1.108

"Medicine becoming an illness— (The barbarian drinks milk and in turn blames the good physician.)
Take warning from the ancient sages! (Too many physicians confuse the pulse.)
Illness becoming medicine— (Treating medicine with medicine; removing poison with poison.)
Who must that be? (Could it be Tiantong?)
White head and black head—sons who can carry on the family; (Fired from a single kiln!)
With phrases and without phrases—the dynamic that cuts off the flow. (Causing Guishan to laugh all over again!)
Magnificently they cut off the road of the tongue, (Dead once, they do not live again.)
And should laugh at that old awl of Vaiśālī. (Only got hold of one end.)"
