地黄∶以怀庆产者为上,闻彼处顶上者每斤需银一两有奇,近来两湖、两广每斤不过三
五百文,至多亦不过七八百文,焉能无假。总以透心黑者为佳,中心微黄者次之。有以红白
萝卜用地黄汁浸透假充,尤宜细辨。
白术∶以于潜产者为上,然贵而难得。此外,总以术内白者方可用,不白即系苍术,用
之有损。
茯苓∶取整个切片照之,微有筋膜为真。近来多以米粉和苓末咀片假充。又有以米粉包
裹松根种成整个者,亦宜细辨。
茯神∶真者木心,或在旁或在中,亦不一心,切开有筋膜者是也。假者木心在中,且止
一心而无筋膜。
人参∶参最易蛀,见风尤易蛀,惟纳新器中封紧,经年不坏。若炒米包藏,须摊过一夜
方用,否则参亦易坏。然炒米亦能生虫。或用新绵包之。又参最忌日晒,惟火烘不妨。煎参
须用流水,用止水功缓。参本多假,难于辨认,无力尤不易得,以故集中少用。
高丽参∶多以东洋参及别药假充。其法用大红绉绸包裹蒸之,使绉纹颜色透入,再用桂
元肉汁拌入烘干,色味与真高丽参无异。欲试真假,以气虚及昏晕时服之,有无功效为准。
党参∶色黄、味甜、枝软、菊花心为佳。有以一种甜党染色假充者,功缓无力。

砌及平地随处皆有。
旱莲草∶又名鲤肠草、墨斗草、墨头草、墨东草。其茎微红,折断处色即变黑。

此病名为血瘫症,若不迅速治疗,则会导致溃烂流脓,应立即用赤皮葱烧成的灰淋洗患处,内服淡豆豉汤数杯即可自愈。
此症若肌肉被抽尽,则难以治愈。可用三棱、莪术各一钱,研为细末,用酒调服,效果极佳。
小孩粪便(以干燥结块者为佳,稀便不用),在阴凉处晾干,放在瓦片上烧枯,烧至烟尽为止。每次服用三钱,用豆腐浆调服。
又一方:川楝子烧成灰研为细末,每次服用一钱,用黄酒送服,但不如前一方巧妙。外用吴茱萸末,用热醋调敷于两脚心,每隔一周更换一次,直到痊愈为止,此法最为奇妙。

用药线(见痈毒诸方)捆住尾根,渐渐捆紧,半个月后自然脱落,脱落后再请名医诊脉,多服补阴的药物……(原文此处中断)
地黄:以怀庆府产者为上品,听说那里的上等货每斤需银一两以上,近来湖南湖北、广东广西每斤不过三五百文,最多也不过七八百文,怎能没有假货。总之以通体黑透者为佳,中心微黄的次之。有用红白萝卜用地黄汁浸透假充的,尤其需要仔细辨别。
白术:以于潜县产者为上品,但价格昂贵且难得。此外,总以药材内部白色者方可使用,不白就是苍术,使用会有损害。
茯苓:取整个切片对着光看,微有筋膜者为真品。近来多以米粉混合苓末切制假充。又有以米粉包裹松根种植长成整体的,也需仔细辨别。
茯神:真品的木心,或在旁边或在中部,也不止一个心,切开有筋膜的就是。假品的木心在中间,且只有一个心而没有筋膜。
人参:人参最容易生虫,见风尤其容易生虫,只有放入新容器中密封好,经年不坏。如果用炒米包裹储藏,必须摊放一夜才使用,否则人参也容易变质。然而炒米也能生虫。或者用新棉包裹。另外人参最忌日晒,用火烘干不妨碍。煎煮人参需用流动的水,用静止的水功效缓慢。人参本身假货多,难以辨认,普通人更不容易得到,因此在方剂中较少使用。
高丽参:多用东洋参及其他药物假充。其方法是使用大红绉绸包裹蒸制,使皱纹颜色渗透进去,再用桂圆肉汁拌入烘干,颜色和味道与真正的高丽参无异。想要测试真假,以气虚及昏晕时服用,看是否有疗效为准。
党参:颜色黄、味道甜、枝条软、有菊花心为佳。有一种用甜味党参染色假充的,功效缓慢无力。
鹅不食草:又名石胡荽、野园荽、鸡肠草、地胡椒、地桐毫,叶子小花黄,种子像胡椒,台阶缝隙和平地随处都有。
旱莲草:又名鲤肠草、墨斗草、墨头草、墨东草。其茎微红,折断处颜色立即变黑。
