宁郡乐姓女子，年龄刚满十五岁。在夏秋交替之际，患上腹部胀满疼痛，神志昏蒙烦闷，恶心呕吐，饮食无法进入体内，四肢发冷且出汗，身体发热并感到口渴。诊察其脉象，浮取时洪大且数急，沉取时弦硬有力。
这是暑湿秽浊之邪，从口鼻吸入，直接趋向中道，侵入募原，挟带少阳胆火向上冲逆，因此出现胸腹疼痛和呕吐逆气。处方使用荸荠汁、藕汁、西瓜汁、莱菔汁各一杯，将郁金、枳实、木香、槟榔各五分磨成粉。服用七剂后痊愈。
武林吴子翁的女儿，陆点翁的孙媳妇。在丁亥年冬天患上伏暑病，突然发生厥逆，眼睛瞪大，神志昏迷。点翁急忙邀请我前往诊治。我前去诊察，脉象沉取数而有力，确系暑邪内闭所致。由于夜间不便施针，紧急针刺十宣穴放血，以及曲池穴、人中穴。处方使用石菖蒲、郁金、竹沥、石膏、藿香、槟榔等药。先调服紫雪丹八分。次日早晨复诊，症状复发如前。于是用针从印堂穴刺入，沿皮透刺至两侧率谷穴。患者睁开眼睛，知道疼痛。我随即告知她无妨。凡是治疗卒厥及小儿急惊风症，全看此穴。针刺进入得气与不得气，以及顶门（百会穴）进针时是否知痛，以此决断生死。如果印堂穴进针无气感，针下空虚，如同插入豆腐；或者顶门进针不知痛苦，即使是华佗、扁鹊也难以救活。此症针刺完毕后，患者即能开口说话，而方药仍以芳香利窍、通神之品为主。服用数剂后即痊愈。
某位五十岁左右的妇女，从石门抵达杭州。当时正值仲秋，途中劳累疲惫，感受风露，微有寒热往来，胸闷恶心呕吐，大便秘结，腹胀疼痛不能进食。这是阳明湿郁化火，津液不能濡布，肠胃传导失职。治疗以宣化通腑为法。处方使用桔梗、杏仁、黄芩、藿香、郁金、蔻壳、山栀、生枳实、元明粉，加白蜜。服用一剂后所有病症皆愈。
The daughter of the Le family in Ning Commandery, just reaching the age of fifteen (Ji Ji), suffered from abdominal distension and pain during the transition between summer and autumn. She experienced mental confusion and oppression, nausea, and vomiting, unable to take food or water. Her limbs were cold with sweating, her body was hot, and she felt thirsty. Palpation revealed a floating pulse that was surging and rapid, and a deep pulse that was wiry and forceful.
This is pathogenic heat-toxins and turbid dampness (Shu Hui) absorbed through the mouth and nose, directly moving to the middle jiao, entering the Mu Yuan (sea of origin). It carries the fire of the Shaoyang Gallbladder upward, causing chest and abdominal pain with vomiting and rebellious qi. The prescription used juice of water caltrop, lotus root, watermelon, and radish, one cup each. Jinyin (Curcuma aromatica Rhizome), Zhishi (Immature Bitter Orange), Muxiang (Vladimiria Root), and Binglang (Areca Seed), each ground to five fen, were administered. After seven doses, she recovered.
The daughter of Wu Ziweng in Wulin, granddaughter-in-law of Lu Dianweng, suffered from latent summerheat disease in the winter of the Dinghai year. She suddenly developed jue ni (cold extremities and loss of consciousness), staring eyes, and unconsciousness. Dianweng urgently summoned me. Upon examination, the pulse was deep, rapid, and forceful, confirming internal closure by summerheat pathogens. As acupuncture could not be performed at night, I urgently pricked the Ten Fingers (Shixuan points) for bleeding, as well as Quchi (LI11) and Renzhong (GV26). The prescription included Shichangpu (Acorus Rhizome), Yujin (Curcuma Longa Rhizome), Zhuli (Bamboo Sap), Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum), Huoxiang (Patchouli Herb), and Binglang (Areca Seed). First, eight fen of Zixue Dan (Purple Snow Pill) was mixed and administered. On the next morning, upon re-examination, symptoms recurred as before. Therefore, acupuncture was used: inserting from Yintang (EX-HN3) along the skin to penetrate both Shuaigu (GB8). The patient opened her eyes and perceived pain. I informed her there was no danger. In treating sudden jue (syncope) and pediatric acute convulsive wind, the outcome entirely depends on this point. Whether the needle obtains Deqi (arrival of qi) or not, and whether the patient feels pain upon insertion into the top of the head (Baihui GV20), determines life or death. If insertion into Yintang yields no qi sensation, feeling empty like inserting into tofu; or if insertion into the top of the head causes no pain, even Hua Tuo or Bian Que would find it difficult to revive the patient. After this acupuncture treatment, the patient could speak immediately. The herbal formula still focused on aromatic orifices-opening and spirit-unblocking agents. After several doses, she recovered.
A certain woman, around fifty years old, traveled from Shimen to Hangzhou. It was mid-autumn. Exhausted from the journey, she contracted wind and dew, experiencing slight chills and fever, chest tightness, nausea, constipation, abdominal distension and pain, and inability to eat. This was Yangming dampness stagnation transforming into fire, where body fluids failed to moisten and distribute, leading to failure of intestinal and stomach transmission. Treatment aimed at diffusing and unblocking the fu organs. The prescription used Jiegeng (Platycodon Root), Xingren (Apricot Seed), Huangqin (Scutellaria Root), Huoxiang (Patchouli Herb), Yujin (Curcuma Longa Rhizome), Kouqiao (Tsaoko Cardamom Shell), Shanzhi (Gardenia Fruit), raw Zhishi (Immature Bitter Orange), Yuanmingfen (Mirabilite), added with white honey. After one dose, all ailments resolved.
