升麻汤解肌兼治疮子，已发未发皆可服，但不可疏转，此为大戒。伤寒身热固不可下，疮疹

凡是痘疮刚刚要结痂时，立即用酥油或面油不断滋润它，可以揭去时就揭去。如果不滋润，拖延时间揭去疮痂，变硬后就会留下瘢痕，终身受累。（附录）
凡是小儿实热证经过通利大便后，如果没有虚证表现，不可胡乱使用温补法。热邪必定随之产生，（附录）
我平生致力于研究方药，诊察脉象、辨析证候，虽然有一定的法则，但在探求病源、随机应变方面，自认为效果奇妙超出意料。因为脉象难以通过言语来确切求证，这是针对襁褓中的婴儿和幼童而言，更是如此。所以我专门以此作为职业，将近四十年。由于机缘巧合，供奉于宫廷禁地，屡次取得微薄疗效，误受皇恩宠幸。然而小儿的疾病中，阴阳失调导致的惊痫最为严重，而医生所深思的，医经中已有详尽论述；至于斑疹的证候，往往危险凶恶，反而出现惊厥抽搐，这与伤寒引起的两种痫证大体相同，但用药却非常不同，处方稍有差错，谬误就难以纠正，而医生们却安然不以为虑。近来得到告老还乡回到广川的董及之，他拿出自己开列的一秩（指一册或一批）方子给我看，我打开书卷惊叹道：这是我平日所用心研究的，而你竟然不说出来，流传下来让我得到。我深深赞赏及之年少时医术的精妙，又欣慰于他愿意传授给他人以符合平素的愿望，于是就在书卷末尾写下这段话。
当时元佑八年十月丙申日，翰林医官太医丞、赐紫金鱼袋钱乙题写于董氏《小儿斑疹备急方论》全书之后。
这一卷论述小儿疮疹。疮疹与伤寒相似，都有头疼身热、脚冷脉数的症状，在疑似难辨之间，只给予升麻汤。因为升麻汤能解肌并兼治疮疹，无论已经发出还是尚未发出都可以服用，只是不可使用通利大便的方法，这是最大的禁忌。伤寒身热本来就不可以使用下法，疮疹发热在表更不可以通利，世人不学习却说初觉时用药物通利，以宣发毒邪。这是错误的。又说疮豆已经发出不可通利，如果发出已定或者脓血太多，却再用通利方法也是不对的。大抵疮疹从头到尾都不可以使用下法。小儿身热，耳朵冷，屁股冷、咳嗽就随意使用通利药物，就会导致毒瓦斯入里杀人，只应当使用化毒汤、紫草木通汤、鼠粘子汤；如果发出得太盛，就使用犀角地黄汤来化解；如果疮痘出不快，烦躁不得睡眠的，用水解散、麻黄黄芩汤、升麻黄芩汤、活血散主治；如果疮痘黑陷倒伏，猪尾膏、无比散、龙脑膏子没有不灵验的；如果热毒攻冲咽喉疼痛，用如圣汤；疮豆进入眼睛，用决明散、拨云散、密蒙花散、通圣散、蛤粉散主治。治疗疮疹的方法没有超出这些了。
升麻汤 治疗伤寒中风，头痛憎寒壮热，肢体疼痛，发热畏寒，鼻干不得睡觉。兼治小儿大人疮疹已经发出或尚未发出，都可以服用，兼治寒暖不时，人们多患疾疫，忽暖忽冷脱衣着衣不当，以及暴热之后忽然变为阴寒，身体疼痛，头重如石的情况。

犀角地黄汤 治疗伤寒及温病应当发汗而没有发汗，体内有瘀血的，以及鼻衄吐血不尽，体内有余留，瘀血导致面色黄，大便黑的情况，此方主要消化瘀血，兼治疮疹发出得太盛，用此方化解。

