The clinical symptoms, causes and treatment of various carbuncles were elaborated, and it was emphasized that carbuncles should be treated as early as possible: "When the disease first occurs, the poison will rot the muscles. If it is not treated early, the poison will penetrate the membrane, and the membrane will be strong. If there is diarrhea, the internal organs will lose their nourishment, the spirit will be withered, and the pulse will be broken and inexhaustible."
