独啸庵游艺州也，专讲吐方。始学之者，为奥文叔，其次为惠美宁固。宁固亦与吉益东
洞
切古方，别为一家。其徒所着宁固医谈吐方私录，吐方摄要，斑斑可以征古方之盛焉。
净心诫观曰∶四百四种病，以宿食为根本；三涂八难，以女人为根本。又南海寄归传，
载断
食疗病。据之则食之一途，为病最伙，而吐之一法，祛病最为快捷方式矣。(拙轩曰∶百病饮食
为本。人唯与口谋而不与腹谋，故往往致灾。将食，问诸口曰可也，问诸腹曰未可也，乃止
品从腹，从而后下箸，此是养生第一义。上出广濑梅墩涂说，虽不关吐法，语甚有味。)
水气妨气道，喘急肿胀者，宜镇气道水气，越婢加术苓，木防己加苓，兼服石中黄丸为
佳。
食欲之害人，甚于色欲。而世人徒知色欲之害，不知食欲之害，悲夫。
小儿疳眼，大人雀目，皆因胃中宿毒，妨害精气之运用。小儿早断乳为饮食者，此证最
多。按其腹必满，故祛胃中之毒为要。
伤寒病胃实，与水结易混。而水结证有宜下剂者，有宜附剂者，舌胎脉候，当精思甄别
。
消渴有因霉毒潜伏者，不可不知。
因阏逢(方名)瞑眩而口中腐烂者，将严醋少少咽下为佳。若烦渴热者，白虎汤加黄连。
咽喉及口中痛者，甘连汤加大黄、枯梗。
天行热病，两手或舌上 动者为凶候。(此证有发痫卒厥而死者，不可忽视。)
病后发秃落者，贴蒲黄霜为佳。(拙轩曰∶此证反鼻霜麻油调涂患处亦佳。)
小便闭者，瓜蒌实二钱为散服效，此理可玩。
狂、喘、劳三病，皆属胎毒。毒攻心中者曰狂，攻骨HT 者曰劳，攻胸膈者曰喘，其根同
而枝叶异也。若狂愈而为劳者死。
大便闭与巴豆、大黄等不通者，他药中加木香效。(按三和散中木香即此意。)
渴有因水气者，有因热者，又有病将解而发渴者，可辨。
伤寒有自得吐者为佳兆，若不吐则为结胸，若欲吐不吐者，可与一物瓜蒂散。
动悸有因气血凝滞者。凡血气之所凝，皆为动悸，不止心下也。
喘家不可妄吐，苓桂术甘汤加苏子、杏仁佳。
发秃落宜苓桂术甘汤，雀目亦与之，盖此二证为同因，何则？水气凝滞于头中，毛发不
能为
之荣，故秃落，水气壅遏于上部，精华不能为之注，故晡时失明，其理一而方亦活。(拙轩
曰∶融解贯通，圆机活法。)
黄胖其因多属胃中不和。爪甲白剥者，胃气不足，气血不能达也。
一男子头并两手振掉不止，得之二三年，腹中和，饮食如故。余谓仲师所谓四肢聂聂之
类，与防己茯苓汤愈。
和胃汤本于芍药甘草汤，故任脉拘急者与之尤效。若不瘥者，为建中汤，盖此证疑似柴
胡汤。然柴胡专系心下，此方全涉腹中也。
山锡杖一名土山母，主瘀血痛，故能治产后手足疼痛。
小便闭，先与调胃承气汤加滑石为得。(按∶鸡峰方治大小便不通，烦乱，四肢渐冷，
无脉
，以大承气汤。此即通后窍而前窍自开者，此方即系前后双解，亦一手段。然施之于虚惫溺
闭者，恐生大害。金匮八味丸主治，宜参照耳。)
阴狐疝多难治，而葫芦巴丸能治之，予近得之于江都医人稻村三伯者。
治舌疳椰子油一味煮沸，以木绵浸之，色黄为度。将其绵贴疳上，以烧针熨其上。日二
，以
不堪其热为知。内服凉膈散加石膏，时时与豆黄丸下之。(拙轩曰∶此方奇甚，他日须试之
。烧针直刺疳上止腐蚀者，予亦屡用，十中可治三四。)
