大肠头脱出寸余,极度痛苦。若干燥则自行脱落,随后又脱出,此病名为截肠病(直肠脱垂)。如果肠道全部脱出,则无法治愈。但刚感觉要发生截肠时,用容器盛芝麻油坐浴浸泡,并饮用大麻子汁数升,即可痊愈。
治疗鼻中长出毛发,昼夜可长一至二寸,逐渐变粗圆如绳索,疼痛难忍,摘除后再生。这是由于食用猪羊血过多所致。取乳香(用灯草拌炒)、硼砂各一两,研为细末,制成梧桐子大小的蜜丸。每次空腹及睡前各服十丸,用滚开水送下,毛发自然退落。
庚生按语:这里的“砂”疑是“硼砂”之误。因为硼砂药性猛烈,能化血肉为水;即使是药店中伪充的盐,也性质猛烈。盐味苦,绝对不可能用到如此大的剂量,务必谨慎对待。
遍身突然长出肉刺如锥状,既痒且痛,不能饮食,此病名曰血壅(气血瘀滞)。若不迅速治疗必然溃烂。用鲜葱煎汤淋洗患处,再喝几盏豆豉汤,身体自安。
眼睛无法闭合,呼唤也不应答,但能正常饮食。取蒜三两,捣碎取汁,调酒服用,即可痊愈。
有虫子像螃蟹一样在皮下爬行,发出声音如同小儿啼哭,这是筋肉化生的虫。取雄黄、雷丸各一两,研为细末,撒在猪肉上,烤熟后吃尽,身体自安。
食盐发红,研磨后加入河水煮沸,饮用。通过探吐排出热痰数升,即可痊愈。
凡人自觉自己的形体变成两个人,并行同卧,无法分辨真假者,此为离魂病。取辰砂、人参、茯苓各等分,浓煎成汤,每日饮用,真身气色清爽,假身消散。另有倩女离魂汤,用人参、龙齿、赤茯苓各一钱,煎汤服用。
遍身皮肉内部,滚滚有声如波浪声,瘙痒难忍,抓挠出血,此谓气奔(气机逆乱奔突)。取苦杖(即甘草)、人参、青盐各二钱,细辛七分,水煎,缓缓饮尽即可痊愈。
The head of the large intestine protrudes more than one cun, causing extreme pain. If it dries out, it falls off naturally, but then protrudes again; this condition is named Jiechang Disease (Rectal Prolapse). If the entire intestine protrudes, it is incurable. However, at the initial stage when prolapse is felt, sit and soak in sesame oil contained in a vessel, and drink several sheng of hemp seed juice, which will lead to recovery.
To treat hair growing from the nose, lengthening by one or two cun day and night, gradually becoming thick and round like a rope, with unbearable pain, and regrowing after removal: This is caused by excessive consumption of pig and sheep blood. Take Rushang (Frankincense stir-fried with rush stem) and Pengsha (Borax) each one liang, grind into fine powder, and form pills the size of wu zi (seed of *Catalpa ovata*). Take ten pills each time on an empty stomach and before sleep, swallowed with boiling water, and the hair will naturally recede.
Geng Sheng's note: The "Sha" here is suspected to be a mistake for "Pengsha" (Borax). For Pengsha is fierce and potent, capable of dissolving flesh and blood into water; even the salt falsely passed off in pharmacies is fierce. Salt is bitter and absolutely cannot be used in such large quantities; caution is essential.
Sudden growth of cone-like fleshy protuberances all over the body, accompanied by itching and pain, inability to eat or drink, is named Xueyong (Blood Stagnation). If not treated promptly, it will inevitably ulcerate. Wash the affected areas with decoction of fresh green onions, and drink several cups of Douchi (Fermented Soybean) soup, and the body will settle.
Inability to close the eyes, unresponsive to calls, yet able to eat and drink normally: Take three liang of garlic, crush to extract juice, mix with wine, and drink, leading to recovery.
Worms resembling crabs crawling under the skin, making sounds like crying infants, are transformations of muscle and tendon. Take Xionghuang (Realgar) and Leiwuan (Pillwort Rhizome) each one liang, grind into powder, sprinkle on pork meat, roast until cooked, and consume entirely, resulting in relief.
Reddish salt, ground and boiled in river water, consumed orally. Inducing vomiting to expel several sheng of hot phlegm leads to recovery.
When a person feels their own body has split into two, walking and lying together, unable to distinguish true from false, this is called Lihun Disease (Soul Separation Disease). Take Chensha (Cinnabar), Renshen (Ginseng), and Fuling (Poria) in equal parts, decoct strongly, and drink daily; the true self gains vitality, while the false self dissipates. Alternatively, Qiannü Lihun Tang (Young Maiden Soul-Separating Decoction) uses Renshen (Ginseng), Longchi (Dragon Teeth), and Chi Fuling (Red Poria) each one qian, decocted in water and taken orally.
Rolling sounds like waves within the skin and flesh all over the body, unbearable itching, bleeding upon scratching, is termed Qiben (Qi Rushing Disorder). Take Ku Zhang (Licorice Root), Renshen (Ginseng), and Qingyan (Green Rock Salt) each two qian, and Xixin (Asarum) seven fen, decoct in water, and slowly drink until finished for recovery.
