《三消》之论，刘河间之所作也。因麻征君寓汴梁，暇日访先生后裔，或举教医学人，即

《三消论》是刘河间所著。因为麻征君寄居在汴梁，闲暇时去拜访先生的后裔，有人建议他向医学人请教，指的就是先生（的后学）。征君规划前往其家，请求获得先生平日所著的遗留著作。于是拿出了《三消论》、《气宜》、《病机》三本书，其中没有流传于世的部分，文字大多不完整。只选取了《三消论》，在卷首增加了六位图和藏象图两幅，其余部分来不及润色，就交给友人穆子昭。
子昭，是河间门人穆大黄的后代。当时他在京城谋求官职，正处在困顿之中。征君想借此机会帮助他，因此我从子昭那里授受得到了一本。后来遭遇兵火，这本书便失传了。
偶然在乡人霍司承君祥处，又见到了这篇文章，但抄写错误很多，只是依据原本仿照抄录下来，以交付给后来的学人，详细地刊刻校正。
时间是甲辰年冬至日，锦溪野老书写。
柏葶东久亭寺僧悟大师傅经验方：治疗饮水上百杯，仍然觉得不够，小便像油一样，或者像杏子的颜色。服用此药三五天，小便大量排出，毒素归于下焦，十天永远根除病本。这个方子让张子和辨别过，说是重剂，可以使用。悟公亲自验证过了。
水银（四钱） 锡（二钱，用水银研磨成沙子状） 牡蛎（一两） 密陀僧（一两） 知母（一两）
紫花苦参（一两） 贝母（一两） 黄丹（半两） 栝蒌根（半两）
以上药物研成细末，男子用未生育过的猪肚一个，装入药物；妇人用猪肚一个，用麻线缝合。放在新瓦器中，用绳子系紧一两圈，加入米一升，另外再用栝蒌根末半斤，放入新汲取的水中煮熟，取出放凉，用砂盆内研磨烂，混合做成丸药，按照猪肚丸的方法使用。
The "Treatise on Sanxiao" (Three Wasting-Thirst Syndromes) was authored by Liu Hejian. Since Master Ma Zhengjun resided in Bianliang, during his leisure time he visited the descendants of Mr. Liu. Someone suggested that he seek instruction from medical practitioners, referring to the lineage of Mr. Liu. Master Ma planned to visit their home to request the遗害 (left-behind manuscripts) composed by Mr. Liu in his lifetime. Consequently, three books were presented: *Sanxiao Lun* (Treatise on Three Wasting-Thirst Syndromes), *Qi Yi* (Appropriateness of Qi), and *Bing Ji* (Pathological Mechanisms). The parts not yet circulated in the world had incomplete texts. Only *Sanxiao Lun* was selected; two diagrams, the "Six Positions Diagram" (Liù Wèi Tú) and the "Zang-Fu Image Diagram" (Zàng Xiàng Tú), were added to the beginning of the volume. The remaining parts were left unpolished due to lack of time and were handed over to his friend Mu Zizhao.
Zizhao was a descendant of Mu Dahuang, a disciple of Hejian. At that time, he was seeking an official position in the capital but was facing financial difficulties. Master Ma wished to benefit him through this opportunity, and thus I received a copy from Zizhao. Later, due to war and fire, the transmission of this text was lost.
Accidentally, while at the residence of my fellow townsman, Official Huo Sicheng Junxiang, I encountered the text again. However, the copied version contained many errors. I merely transcribed it based on the original model and delivered it to future students for detailed correction and publication.
Written on the Winter Solstice Day of the Jiachen Year by Jinxi Yelao (Old Man of Jinxi).
Empirical Prescription of Master Monk Wu of Jiu Ting Temple, Baixingdong: Treats conditions where one drinks hundreds of cups of water yet still feels unsatisfied, with urine resembling oil or the color of apricot kernels. After taking this medicine for three to five days, urine will be discharged profusely, expelling toxins to the lower jiao (Lower Burner), permanently eliminating the root cause within ten days. This prescription was examined by Zhang Hezi, who stated it is a heavy-dose formula and can be used. Master Wu has personally verified its efficacy.
