Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑
常服延年益壽. 鹿角膠ㆍ鹿角霜ㆍ兎絲子ㆍ栢子仁ㆍ熟地黃 各八兩, 白茯苓ㆍ破故紙 各四兩. 右磨爲細末, 酒煮米糊和丸, 或以鹿角膠入好酒烊化和丸梧子大. 薑鹽湯下五十丸. ○昔蜀中有一老人, 貨此藥於市, 自云壽三百八十歲矣. 每歌曰, 尾閭不禁滄海竭, 九轉金丹都謾說, 惟有斑龍頂上珠, 能補玉堂關下血. 有學其道者, 傳得此方, 彼老人化爲白鶴飛去, 不知所終. 《正傳》
Translation
Taken regularly it lengthens the years and extends the life. Deer antler glue, deer antler residue, cuscuta seed, arborvitae seed and prepared rehmannia, 8 nyang each; white poria and psoralea, 4 nyang each. Grind them to a fine powder and make pills with rice paste boiled in wine, or melt the antler glue in good wine and make pills the size of a parasol-tree seed with that; take fifty at a dose down with a decoction of ginger and salt. ○ Long ago in Shu there was an old man who sold this medicine in the market and said of himself that he was three hundred and eighty years old. He would always sing: the tailgate unguarded, the blue sea runs dry; of the nine-times-turned golden elixir all the talk is idle; only the pearl on the spotted dragon's crown can replenish the blood below the jade hall's gate. One who studied his way was given this formula, and the old man turned into a white crane and flew off, and no one knows where he ended. — Jeongjeon 正傳 (Donguibogam · Sinhyeong)