鼓胀、劳瘵、阴狐疝、膈噎、天刑、喘息、肺痿等，概属不治，故不敢下手。
反胃先与柴胡泻心汤、陷胸汤等，疏其胸腹，而后与吐剂，则全愈。
远年患腹痛者，吐之则愈，又安中散加姜黄、苍龙丸奏效。
漆酒治瘀血痛，其效胜于起废丸，又能治旧腹痛。中其肯綮者，必发吐下。
凡欲行吐方，先审其腹候。其心下坚实者，与泻心、陷胸、柴胡之类。制其胸腹之毒，
一二
月或三五月而与吐剂为得。不然，则吐方无效，且不堪瞑眩也。(土生昌有尝从宁固受吐法
。其说曰∶凡用吐剂，先与黄连解毒汤，六七日而后用之，诘朝啜热稀粥一碗，禁午食。
瓜蒂散六分，以豆豉汤送下，少顷为吐。吐了，又与瓜蒂散如前法。又吐了，更服盐汤一碗
吐之，又将拈纸探吐。凡吐四次，始药力达肯
綮而后徐徐进热稀粥一碗，又与黄连解毒汤六七日，或兼用滚痰丸。此吐法之大概也，宜参
用。)
心下有小块，或病毒妨气道，短气者，不可吐。
服峻下剂以平旦为是，前夕宜减晚餐，其明服之。若食谷在胃，则反发呕吐，无药效。
如微下法，则非此例也。
用瓜蒂散(瓜蒂三分，赤小豆三分。)亦以平旦为是。服毕将吐者，一人持其首，一人按
其章
门穴，以要快吐，吐时宜少俯首。其人呕气不止者，药力在中也，宜强吐之，或盐汤促之。
胸中烦闷者，必发吐也。若欲止者，与砂糖汤。若病不瘥者，又当与独圣散三分。(此机非
熟达者难施用。)凡服瓜蒂散后下利者，为吐已之候。又发渴者，及舌上发黄黑胎者，为毒
尽之征。吐后一日禁食饵，至翌日少与糜粥，不可遽食膏粱油腻，若犯之，滞食至死。
淋疾小便难通者，蚕砂二钱，滑石一钱，甘草五分，煎服顿愈。
老人患淋疾四五年不治，或至死者，是积年之毒，流注于膀胱也。其治在胸中，宜三黄
泻心汤，加阿胶、滑石，兼化毒丸。
淋疾先施对症方药，外以手巾浸热汤蒸腰眼八 边，又将阴茎插入竹筒中蘸之于热汤中
须臾
，欲小便时，以手摩擦小腹通之。(所谓泄闭术。)一蒸一擦互施之，下焦气运，小便分利。
不然，则虽服药无速效。
《千金》漏芦连翘汤，以芎 代漏芦效。大黄牡丹汤，亦以白芥子代瓜子，白芥子能散
血故也。(按《圣济总录》大黄牡丹汤，用消石、芥子，名大黄汤。与此说暗合。)
《外台》桔梗汤能治肺痈始萌者。虽证候未具，口有腥臭者，用之尤效。败酱或代葶苈
。
小儿阴狐疝者，水气着经络注阴囊者也，附子、茴香、甘遂之类，为末服之效。
小儿喜食HT 炭或壁土者，轻粉、砂糖，等分为末，糊丸服之，消疳饮紫圆亦效。
小儿 耳，独圣散点入于耳中，则黄水出，即令儿横卧，去其毒水。
哑者，系胎毒壅闭上部也。耳不聋者可治，聋者不治。
小儿初生，汤药不能下咽而溢鼻者，为恶证。
小儿惊风，角弓反张欲死者，红花、郁金等分为散，以新汲水送下得效。
生儿两手 动，如弄傀儡，脐下左边拘急者，与《千金》陷胸汤，兼用紫圆速效。凡毒
着胸中者，陷胸汤主之。
胡黄连能解胎毒，故古人往往用以治小儿五疳，今甘连汤加之特效。(此品本草云∶治
女人
胎蒸消果子积，亦可活用。橘宗仙院以此品一味为糊丸，治妇人恶阻不止者，亦奇验。)
妇人赤白带下，其病多根柢于心下。故与三黄泻心汤，加阿胶、滑石，兼用化毒丸。
凡不论男女，中年以上，肠胃生 癖，腹底如石者，及平生舌生黄黑者，若得新病。虽
