**A Remedy for Gastric Ulcers: Retired Cadre Shares a Proven Formula!** **From a Caring Netizen (Rose Appointment, QQ: 2043632855):** Hello, Teacher Hu, my father suffered from gastric ulcers for many years without finding a cure. Later, a friend recommended a specialized formula for treating duodenal and gastric ulcers. After taking it, from the age of 58 until his passing at 86, he never experienced a recurrence. My father lived in the countryside. After his recovery, I left home to work in Langfang. I later recommended this remedy to others, and they were also cured. At the time, my father only consumed half of the formula, and the other half was given to a neighbor in the same village, who also recovered from gastric ulcers and is still alive today. The total cost was only 1.75 yuan. **The Formula:** - Cuttlebone (乌贼骨): 125 grams - Alum (枯矾): 250 grams - Corydalis Rhizome (元胡): 8 grams Grind the above ingredients into a fine powder. Take 375 grams of honey, heat it until it thickens, and mix it with the three powdered ingredients. Form the mixture into pills, each about the size of a standard Chinese herbal pill (approximately the size of three soybean grains). Take one pill three times daily, either before or after meals. I am a retired section-level cadre from the Langfang Postal Bureau and can vouch for the authenticity of this formula. I hope sharing this remedy will benefit many people. **Contributor:** Teacher Xue Wenzeng