Powdered Cicada Slough (Cicadae Periostracum).
Boil the above in sheep liver soup, and take one or two qian with the decoction.
Whenever a smallpox rash is just about to form scabs, immediately moisten it continuously with butter or flour oil. Remove the scabs as soon as they can be peeled off. If not moistened, delaying the removal of scabs will cause them to harden and leave permanent scars, causing lifelong suffering. (Appendix)
For children with excess heat syndromes who have undergone purgation, if there are no signs of deficiency, do not recklessly use warming and tonifying methods. Heat will inevitably arise. (Appendix)
Throughout my life, I have dedicated myself to studying herbal prescriptions, examining pulses and differentiating syndromes. Although there are established principles, I believe that exploring the root causes and adapting to changes yields effects that are wonderfully beyond expectation. This is especially true for infants in swaddling clothes and young children, whose pulse conditions are difficult to ascertain through words alone. Thus, I have made this my sole profession for nearly forty years. By chance, I was admitted to serve in the imperial palace, achieving modest results and receiving undeserved imperial favor. However, among pediatric diseases, convulsions and epilepsy caused by yin-yang imbalance are the most severe. While physicians ponder deeply on this, medical classics have already provided detailed discussions. Regarding rashes and macules, the condition is often perilous and malignant, frequently accompanied by convulsions and tremors. These present similarly to the two types of epilepsy caused by Cold Damage (Shanghan), yet the medicinal approaches differ significantly. A slight error in prescription leads to irreparable mistakes, yet physicians remain complacent. Recently, Dong Jizhi, who had retired to his hometown in Guangchuan, showed me a collection of his prescriptions. Opening the volume, I exclaimed: "This is what I have devoted myself to studying, yet you kept it secret until now." I deeply admire Jizhi's mastery of medicine in his youth and appreciate his willingness to share his knowledge, fulfilling his long-held wish. Thus, I wrote this at the end of the volume.
Written on the day Bing Shen of the tenth month of the eighth year of Yuanyou (1093 AD) by Qian Yi, Hanlin Medical Officer, Grand Master of the Imperial Medical Bureau, recipient of the Purple Gold Fish Bag, upon the completion of Dong's *Treatise on Emergency Prescriptions for Pediatric Rashes*.
This volume discusses pediatric rashes and sores. Rashes resemble Cold Damage (Shanghan), presenting with headache, fever, cold feet, and rapid pulse. In cases of doubt, only Shengma Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction - Note: actually Primula Decoction) should be used. Because Shengma Tang releases the muscle layer and treats rashes, it can be taken whether the rash has erupted or not. However, purgation is strictly forbidden; this is the greatest taboo. In Cold Damage, fever should not be treated with purgatives; in rashes, when heat is in the exterior, purgation is even more contraindicated. Unlearned people claim that early intervention with purgatives helps expel toxins. This is erroneous. It is also said that once rashes have erupted, purgation is forbidden. Even if pus and blood are excessive after eruption, using purgatives is incorrect. Generally, rashes should never be treated with purgatives from start to finish. For children with fever, cold ears, cold buttocks, and cough, using purgatives allows toxins to enter the interior and kill. Instead, use Huadu Tang (Detoxification Decoction), Zicao Mutong Tang (Arnebia and Akebia Decoction), or Niuzi Tang (Burdock Seed Decoction); if eruptions are too profuse, use Xijiao Dihuang Tang (Rhinoceros Horn and Rehmannia Decoction) to resolve it; if eruptions are slow, accompanied by irritability and insomnia, use Shuijie San (Water-Resolving Powder), Mahuang Huangqin Tang (Ephedra and Scutellaria Decoction), Shengma Huangqin Tang (Primula and Scutellaria Decoction), or Huoxue San (Blood-Invigorating Powder); for black, inverted, or sunken rashes, Zhuwei Gao (Pig Tail Ointment), Wubi San (Incomparable Powder), or Longnao Gaozi (Borneol Pills) are all effective; if heat-toxins attack the throat causing pain, use Rusheng Tang (Like-Sage Decoction); if rashes affect the eyes, use Jueming San (Cassia Seed Powder), Boyun San (Cloud-Piercing Powder), Mimenghua San (Mimosa Flower Powder), Tongsheng San (Universal Salvation Decoction), or Hafan San (Clam Shell Powder). These are the methods for treating rashes.
**Shengma Tang (Primula Decoction)** Treats Cold Damage and Wind Strike, with headache, aversion to cold, high fever, limb pain, fever, chills, dry nose, and inability to sleep. Also treats pediatric and adult rashes, whether erupted or not. Additionally treats irregular weather patterns, epidemics, improper dressing due to sudden warmth, and sudden shifts from intense heat to cold, causing body pain and heavy head.
*Ingredients:* Shengma (Primulae Radix), Baishao Yao (White Peony Root), Gancao (Licorice Root, honey-fried), Gange (Kudzu Root) in equal parts.
*Preparation:* Cut into pieces the size of hemp seeds. Take five qian per dose. Boil in 1.5 cups of water until reduced to 0.8 cups. Strain and take warm. If there is false cold, take hot; if heat, take warm. For rashes, follow this method. Stop medication once the body cools. Children adjust dosage according to age. For elderly patients, remove Baishao Yao and add Chaihu (Bupleurum Root) 1 liang, Renshen (Ginseng Root) 0.5 liang, and Xuebai Shaoyao (Snow-white Peony Root) 0.1 fen.
**Xijiao Dihuang Tang (Rhinoceros Horn and Rehmannia Decoction)** Treats Cold Damage and Warm Diseases where sweating was indicated but not performed, resulting in internal blood stasis. Also treats incomplete epistaxis or hematemesis, residual internal heat, yellow complexion due to stasis, and black stool. This formula resolves blood stasis and treats excessively profuse rashes.

