有一个五岁的小儿。因为观看庙会,看到化妆的鬼脸受到惊吓。两眼黑眼球向内翻转,白眼球向外翻转,视物时只能勉强看到一线光亮。多位医生无法治愈,请求我诊治。
我说:“这个孩子曾经出过痘疹吗?”对方回答说:“没有。”“等出过痘疹后就可以治疗了。”过了一个月,痘疹盛行,那个孩子发热,似乎有即将出痘的迹象,他的家人果然召我去诊治。我用绵胭脂将水泡出汁液,用慢火熬成膏状,涂抹在孩子双眼眼皮上下。一天涂抹两次,直到痘疹结痂脱落之后,眼睛才恢复原状。
小儿疳病,是由于乳母寒热失调、行为举止违背常理、饮食没有节制、甘肥食物摄入过度、喜怒情绪导致气机紊乱、醉酒饱食或劳累损伤乳汁供给者所致,从而形成疳病。又因为久吐之后、久泻之后、久痢之后,以致久渴、久汗、久热、久疟、久嗽、下血、久疮之后,都会导致津液耗失,进而形成疳病。钱乙说:“疳病都是由于脾胃受伤、津液亡失所导致的。”

A five-year-old child was frightened after watching a temple fair and seeing painted ghost faces. The black part of both eyes rolled inward, and the white part rolled outward, with vision reduced to barely seeing a line. Several physicians could not cure him, so they sought my treatment.
I said: "Has this child ever had smallpox?" The reply was: "No." "It can be treated after the smallpox erupts." A month later, smallpox became prevalent. The child developed fever, showing signs of impending eruption, and his family indeed summoned me. I extracted juice from cotton rouge soaked in water, boiled it slowly into a paste, and applied it to the upper and lower eyelids of the child's eyes. Applied twice a day, until after the smallpox scabs fell off, the eyes returned to normal.
Infantile malnutrition (Gan disease) arises from the wet nurse's imbalance of cold and heat, improper conduct, unregulated diet, excessive intake of sweet and fatty foods, emotional disturbances causing qi chaos, or damage to milk supply due to drunkenness, overeating, or fatigue. It also results from prolonged vomiting, diarrhea, dysentery, thirst, sweating, fever, malaria, coughing, hematochezia, or chronic sores, all of which deplete body fluids and lead to Gan disease. Qian Yi stated: "Gan diseases are all caused by spleen and stomach injury and depletion of body fluids."
