Remember clearly, the smaller bowl is boiled with lime, and the larger bowl is boiled with water, don’t remember it wrong.”

"Later, you go find some cold patients, one group of ten, four groups of forty.

The first group was not given any medicine.

The second group was given medicine boiled in lime water.

The third group was not given any medicine.

The fourth group took medicine boiled in water."

"Do you remember it?" Li Mengxi asked.

Tian Bu nodded.

After thinking about it, Li Mengxi suddenly remembered something, "Tian Bu, how much medicine do you think is appropriate?"

When Tian Bu heard this, he looked at the two bowls of white powder in his hand that he didn't know the details of. Tian Bu hesitated and asked, "...how much does the military advisor think should be used?"

It was so bad, Li Mengxi thought to himself, how do I know the properties of the medicine?

After scratching his head and thinking for a moment, Li Mengxi felt that it took eight kilograms of willow branches to cook such a small amount. Eating this small amount would be equivalent to eating eight kilograms of willow bark, and a person would probably die from eating it.

Considering that not much was extracted, the dosage was too much and not enough for the patient.

After considering all kinds of considerations, Li Mengxi told Tian Bu a number, "In this way, one gram per person...here, here...here, give me a small spoon and scoop out half a spoonful."

The use of high-purity drugs can be measured in grams, which is completely different from the measurement method of traditional Chinese medicine.

For traditional Chinese medicine, the minimum dose is about qian, qian or two qian in weight, but high-purity extracts can be as small as one and a half grams.

Neither Tian Bu nor other military doctors had the tools or methods to measure microscopic weights.

This made Li Mengxi realize that with the advancement of highly purified drugs, supporting accurate weighing tools are bound to be needed.

As his thoughts whirled, Li Mengxi thought that he could make some very small earpick-sized spoons, and then take the medicine one spoon at a time. In this way, he could control the dosage to nanometers.

Tian Bu was asked again if he had remembered the test process clearly, and Tian Bu answered it completely.

The drug testing process is to find 40 patients with cold and cold, and then give some drugs and some without drugs to compare the efficacy of the drugs.

After giving Tian Bu the test method, Li Mengxi felt that there was no problem.

But Tian Bu hesitated at this time. Tian Bu hesitated and asked aloud, "Military advisor, if someone gets sick, he is not allowed to see it. What if..." Tian Bu looked worried.

Tian Bu only said half of what he said, and Li Mengxi understood what Tian Bu meant.

Li Mengxi couldn't help but be cautious. Indeed, wind-cold disease is not a small disease, but it can kill people.

People come to see a doctor, but they are not given medical treatment. They are also taken away for medicinal experiments. The experiment is on a drug whose medicinal properties are not known at all. This is very unreasonable and inhumane.

However, if we don’t recruit people for testing, there will be no way to test the medicine.

Li Mengxi was silent for a while. He looked at Tian Bu and asked, "But Tian Bu, if you don't find someone to test the medicine, how will you know if the medicine is effective?"

Tian Bu smiled, "I'll try it! We military doctors should come to test the medicine in person, so how can we let patients come to try it?" Tian Bu smiled naturally.

Tian Bu didn't wear an iron stomach to cover his hair today, and his short, ungrown hair looked so abrupt. Tian Bu naturally said that testing medicines is a doctor's job, and there was no reason to let patients test medicines.

Li Mengxi was moved. He looked at Tian Bu intently. At this moment, Li Mengxi felt the valuable qualities of Tian Bu and other herbal doctors or traditional Chinese medicine doctors. They were the consistent practices passed down for thousands of years from the time when Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs.

Inherited spirit of exploration and dedication.

Compared with Tian Bu, Li Mengxi reflected that he seemed to be preparing to test patients very casually, without even realizing that there was anything wrong.

Li Mengxi opened his mouth. He wanted to agree with Tian Bu's approach, "But, does one of your military doctors get sick? Even three or two of them are sick. If there are not enough people, there is no way to compare..."

Tian Bu chuckled and said, "When one of us gets sick, we can try it sooner or later."

However, if the test is not unified, one person is tested today and another person is tested tomorrow. People's physiques are different, and the weather is different from day to day. If you test like this, the data will be messy.

Li Mengxi thought seriously for a long time, and he solemnly said to Tian Bu, "Tian Bu, I will give you two methods.

First, you go and search, specifically looking for strong and healthy people to test the medicine. Such strong and healthy people can survive the cold for only three or two days without dying. At the same time, everyone who participates in the testing of the medicine will not die.

If someone dies during the experiment, we will pay a pound of meatballs. If someone dies during the experiment, the compensation will be a hundred thousand pounds of money and five hundred pounds of food. If there is a family, the family will be settled by the army."

For this first method, Li Mengxi decided that he still had to find patients to test the drug, and at the same time, he added trial drug remuneration and risk compensation.

After listening to the method Li Mengxi said, Tian Bu still felt that it was not good to let patients try the medicine. He hesitated and wanted to say something, but he hesitated.

"As for the second method," Li Mengxi stared at Tian Bu's eyes for a long time, "it's the method of contracting the epidemic. What is the method of contracting the epidemic?"

Tian Bu, you should know the principle of disease. The cause of disease is that tiny living viruses infect and multiply in the human body. These tiny things will be expelled from the body when people breathe and sneeze.

Therefore, if one person upwind sneezes, hundreds of people downwind will get sick.

You military doctors are well versed in the subtleties of the human body's acupuncture points. When a disease occurs on you, the medicine used on you will indeed be better than the medicine used on the patient.

As for the method of contracting the epidemic, you military doctors take the initiative to contract the disease... Do you understand?"

Tian Bu understood completely and nodded solemnly.

After that, Li Mengxi explained some details. For example, people who are testing the medicine should be arranged in the same group and not allowed to move around at will. Otherwise, if someone gets better after taking the medicine today, someone else will get sick and be infected again.

, this will distort the test.

In addition to this, it is also best to take a careful look at the test medicine, otherwise, someone may have bad habits at night and push off the quilt while sleeping. As a result, it is not known whether he caught a cold at night and the disease relapsed.

, but the medicine still didn’t work at all.

Finally, Li Mengxi thought that he could add a group of common medicines for treating wind and cold, and use this as a comparison to see whether the powder extracted from the willow tree is more effective, or the ordinary medicines.

If at the end of the test it is found that willow powder is not as good as ordinary medicine, then the value of willow powder will not be that great.

Tian Bu wrote down everything Li Mengxi told him.
