The "Angong Niuhuang Pill" recorded in Treatise on Febrile Diseases was created by Wu Jutong, a famous epidemiologist in Qing Dynasty, during the epidemic of febrile diseases (equivalent to the outbreak of serious infectious diseases in modern times). It can be used for the treatment of febrile diseases, and patients are characterized by high fever, irritability and unconsciousness. The original prescription consists of Calculus Bovis, Radix Curcumae, Rhinoceros horn, Coptidis Rhizoma, Cinnabaris, Plum Blossom, Musk, Pearl, Gardenia, Realgar, Golden Foil Coat and Scutellaria baicalensis. Grinding all the medicines into fine powder, adding old honey to make pills, each weighing one yuan, wrapped in gold foil, and then sealed with wax. Because rhinoceros and musk deer are national protected animals and are not allowed to be hunted, the current practice is to replace rhinoceros horn with water horn and replace musk with artificial musk; The bezoar in the prescription is a stone in the gallbladder of cattle, and the source of medicine is very scarce. Nowadays, artificial bezoar is mostly used instead.
