一夜，待腥秽气出尽后，用童便于磁锅内煮一伏时，埋于地下可深一尺亦一伏时，取出听用。
阳人使阴，阴人使阳。
按∶天灵盖即顶盖骨也，《神农本经》不载，后世医家始用之，此本同类之物。见则当
怜而悲之，乃取而食之，殊非仁人之用心，世称孙思邈有大功于世，以杀命治命，尚有阴贵，

味咸，性平无毒，所入经络，诸书不载。主传尸鬼疰邪气石蛔。取之煎汤用，用毕

按∶死人枕即脑后骨也，夫鬼邪乘人，非药石可攻，用死人枕者，所谓引之以类也。石
蛔者，久蛔也，医疗既癖，蛔虫转坚，药剂不能疗，所以需鬼物驱之。用毕即送还原处者，
一则使邪疰之气有所依归，一则勿以疗人而伤鬼也。古有神医徐嗣伯刘大用者，用之辄验。
味甘，性微寒无毒，入肺肾二经。主大补虚劳，最消毒热，利小便，除水肿，消胀满，
利脏腑，退疮肿，定惊痫。绿头者亦堪用，白目者能杀人，忌龟鳖肉。

味咸，性平，无毒，所入的经络，各种书籍没有记载。主治传尸鬼疰（一种具有传染性的慢性消耗性疾病），并治疗严重的外伤。取得后，用糖灰在火中覆盖一夜，待腥秽气味散发尽后，用童子尿在磁锅内煮一个时辰（约两小时），埋于地下深一尺处，再埋一个时辰，取出听候使用。阳盛之人使用阴药，阴盛之人使用阳药。
按语：天灵盖即头顶骨，《神农本草经》未收录，后世医家才开始使用它，这原本属于同类相治之物。见到它应当怜悯悲伤，却取来食用，实在不是仁德之人的用心。世人称孙思邈对世间有大功劳，以杀生来治病命，尚且有阴德报应，何况……
味咸，性平，无毒，所入经络，各种书籍没有记载。主治传尸鬼疰邪气及石蛔（久治不愈、坚硬难化的蛔虫）。取之煎汤服用，用完之后送还原处。
按语：死人枕即脑后骨。鬼邪侵袭人体，非药物可以攻伐，使用死人枕，是所谓“引之以类”（利用同类事物引导）的方法。石蛔，就是长久的蛔虫，经过医疗形成癖积后，蛔虫变得坚硬，药剂无法治愈，所以需要借助鬼物来驱除。用完即送还原处，一是让邪疰之气有所依附归宿，二是不要为了治疗人而伤害鬼。古代有神医徐嗣伯、刘大用等人，使用此法往往有效。
味甘，性微寒，无毒，入肺、肾二经。主治大补虚劳，最擅长消除毒热，通利小便，消除水肿，消减胀满，通利脏腑，消退疮肿，安定惊痫。绿头鸭也可以用来药用，白眼的鸭子能杀人，忌食龟鳖肉。
按语：肺的颜色属白，肾的颜色属黑，黑嘴白鸭适宜进入这两条经络。肺肾得到滋补，确实是治疗劳损证的仙方，如果用童子尿煮服，功效不可尽述。
味甘，性微温，有小毒，入五脏诸经。主治身体虚弱消瘦、折伤痈疽，以及心腹部的恶气，也能安胎，但过食会生火动风。
按语：丹溪说：鸡属土，兼有金与木火。那么它所禀受的气只有少水罢了，如今得到其毛骨的黑色，这是五行具备，所以对于五脏没有不能治疗的。在八卦中属巽卦，巽为木，所以能生火；又为风，所以能动风。日华子认为能除风湿麻痹，从道理上讲并不吻合。
Salty in flavor, neutral in nature, non-toxic. The meridians it enters are not recorded in various books. It mainly treats *chuanshen guizhu* (a contagious chronic wasting disease) and heals severe trauma. After obtaining it, cover it with sugar ash over fire for one night. Wait until the fishy and foul odor is completely discharged, then boil it in a porcelain pot with child’s urine for one *fushi* (approx. two hours). Bury it underground to a depth of one chi (approx. 33 cm) for another *fushi*, then take it out for use. Persons with Yang excess should use Yin substances; persons with Yin excess should use Yang substances.
Note: Tianlinggai refers to the cranial cap bone. It is not recorded in the *Shennong Bencao Jing*; later physicians began to use it. This originally belongs to the category of treating like with like. Upon seeing it, one should feel pity and sorrow, yet taking it for consumption is truly not the mindset of a benevolent person. The world praises Sun Simiao for his great merit to society; using killing to treat life still carries karmic retribution, let alone...
Salty in flavor, neutral in nature, non-toxic. The meridians it enters are not recorded in various books. It mainly treats pathogenic qi from *chuanshen guizhu* and *shi hui* (long-standing, hardened roundworms). Take it, decoct in water for oral administration, and after finishing, return it to its original place.
Note: Sirenzhen refers to the occipital bone. When ghostly pathogens invade the human body, they cannot be attacked by herbs or minerals. Using Sirenzhen follows the principle of "guiding by similarity" (using similar entities to guide). Shi Hui refers to long-standing roundworms. After medical treatment forms an accumulation, the roundworms become hard and cannot be cured by medicinal agents, so ghostly objects are needed to drive them away. Returning it to its original place immediately after use serves two purposes: first, to provide a dwelling for the pathogenic qi of *guizhu*; second, not to harm ghosts while treating humans. In ancient times, divine physicians such as Xu Sibai and Liu Dayong used this method with frequent success.
Sweet in flavor, slightly cold in nature, non-toxic. Enters the Lung and Kidney meridians. It mainly greatly tonifies deficiency and fatigue, excels at clearing toxic heat, promotes urination, eliminates edema, reduces distension and fullness, benefits the viscera, resolves carbuncles and swellings, and stabilizes fright and epilepsy. Green-headed ducks can also be used medicinally; white-eyed ducks can cause death. Avoid consuming turtle and鳖 (soft-shelled turtle) meat.
Note: The color of the Lung corresponds to White, and the color of the Kidney corresponds to Black. The black-beaked white duck is suitable for entering these two meridians. If the Lung and Kidney receive tonification, it is indeed a celestial prescription for treating consumptive diseases. If boiled and taken with child’s urine, its efficacy cannot be fully described.
Sweet in flavor, slightly warm in nature, slightly toxic. Enters the five Zang organs and various meridians. It mainly treats emaciation due to deficiency, fractures and injuries, carbuncles and sores, as well as malignant Qi in the heart and abdomen. It can also calm the fetus, but excessive consumption generates Fire and stirs Wind.
Note: Danxi said: Chickens belong to Earth and possess Metal, Wood, and Fire. Thus, what they inherit is only a small amount of Water. Now, obtaining their black feathers and bones indicates that the Five Elements are complete, therefore there is no Zang organ they cannot treat. In the Eight Trigrams, it corresponds to Xun (Wind/Wood); Xun represents Wood, so it can generate Fire; it is also associated with Wind, so it can stir Wind. Rihua Zi believed it could dispel wind-dampness and numbness, which does not accord with reason.