轻浅
，荏苒廷日，治之有法，当先治其新病。若误攻其 癖，则反生大害。若新病瘥后，其症可
攻，则当治其痼疾。(仲师先治其卒病之旨，其说最着明。)
妇人前阴生虫者，与汞剂效。(此恐阴虱，俗擦以轻粉速愈。)
妇人阴门大肿者，龙胆泻肝汤效。
妇人经事不调，因饮食者，多下白浊污物宜审耳。
一妇人崩漏百余日，众工束手，余与茯苓四逆汤加浮石愈。
子痫世以为胎中子病，误也。此证多因催生水毒冲逆者也，故与瓜蒂散吐之则分娩，而
其证速愈，又与《千金》陷胸汤、熊参汤可。盖此证与产后痉病相似而大异。
妊娠恶阻，饮食不下，诸药无效者，宜桔白丸。(恐桔梗、白散为丸者。)
难产者，得小吐则愈，是升降气通故也。世医或用鹿角菜、云母，余概用瓜蒂。
一妇产后肿胀数日，气息促迫，喘满绝汗，小便不通，食不进，众医以为不治。余谓留
饮之所为，与甘遂半夏汤一服，淡水吐出，须臾泻下如倾，诸证渐愈。
一妇平生便秘，心下动悸，加之头热不堪风寒，耳前后生疙瘩。疮痒难忍，历三年而不
愈，与反鼻解毒汤、芎黄散安。
产后胞衣不下，气逆吐臭沫者，多死。
产后血晕，有属水气者，不可不知。
产后失心不省人事者，得吐则愈，又有宜附子泻心汤者。
膈噎壮年者可治，四十以上者必不治。
膈证心下结块，累累如拳者，为恶候，又舌上发紫色斑者同之。
人过强仕而发膈噎者，此年来宿毒凝结于胃中，渐上迫塞于喉间，胃中为之萎缩顽固，
按之
自心下至脐下，如抚竹筒也。此证误与吐剂，则不堪瞑眩速死。世所谓肺痿肺痈，间有属胃
口留饮者。今以吐剂涌之，脓血粘痰多出于食道，不可概为肺而治之。
鼠毒散漫周身者，必发热，宜刺委中、尺泽出血。
中砒石毒者，与白虎加黄连汤，饮冷水亦佳。
桔梗能内托疮肿，治咽喉痛，亦不过此意。此品生干尤效，水晒者无效。(本草称苦梗
者，恐是生梗。)
桦皮能排毒瓦斯，永田德本多用之，曲直濑道三亦使之。(桦说见本朝医谈青囊琐探未确
，宁
固单用桦皮近是。)(拙轩曰∶青洲翁荆防败毒散加桦皮，名十味败毒散，为诸疮套剂。盖本
此。)
仙人草专治口中病，故泻心、陷胸等方中加之妙。
胀满鼓胀，其发非一朝一夕之故。若病欲解，发大热，或发谵语者，为吉凶之界也。
胀满鼓胀绝谷者，与赤小豆、薤等间效。
五宝丹能治痿 ，不可不知。(世医以五宝丹为专治上部结毒之药，故有此言。)
舌疳难治，但痛者可救。
吐血下血色黑者不可止，鲜血者可止，灸命门捷效。
健忘属蓄血者，宜抵当丸。
头汗多，因胸中逼迫，故结胸类必有之。
香港脚冲心，与控喘(喘恐涎字之误。)丹效。
脱肛不愈者，食鳖顿愈。若愈后发咳嗽者，遂成劳状死。
张子和曰∶水病脉洪大者可治。余验之，洪大者，属实可治。若弦滑者，必有急变。
婴儿顿嗽，与左金丸愈，蝙蝠霜亦效。(蝙蝠霜名独圣散，片仓鹤陵用鼹鼠霜亦效云。)
一士人年三十许，项背强直，不能回顾，背肋牵痛，右胁下硬结如伏卵，扪之不堪痛楚，其
状如木偶，起居动止皆废，众医治之无效。余诊之曰∶他年肉食之所毒，不祛宿毒，则不能
愈。某曰实然，去年役于江户，屡食野猪尔，后发斯患，因以陷胸汤、桔梗白散吐下之，寻
与国木汤加土茯苓全愈。余常以土茯苓解肉毒，故加之。
