If he wants to defecate but cannot, the child becomes irritable, sweats profusely, and jumps and cries incessantly on the ground. In the autumn of 1971, a small amount of Bovine Bezoar Pill for Detoxification was first administered, which resulted in one dry stool, but without the medication, he still did not have a bowel movement for three to four days. According to Article 233 of the "Treatise on Cold Damage Diseases," a certain amount of honey was placed in a copper vessel and heated over a low flame until it thickened like syrup, stirring to prevent burning. When it was ready to be formed into pills, it was rolled by hand into sticks with pointed ends, about the size of a finger and two inches long. These were inserted into the rectum while still warm. Five minutes later, there was continuous flatulence, followed by a small bowel movement. After using this method, the child did not have dry stools for half a month. When the stools became dry again, the Fried-Honey Guiding Method was used again, and after three applications, the condition was cured.