红芽大戟:肉质颜色微红者为真品。颜色白色的名叫绵大戟,用于疮毒无效。
谷树:又名楮树、构树,叶子有两片如云板样,也有没有的。用刀扎树身有浆流出的是。
每日数次,三天后去掉心,再淘洗再浸泡四五日,取一撮放入白瓷盆内,隔了一夜,看盆中水色不变才妥当。再淘洗三四次,沥干,用面粉包裹如团状,放入糠火内煨,煨至面团四面皆黄,内部药物熟透,取出晒干,入锅炒透,磨粉。其苦寒之毒经过炮制则干净,不苦而甜,不寒而温,专门消除坚结、痰块、核毒。
木鳖:用水浸泡半个月,入锅煮几滚,再浸泡在热汤中数日,刮去皮和心。每天辰时放入香油锅中煮至油沫尽,再煮一百滚,通体黑脆,用铁丝筛捞出,即拌入炒红的土砖细粉内,拌至土粉有油气,入粗筛筛去油土,再换炒红的土料拌一时辰,再筛去土。连续炮制十天,时刻不可错乱,将木鳖同细土,在锅内再炒,入盆拌罨一夜,取鳖去土磨粉。用此物能搜剔筋骨入骱的风湿,祛除皮里膜外凝结的毒痰,所煎出的油,可入熬膏使用。此物最毒,倘若泡制不透,服用必发战而死,不可不慎。
乳香:如乳头般明透者良。近来多以枫香假充,性质粘难研,每两用药材二钱五分同炒,炒至圆脆可粉为度,扇去灯芯,取香磨细用。
冰片:多以樟脑假充,以牙色如梅花片者良。用杉木炭养护,则不损耗。
血竭:味道甜咸、颜色赤红,以染透指甲者为真。若味道极咸且有腥气的是海母血假充。
阿魏:味道极臭,取少许沾在铜器上,过夜,沾处颜色白如银者为真。
硼砂:颜色黄如胶者为真。
沙苑蒺藜:以潼关产者良。皮货店所带形状扁如腰子、颜色绿者为真。
赤小豆:又名饭豆,扁而红者是。若半红半黑名叫鬼眼豆,无益有损,断不可用。
乌梅:生青梅蒸熟,用稻草灰拌入,晒干即是。店中多有以小李(可能是指某种李子或误植,原文如此)假充,必须自制,使用才有效。
蓖麻子油:蓖麻子五升,捣烂,用水一斗,煮出白沫即取起,待沫尽乃止,去水,将沫熬至点灯不炸为度。
灯心炭:取活竹一段,两头留节,中间开一眼,以灯心塞满,外面将原刻竹仍填原眼,加泥裹好,入糠火内煨至竹成一炭,取内灯心炭用。
阿胶:味道不臭者佳。颜色绿者为上品。有异味的必是假货,不如用好牛胶替代。
鹿茸:茸有几种,好的颇不易得。茸片尤多假货。有一人与茸客是至交,因体虚向客人索要得血片一斤服用,体虚如故,毫不见效。奇怪而问之,茸客醉后吐实,是用牛尾,猪血和药制成,其片放手心也能滚动,与真茸无异。
鹿胶:凡胶以自熬为真。鹿胶必用真关东鹿角熬制服用才有效。若川角、鱼角色白而长者,都无力。
龟胶:此胶也宜自熬,板以浓而黑者为佳,黄而薄者无力。
癞虾蟆:又名癞团,又名老蟾。眼睛红、腹部没有八字纹的不可用。
搔蛱子:本名蛸蛱虫,又名偷油婆,江苏人呼为KT,有翅能飞,其色紫如油,灶边及……(原文此处中断)
蜗牛:头有须,尾有螺壳者是。
虻虫:大如蜜蜂,腹部四侧微黄绿色,喜食牛马血。
This condition is named "Blood Paralysis Syndrome" (Xuetan Zheng). If not treated promptly, it will lead to ulceration and pus discharge. Immediately use the ash from burning red-skin scallions for washing/lavaging, and internally take several cups of Dan Dou Chi Tang (Fermented Soybean Decoction) for self-recovery.
