喜爱和自我珍重的意思。
如果此膏偶尔短缺，可以用鸡子清（鸡蛋清）小半盏，川连末（黄连粉末）一分，搅匀使其溶解，等待澄清后，用笔尖蘸取点眼；或者用人乳、白蜜蒸黄连、薄荷，又或用羊胆和蜜蒸至浓稠后点眼，世人称之为“简易自然膏”，效果都很奇妙。
Borax (Borax, a mineral drug), after removing coarse shells and levigation; Calcined Calamine (Calcined Calamine, a zinc ore drug), levigated; Sanhuang Shui (Decoction of Rhizoma Coptidis, Radix Scutellariae, and Cortex Phellodendri) filtered to remove dregs and dust, then boiled dry; Lingsha (Lingsha, a compound prepared from cinnabar and mercury), finely ground. Each of the above takes 1 liang. Frankincense (Resina Olibani) and Myrrh (Resina Myrrhae) each take 2 qian; Borneol (Borneolum Syntheticum) takes 3 qian; Moschus (Moschus) takes 1.5 qian.
For all medicinal preparations intended for the eyes, one must be careful in grinding and sieving. The standard is that it makes no sound when pinched by hand and feels free of sand when bitten by teeth. Store them in good jars for future use. Any medicine that is expensive, rare in large countries, or yields miraculous effects from a single stone or piece of wood is considered a "treasure." For instance, Borax dispels sweat odor, Lingsha calms fire pathogens, Calcined Calamine removes nebulae, Cuttlebone (Hai Piao Xiao, cuttlefish bone) absorbs dampness, Frankincense and Myrrh promote blood circulation and relieve pain, while Borneol and Moschus extract toxins and disperse wind. However, unless dealing with long-standing deep diseases, it is difficult to eliminate the pathogen. Those who rigidly adhere to their master's transmission without understanding syndrome differentiation and treatment are like having a jade cup without a bottom. Even if they possess eight precious items—gold, bi-jade, pearls, amber, coral, agate, Kongqing (Azurite), and rock crystal—which are expensive and rare, these are equivalent to dust. Therefore, this pill has nothing particularly unique, but is specifically named "Eight Treasures Pill" (Ba Bao Dan).
Winter honey (true bee sugar collected in winter), resembling white wax, 1 he; Coptis Rhizome (Rhizoma Coptidis), 5 qian, decocted until concentrated and filtered clean; Sheep gallbladder (Gallus Bladder), two pieces, preferably from a goat, combined and decocted until slightly thick. Add Lead Tetroxide (Minium, red lead powder), 6 qian, and Prunus Persica Seed Frost (Rui Ren Shuang, processed seed of sweet apricot), 3 qian. Stir constantly until it forms an ointment. If too hard, add honey; if not thick enough, decoct longer. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, add Borneol (Borneolum Syntheticum), 1 qian. Store in a lead jar. Process Rui Ren Shuang separately in a small bowl with honey, mix with Human Milk Powder (Ren Ru Fen), 2 qian, and grind until extremely pure and blended. Add this mixture to the jar first, then pour in the ointment and stir evenly for better results.
In the above formula, Rui Ren Shuang moistens dryness and nourishes the spirit, while Sheep gallbladder and Coptis Rhizome clear heat and reduce fever. However, these four ingredients melt immediately upon entering the eye. Although they may provide temporary relief, they cannot cure the disease. Therefore, one must rely on the heavy, adherent nature of Minium to attach to the lesion and the pungent, intense quality of Borneol to scatter filth and remove stagnation. For those who do not understand syndromes or medicine, applying this blindly is indeed a "miraculous pill" that renders the hundred points useless. Having practiced medicine for over twenty years, I have evaluated various drugs as superior or inferior. Yet, this person always praised and gifted me a square-inch portion of this ointment, valuing it more than a hundred pairs of silk. It is named "Purple Gold Ointment" (Zi Jin Gao), not referring to its color or material, but expressing self-pleasure and self-respect.
If this ointment is occasionally unavailable, use half a small cup of Egg White (Ovi Albumen), mixed with 1 fen of Coptis Rhizome powder (Chuan Lian Mo), stirred until dissolved. Wait for it to clarify, then dip the tip of a brush to apply. Alternatively, steam Coptis Rhizome and Mint (Herba Menthae) with human milk and white honey, or steam sheep gallbladder with honey until thick, and apply drops. The world calls this "Simple Natural Ointment" (Jian Yi Zi Ran Gao), which is also effective.
