Original text:

Human nature is the most miserly, and they feel each other's tuberculosis. The doctor diagnosed the cloud: "The pulse is weak, so ginseng should be used to nourish it." The patient was shocked and said, "the strength is weak, but only the appointment can be made." The doctor said, "Since ginseng is not used, it must be replaced by cultivated land, and its price is quite cheap." The patient shook his head and said, "It's too expensive. I just want to die."

The doctor knew that he was stingy, but he lied, saying, "If there is another side, you can make up the Yuan God by mixing black sugar with dry shit." The patient jumped up and asked, "I don't know if shit is blindly used, can it be used baldly?"

Vernacular translation:

A person with the meanest temperament suddenly fell ill with tuberculosis. The doctor diagnosed that "the pulse is weak, so it is best to use ginseng to tonify his body." The patient was very surprised, looked at the doctor and said, "I am weak, so I have to resign myself to fate." The doctor said: "If ginseng is not used, it must be replaced by Radix Rehmanniae, and its price is very cheap."

The patient shook his head and said, "It costs too much, and he would rather die." Knowing that he was stingy, the doctor lied to him and said, "There is another prescription. Take it with dry dog shit and brown sugar for one or two dollars, and you can also make up your body." The patient asked excitedly, "I don't know if shit is blind, can it be used alone?"