If this syndrome causes muscles to be completely atrophied, it is difficult to treat. Use San Leng (Rhizoma Sparganii) and E Zhu (Rhizoma Curcumae), each 1 qian (approx. 3-5g), ground into powder, taken with wine; it is extremely effective.
Child's feces (dry and solid are best, liquid should not be used), dried in shade, burned on a tile until charred, stopping when smoke ceases. Take 3 qian per dose, mixed with tofu juice.
Another prescription: Chuan Lian Zi (Fructus Toosendanii) burned to ash and ground into powder, take 1 qian per dose, washed down with yellow wine. However, this is not as excellent as the previous formula. Externally, apply Wu Yu Mo (Evodiae Fructus powder) mixed with hot vinegar to the soles of both feet, change once every week until healed; this method is most wonderful.
Drink several bowls of salt-vinegar soup daily; it will heal itself in ten days.
This condition is named "Soul Separation Syndrome" (Lihun Zheng). Use Dang Shen (Codonopsis Radix) 5 qian (those with strong constitution may use Ren Shen [Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma] 1 qian, or Gao Li Shen [Korean Ginseng] 3 qian), Chen Sha (Cinnabaris), Fu Ling (Poria), each 3 qian... (Text cuts off here)
This condition is named "Rat Diaphragm Disease" (Shuge Bing), caused by eating food that has been nibbled by overnight rats. Use Shi Da Gong Lao Ye (Leaf of Mahonia fortunei, also known as Shu Pa Cao [Rat-Fearing Grass]), leaves resembling a palm fan with five angles... (Text cuts off here)
This condition is named "Loss of Object Expectation Syndrome" (Shishuo Wuwang Bing). The patient acts as if desiring meat, others say they will give them a meal of pork, the patient becomes happy upon hearing this, meat is placed before the patient, but just as they are about to eat, it is withheld. This is due to the loss of their expectation for an object; no medicine is needed. When the patient sleeps and salivates from the mouth, they will heal themselves.
This is caused by evil spirits (Xie Sui). Burn dog feces (must be dry and white-colored) to produce smoke and fumigate; the more evil qi that comes out, the better, and it will heal itself once all is expelled.
Use medicinal thread (see formulas for carbuncles and toxins) to bind the root of the tail, tightening gradually; it will fall off naturally after half a month. After falling off, invite a famous doctor to diagnose the pulse and take more yin-nourishing medicines... (Text cuts off here)
Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix): Produced in Huaqing Prefecture is superior. It is said that the top grade there costs over one tael of silver per jin (approx. 500-600g). Recently, Hunan/Hubei and Guangdong/Guangxi prices are only 300-500 wen per jin, at most 700-800 wen; how can there be no fakes? Generally, those transparently black throughout are best; those slightly yellow in the center are secondary. Some use red/white radishes soaked in Di Huang juice to fake it; this requires careful discrimination.
Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma): Produced in Yuqian County is superior, but expensive and hard to get. Otherwise, only those white inside are usable; if not white, it is Cang Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), which causes harm if used.
Fu Ling (Poria): Take whole slices and hold against light; slight fibrous membranes indicate authenticity. Recently, rice flour mixed with Poria powder sliced is often used to fake it. There are also cases of rice flour wrapped around pine roots grown into whole shapes; these must be carefully distinguished.
