目膜瞒，状如蛇类，以盐淹干示人。
戴人之仆，常与邻人同病伤寒，俱至六、七日，下之不通，邻人已死。仆发热极，
投于井中。捞出，以汲水贮之，槛使坐其中。适戴人游他方，家人偶记戴人治法。曰∶伤
寒三下不通，不可再攻，盒饭涌之。试服瓜蒂散，良久，吐胶涎三碗许，与宿食相杂在地
，状如一帚，顿快。乃知世医杀人多矣。戴人之女僮，亦尝吐，一吏伤寒，吐讫，使服太白散、甘露散以调之。
戴人之次子，自出妻之后，日瘦，语如瓮中。此病在中也。常拈第三指失笑，此
心火也。约半载，日饮冰雪，更服凉剂。戴人曰∶恶雪则愈矣。其母惧其大寒。戴人骂曰∶
汝亲也，吾用药如鼓之应桴，尚恶凉药，宜乎世俗之谤我也。至七月，厌冰不饮，病日解矣。
安喜赵君玉，目暴赤肿，点洗不退。偶思戴人语曰∶凡病在上者皆宜吐。乃以茶
调散涌之。一涌，赤肿消散。君玉叹曰∶法之妙，其迅如此。乃知法不远，人自远法也。
酒官杨仲臣，患有心气痛。此人平时喜爱饮酒，刚开始喝三、两杯时，必定要奔走，导致双腿跛行懒怠，重复三、五十次，待酒劲稍散后，才能重新回到宴席。饮至平时的酒量，一旦醉酒必定呕吐五、七次，直到第二天吐出青黄色的水，数日后身体散发出鱼腥般的恶臭，经过六、七天才能恢复安宁。张从正（戴人）说：适宜采用涌吐法。于是患者吐出一条虫子，呈赤黄色，长六、七寸，口、眼、鼻俱全，双眼蒙着膜，形状像蛇类，用盐腌制干后展示给人看。
张从正的仆人，曾与邻居一同患上伤寒，都到了第六、七天，使用泻下法后大便仍不通畅，邻居已经死亡。仆人发热极重，被投入井中。捞出后，用井水盛在容器中，让仆人坐在其中降温。恰逢张从正游历其他地方，家人偶然想起张从正的治疗法则，说道：伤寒经过三次泻下仍不通畅，不可再次攻下，应当采用涌吐法。尝试服用瓜蒂散，过了很久，吐出胶状涎液约三碗，与积存的食物混杂在地上，形状像一把扫帚，顿时感到轻松畅快。这才知道世间庸医害死的人太多了。张从正的女儿僮仆，也曾经历吐法；一位官吏患伤寒，吐完后，让他服用太白散、甘露散来调理身体。
张从正的次子，自休弃妻子之后，日渐消瘦，说话声音像在瓮中一样沉闷。这是病位在中焦。常按压第三指（中冲穴），这是心火所致。大约半年时间，每日饮用冰雪，并服用凉性药剂。张从正说：厌恶冰雪就会痊愈了。他的母亲害怕药性过于寒凉。张从正骂道：你是我的亲人，我用药如同鼓槌敲击鼓面那样应验迅速，尚且厌恶凉药，难怪世俗之人诽谤我。到了七月，不再厌恶冰饮，病情日渐缓解。
安喜人赵君玉，眼睛突然红肿，点眼药和清洗均不退散。偶然想起张从正的话说：凡是病位在上的都适宜采用涌吐法。于是用茶调散进行涌吐。一次涌吐后，红肿消散。赵君玉感叹道：治疗方法的奇妙，竟然如此迅速。才知道治法并不遥远，是人自己远离了治法。
Yang Zhongchen, an official in charge of wine, suffered from heart qi pain (pain due to dysfunction of Heart Qi). This person often enjoyed drinking alcohol. Initially, after drinking three or two cups, he would necessarily run about, causing his legs to become lame and lethargic; repeating this thirty to fifty times, until the alcohol effect dissipated slightly, could he return to the banquet. When drinking up to his usual amount, once drunk, he would vomit five or seven times, until dawn vomiting green and yellow water; several days later, his body emitted a fishy, foul odor, and it took six or seven days to recover. Zhang Congzheng (Dai Ren) said: "It is suitable to induce vomiting." He then vomited out one worm, which was red-yellow in color, six or seven inches long, with mouth, eyes, and nose all intact, its eyes covered by a membrane, resembling a snake. It was dried with salt and shown to people.
Zhang Congzheng's servant had contracted Taiyang disease (Exterior syndrome caused by pathogenic factors invading the Taiyang channel) along with a neighbor. Both reached the sixth or seventh day, and after purgation, bowel movements remained unobstructed; the neighbor died. The servant had extreme fever and was thrown into a well. After being pulled out, he was placed sitting in a container filled with well water for cooling. At that time, Zhang Congzheng was traveling elsewhere. His family members accidentally recalled Zhang Congzheng's treatment principle, saying: "For Taiyang disease where purgation has failed three times without relief, do not attack again with purgatives; instead, induce vomiting." They tried giving Gudi San (Melon Seed Powder), and after a long while, he vomited approximately three bowls of gelatinous saliva mixed with retained food on the ground, resembling a broom head. He instantly felt relieved. Thus, they realized that many physicians in the world kill patients. Zhang Congzheng's daughter-servant also experienced vomiting; a clerk suffering from Taiyang disease, after vomiting, was given Taibai San (White Tiger Powder) and Ganlu San (Sweet Dew Powder) to regulate his condition.
Zhang Congzheng's second son, after divorcing his wife, became thinner day by day, and his speech sounded muffled as if inside a jar. This disease resides in the Middle Jiao (Middle Burner). Pressing the third finger (Zhongchong, PC9) indicated Heart Fire (Hyperactivity of Heart Fire). For about half a year, he drank ice and snow daily and took cold-natured prescriptions. Zhang Congzheng said: "He will be cured when he loathes snow." His mother feared the excessive cold nature. Zhang Congzheng scolded her: "You are my relative. My use of medicine is as responsive as a drumstick striking a drum. If you still detest cold medicines, it is no wonder the世俗 (worldly/common) people slander me." By July, he lost his aversion to ice drinks, and the illness gradually resolved.
Zhao Junyu from Anxi suffered from sudden redness and swelling of the eyes, which did not recede with eye drops or washing. He suddenly remembered Zhang Congzheng's words: "All diseases located in the upper part should be treated by inducing vomiting." He used Chatiao San (Tea Regulation Powder) to induce vomiting. After one induction of vomiting, the redness and swelling dissipated. Junyu sighed: "The efficacy of this method is so rapid." He realized that the methods are not far away; it is people who distance themselves from the methods.
