  Although Robinet (1997) insists that Ge Hong was only interested in pharmacology as an adjunct to alchemy, the Baopuzi also includes important material on medicine and pharmacology. Other pharmacological treatises attributed to him are no longer extant: Prescriptions for Rescuing the Dying after the Pulse-taking (Zhou hou jiu zu Fang 肘後救卒方), Prescriptions from the Jade Box (玉函方 Yu han fang), Herbal Recipes from the Gold Cabinet (Jin gui yaofang 金匱藥方), and Prescriptions for Emergencies after Taking the Pulses (Zhou hou bei ji fang 肘后備急方), which is said to be the first Chinese text to mention smallpox (tian hua bing 天花病). Thirteen texts attributed to Ge Hong are preserved in the Daoist Canon (Dao zang 道藏), but most are probably later works (Robinet 1997, 78–113, Theobald 2013).
