As it races to treat patients infected with the new coronavirus, the Chinese government is seeing potential in a cocktail of antiviral drugs. It is also recommending the Peaceful Palace Bovine Pill, a traditional Chinese medicine made with the gallstone of cattle, buffalo horn, jasmine and pearl.
Sui-Lee Wee. NYT.
When you're feeling seedy and you don't know what to do,
take a little rhino horn to keep away the flu.
Over there in China all the doctors recommend
jello from a donkey hide infused with urine blend.
Penis tea (from deer, of course) with bits of ground up pearl
will make Coronavirus start to wither up and curl.
Cocklebur emulsion will soon have you in the pink;
along with ginkgo seedlings and perhaps the kitchen sink.
Take cinnabar for palsy, and for cramps and sneezing fits.
Try a bite of seahorse when your body's on the fritz.
Those Chinese doctors know their stuff, when fungus you require;
otherwise I'd have to say their treatments are too dire.
