What kind of prescription is this one from abroad, I wonder, remarked Mrs. Chou; if you, miss, would only tell me, it would be worth our while bearing it in mind, and recommending it to others: and if ever we came across any one afflicted with this disease, we would also be doing a charitable deed.
Youd better not ask for the prescription, rejoined Pao Chai smiling. Why, its enough to wear one out with perplexity! the necessaries and inGREdients are few, and all easy to get, but it would be difficult to find the lucky moment! You want twelve ounces of the pollen of the white peone, which flowers in spring, twelve ounces of the pollen of the white summer lily, twelve ounces of the pollen of the autumn hibiscus flower, and twelve ounces of the white plum in bloom in the winter. You take the four kinds of pollen, and put them in the sun, on the very day of the vernal equinox of the succeeding year to get dry, and then you mix them with the powder and pound them well together. You again want twelve mace of water, fallen on rain water day
Good gracious! exclaimed Mrs. Chou promptly, as she laughed. From all you say, why you want three years time! and what if no rain falls on rain water day! What would one then do?
Quite so! Pao Chai remarked smilingly; how can there be such an opportune rain on that very day! but to wait is also the best thing, theres nothing else to be done. Besides, you want twelve mace of dew, collected on White Dew day, and twelve mace of the hoar frost, gathered on Frost Descent day, and twelve mace of snow, fallen on Slight Snow day! You next take these four kinds of waters and mix them with the other inGREdients, and make pills of the size of a lungngan. You keep them in an old porcelain jar, and bury them under the roots of some flowers; and when the ailment betrays itself, you produce it and take a pill, washing it down with two candareens of a yellow cedar decoction.