If there is heat with manic behavior, add Huangqin (Scutellaria Root) 2 liang. If the pulse is large but slow, and the abdomen feels full despite not being distended, there is no heat; do not use Huangqin.
**Mahuang Huangqin Tang (Ephedra and Scutellaria Decoction)** Treats pediatric Cold Damage with no sweat, headache, fever, and aversion to cold. Also treats epidemic heat, slow eruption of pox-like sores, increased irritability and confusion, or persistent body pain and heat after eruption.
*Ingredients:* Mahuang (Ephedra Stem, nodes removed) 1 liang, Huangqin (Scutellaria Root) 0.5 liang, Chishaoyao (Red Peony Root) 0.5 liang, Gancao (Licorice Root, honey-fried) 1 fen, Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig, bark removed) 1 fen.
*Preparation:* Pound and sieve into fine powder. Take 2 qian per dose, mixed with boiling water. Take three times daily.
**Shengma Huangqin Tang (Primula and Scutellaria Decoction)** Treats pediatric Wind Strike with sweat, headache, fever, and aversion to cold. If epidemic rashes erupt slowly with irritability and insomnia, add Muxiang (Aucklandia Root) 1.5 qian.

*Note:* Liu's *Youyou Xinshu* adds Mutong (Akebia Caulis) 2.5 qian, naming it *Duoming San* (Life-Seizing Powder), which is the ancestral formula for rashes.
**Zicao Mutong Tang (Arnebia and Akebia Decoction)** Treats pediatric rashes.
*Ingredients:* Zicao (Arnebia Root, rhizome removed) equal parts, Mutong (Akebia Caulis) equal parts, Renshen (Ginseng Root) equal parts, Fuling (Poria) equal parts, Nuomi (Glutinous Rice) equal parts, Gancao (Licorice Root) half the amount of others.
*Preparation:* Cut into pieces the size of hemp seeds. Take 4 qian-bi per dose. Boil in 1.5 cups of water until 1 cup remains. Strain and take warm.
**Niuzi Tang (Burdock Seed Decoction)** Treats rashes/pox that desire to erupt but cannot penetrate, with hot skin, qi attacking the throat, red eyes, and irritability.
*Ingredients:* Niuzi (Burdock Fruit, stir-fried until fragrant) 4 liang, Gancao (Licorice Root) 1 liang, Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia Root) 0.5 liang, Jingjiesui (Schizonepeta Spike) 2 liang.