Fu Shen (Poria with Hostwood): Authentic ones have hostwood centers, either on the side or in the middle, not always single; cutting open reveals fibrous membranes. Fake ones have a central hostwood, usually single, without membranes.
Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma): Most prone to insect damage, especially when exposed to wind. Store in new containers tightly sealed; it lasts years without spoiling. If stored with fried rice, spread it out overnight before use, otherwise it spoils easily. Fried rice can also breed insects. Alternatively, wrap in new cotton. Ren Shen hates sun exposure; fire drying is acceptable. Decocting Ren Shen requires running water; still water slows efficacy. Ren Shen is often fake and hard to identify, making it difficult for ordinary people to obtain, thus rarely used in collected prescriptions.
Gao Li Shen (Korean Ginseng): Often faked with Dong Yang Shen (Japanese Ginseng) or other drugs. The method involves wrapping in large red crinkled silk, steaming to penetrate color into wrinkles, then mixing with Long Yan Rou (Longan Aril) juice and drying. Color and taste are identical to authentic Korean Ginseng. To test authenticity, administer during Qi deficiency or fainting states and observe for efficacy.
Dang Shen (Codonopsis Radix): Yellow color, sweet taste, soft branches, and chrysanthemum-heart pattern are best. Some are dyed sweet Dang Shen to fake it; efficacy is slow and weak.
E Bu Shi Cao (Centipedae Herba): Also known as Shi Hu Sui, Ye Yuan Sui, Ji Chang Cao, Di Hu Jiao, Di Tong Hao. Leaves small, flowers yellow, seeds like pepper. Found everywhere in steps and flatlands.
Han Lian Cao (Ecliptae Herba): Also known as Li Chang Cao, Mo Dou Cao, Mo Tou Cao, Mo Dong Cao. Stems slightly red, turning black immediately upon breaking.
Hong Ya Da Ji (Euphorbiae Pekinensis Radix): Flesh slightly red indicates authenticity. White flesh is named Mian Da Ji, ineffective for sores/toxins.
Gu Shu (Broussonetia papyrifera / Paper Mulberry): Also known as Chu Shu, HT Shu. Leaves sometimes resemble cloud boards, sometimes not. Cutting the trunk yields sap.
Several times daily, after three days remove the heart, wash again, soak for 4-5 days. Take a pinch, place in a white porcelain basin, leave overnight. If the water color remains unchanged, it is safe. Wash 3-4 more times, drain, wrap in dough like a ball, bake in bran fire until the dough turns yellow on all sides and the internal medicine is thoroughly cooked. Remove, dry, stir-fry in pot until thorough, grind to powder. Its bitter-cold toxicity is purified through processing; it becomes sweet and warm, specifically eliminating hard knots, phlegm masses, and nodular toxins.
Mu Bie Zi (Semen Momordicae): Soak in water for half a month, boil in pot several times, then soak in hot water for several days. Scrape off skin and heart. Every day at Chen hour (7-9 AM), boil in sesame oil until oil foam disappears, then boil 100 times until black and brittle throughout. Scoop out with wire sieve, mix with fine powder of roasted red brick until the powder has an oily smell. Sieve to remove oily soil, replace with roasted red soil material, mix for one shichen (2 hours), sieve again. Process continuously for ten days without error. Stir-fry Mu Bie Zi with fine soil in a pot, mix in a basin, cover overnight, retrieve the seed, remove soil, grind to powder. This substance searches out wind-dampness entering bones/joints, dispels toxic phlegm凝结 (coagulated) in subcutaneous tissues. The extracted oil can be used in plaster preparation. This substance is highly toxic; if not properly processed, ingestion causes shaking and death. Must be cautious.
Ru Xiang (Olibanum): Those resembling nipples and transparent are good. Recently faked with Feng Xiang (Liquidambar Resin), sticky and hard to grind. For every 2 liang, stir-fry with 2.5 qian of rush pith until round, crisp, and powdery. Fan away rush pith, grind resin finely.
