疔疮皆生四肢，发黄泡，中或紫黑，必先痒后痛、先寒后热也。其中或紫黑色有条如红丝直上，
仓卒之际，急以针于红丝所至处必刺出毒血，然后以蟾酥丹药于刺处涂之。针时以病者知痛出血即好。
否则，红丝入腹攻心，必致危矣。
疔疮者，风邪热毒相搏也。

疔疮都生长在四肢，皮肤发黄起泡，疮顶颜色有的呈紫黑色。发病时必定先感到瘙痒，然后才疼痛；身体必定先出现恶寒，随后才发热。如果疮周或沿经络出现紫黑色的红线，像红丝一样直向上延伸，在紧急情况下，必须立即用针在红线所到达的部位刺破，放出毒血，然后在针刺处涂抹蟾酥丹药。针刺时，以患者感觉到疼痛并有血液流出为适宜程度。否则，毒邪顺着红线进入腹部攻犯心脏，必然导致生命危险。

有一个男子患疔疮，服用夺命丹后，汗出不止且疮口不痛，发热不止且大便不通利，这是汗多导致亡阳、毒瓦斯旺盛而真气受损的表现。

Carbuncles (Ding Chuang) all occur on the four limbs, presenting with yellow blisters; the center may be purple or black. The symptoms invariably begin with itching followed by pain, and chills followed by fever. If a purple-black line resembling a red thread extends straight upward from the lesion, in an emergency, one must urgently prick the tip of the red thread with a needle to drain toxic blood, then apply Chan Su Pill (Toad Venom Pill) to the pricked site. During needling, it is appropriate when the patient feels pain and blood flows. Otherwise, the toxin may travel along the red thread into the abdomen and attack the Heart, leading to critical danger.
The etiology of Carbuncles is the struggle between Wind pathogen and Heat toxin.

Apply the dregs to the sore. On this day, refrain from drinking tea; only use wine for ingestion and washing, and do not use water.

If severe cases have no sweat, administer two more pills; recovery follows sweating. If Carbuncle Zou Huang [Toxic Spread] has reached the Heart, or if sweating is cold, treatment is difficult. If the patient cannot chew scallion, grind it and wrap the pill for administration. For sores on the upper body, take after meals; for lower body, take before meals.

A man suffered from a Carbuncle. After taking Duo Ming Dan, he had incessant sweating but painless sore, persistent fever but constipation. This indicated Yang collapse due to excessive sweating,盛 toxic vapors damaging true Qi.
Prescribed Ren Shen (Ginseng Root), [missing character, likely Huang Qi], Dang Gui (Angelica Sinensis Root), Zhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome), Shao Yao (Peony Root), Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia Root), Wu Wei Zi (Schisandra Fruit). Two doses cured all symptoms, except worry about difficulty urinating. I said: Difficulties in urination should not be treated with diuretics after sweating. Once sweating stops, Yang Qi recovers and urination will normalize naturally. Continued with previous formula, removing Fangfeng, adding Mai Men Dong (Ophiopogon Tuber), Dang Gui (Angelica Sinensis Root), [missing character, likely Huang Qi]. Four doses resulted in normal urination, ulceration of the sore, and recovery.
Moxibustion Method (Treats Carbuncle malignant toxins.)
Crush Da Suan (Garlic) into paste, apply around the swollen area, leaving the apex exposed. Perform moxibustion with Ai Zhu (Moxa Cone) until a popping sensation is felt. If no popping occurs, healing is difficult; perform over one hundred moxa cones. No case fails to heal.