Mo Yao (Myrrha): Reddish like amber is good. Also stir-fried with rush pith, same as processing Ru Xiang.
Bing Pian (Borneolum Syntheticum): Often faked with Zhang Nao (Camphor). Those with tooth-like colors resembling plum blossom petals are good. Store with fir charcoal to prevent loss.
Xue Jie (Dragon's Blood): Sweet and salty taste, red color, stains fingernails true. If extremely salty and fishy-smelling, it is Hai Mu Xue (Sea Mother Blood) fake.
A Wei (Ferula Resin): Extremely foul odor. Take a little, rub on copper vessel overnight; if the rubbed area turns white like silver, it is authentic.
Peng Sha (Borax): Yellow like glue is authentic.
Sha Yuan Ji Li (Astragali Complanati Semen): Best produced in Tongguan. Flat like kidney beans, green skin sold in leather shops are authentic.
Chi Xiao Dou (Adzuki Bean): Also known as Fan Dou. Flat and red. Half-red/half-black is called Gui Yan Dou (Ghost Eye Bean); useless and harmful, absolutely do not use.
Wu Mei (Mume Fructus): Steamed green plums mixed with straw ash, dried. Shops often fake with small plums; must be homemade to be effective.
Shi Bing (Persimmon Cake): Large ones are best. Small wild persimmons are used to fake; harmful if used.
Bi Ma Zi You (Castor Oil): 5 sheng of castor seeds, crushed, boiled in 1 dou of water. Remove when white foam appears, stop when foam ends. Remove water, boil foam until it does not splatter when lighting a lamp.
Deng Xin Tan (Carbo Rushinis): Take a section of living bamboo, leave nodes at both ends, make a hole in the middle, stuff full of rush pith. Seal the hole with the original bamboo piece, wrap with mud. Bake in bran fire until bamboo becomes charcoal. Retrieve the rush pith charcoal inside.
E Jiao (Donkey-Hide Gelatin): Non-odorous is best. Green color is superior. Odorous ones are definitely fake; better to substitute with good ox-hide gelatin.
Lu Rong (Deer Antler Velvet): Several types exist, good ones are hard to get. Slices are especially prone to faking. A person close to a velvet merchant took 1 jin of blood slices for deficiency, with no effect. Upon questioning, the merchant admitted under drunkenness that it was made from ox tails and pig blood mixed with medicine. The slices could roll on the palm, indistinguishable from real velvet.
Lu Jiao Jiao (Deer-Horn Gelatin): All gelatin is authentic if self-boiled. Deer-horn gelatin must be boiled from genuine Guandong deer horns to be effective. Sichuan horns or fish-shaped horns that are white and long are weak in efficacy.
Gui Ban (Tartarochelys Carapace): Raw Gui Ban is potent. Pharmacies often mix in boiled Gui Ban; must distinguish.
Gui Jiao (Tortoise Shell Gelatin): Should be self-boiled. Plates should be thick and black; thin and yellow ones are weak.
Lai Xia Ha (Toad): Also known as Lai Tuan, Lao Chan. Red eyes and absence of 'eight-character' patterns on the abdomen indicate unusable specimens.
Qiang Lang (Scarabaeus): Also known as Tui Che Chong, Tui Shi Chong. Identified by rolling human feces into balls like carts.
Sao Jia Zi (Blatta orientalis / Oriental Cockroach): Originally named Xiao Jia Chong, also known as Tou You Po. In Jiangsu called KT. Has wings, flies, purple oily color. Found near stoves and... (Text cuts off here)
Yan You (Limax / Slug): Originally named Kuo Yu, also known as Bi Ti Chong. Shape resembles... (Text cuts off here)
Wo Niu (Helix Pomatia / Snail): Has whiskers on head, spiral shell on tail.
Lou Gu (Gryllotalpa / Mole Cricket): Also known as Hui Gu, i.e., Tu Gou (Earth Dog).
Meng Chong (Tabanus / Horsefly): Size of a bee, abdomen slightly flattened, yellow-green, likes feeding on horse/cattle blood.