小儿痘后，颜色萎黄，吐乳者，上焦郁毒未解也，与紫圆三丸，日三服愈。
救急易方以蜗牛水治消渴，余乃治消渴用蜗牛霜，反便捷奏效，因名三国散，取之于庄
子则阳篇也。
一夫得病二三年，头面及两手大战掉，胸腹无余证，饮食二便如常。此病在络者，古人
所谓四肢聂聂动也，宜防己茯苓汤。
霍乱不止夏月，四时共有之，小儿尤多，大抵理中汤主之。(按外台有冬月霍乱字，可
征焉。)
产后痿 为难治，初服乌头桂枝汤，寻用荆芥汤而已，或间服汞剂效。
一妇乳岩肿起颇难治，一夜梦友人来告曰∶宜当归生姜羊肉汤。余从其言用之，大托脓
血，因兼用于阏逢丸、梅肉丸等全愈。(羊肉吾邦乏用，今代用牛肉。)
水肿坚实肌表见紫黑色者属实也，宜发汗。一人年五十许患此证，余与麻黄加术汤发汗
，数日全愈。
水病急大汗出，或急泄利，或急肿减者，反为恶候，不出四五日死。又有医数下之，续
为大
下利。肿气急减而死者，盖治水气之法。譬之于倾满盆泥水，急倾之，则滓泥必着盆底，缓
淘以倾之，则水与泥滓同去。故与汗下之药要缓攻，若急攻之，则病去身毙，不可不慎焉。
仲师曰∶水病脉出者死。譬之于溺水者，有生气者必沉，既死者必浮。其元气衰者，
脉自浮
；元气不衰者，脉自沉微。故水病脉浮滑为凶，沉实为吉，圣训千古不磨也。腋臭及 耳有
脓者，皆属胎毒。
过酒后吐下或心下痛者，葛根黄芩黄连汤有效。(按∶《伤寒论》酒客病，不可与桂枝
汤条。柯琴注云∶仲景用方慎重如此，言外当知有葛芩连以解肌之法矣。偶与此符合。)
下后心下痞硬，不能食者，茯苓饮尤效。(按∶吴氏曰∶疫邪留于心胸，令人痞硬，下
之痞
应去。今反痞者，虚也。以其人或因他病先亏，或因新产后气血两虚，或禀赋娇怯，因下益
虚，失其健运，邪气留止，故令痞满。今愈下而痞益甚，若更用行气破气之剂，转成坏证，
宜参附益气汤，此与茯苓饮证相反者。若误投之，祸不旋踵。)
肺痈吐脓血，胸中痛者，与对证药兼服伯州散则愈。
雀目与苓桂术甘汤加车前子为佳。
缩砂投酒中，酒忽化为水，故能解酒毒，又并消食也。
中河豚鱼毒者，可以蓝汁吐之，染匠新制者最宜。凡中毒，吐药为佳，蓝汁即其一也。
独啸庵在游艺州行医时，专门讲授催吐方剂。最初向他学习的是奥文叔，其次是惠美宁固。宁固也与吉益东洞一起研究古方，自成一家。他的弟子所著的《宁固医谈》、《吐方私录》、《吐方摄要》等书中，关于催吐方的记载，充分证明了古方派的兴盛。
《净心诫观》说：“四百四种疾病，以宿食为根本；三涂八难，以女人为根本。”另外，《南海寄归传》中记载了断食疗法。据此看来，饮食这一途径致病最多，而催吐这一方法，祛除疾病最为快捷。（拙轩评论道：百病以饮食为本。人们只与口腹之欲谋划，而不与腹部健康谋划，所以往往导致灾祸。将要进食时，问一问口说可以，问一问腹说还不行，于是停止。选择适合腹部的食物，然后才下筷子，这是养生的第一要义。上述观点出自广濑梅墩的《涂说》，虽然不直接关乎催吐法，但话语很有意味。）
水气阻碍气道，出现气喘急促、肿胀的人，适宜镇压气道中的水气，使用越婢加术苓汤、木防己加苓汤，兼服石中黄丸为佳。
食欲对人的危害，比色欲更甚。然而世人只知道色欲的危害，却不知道食欲的危害，可悲啊。
小儿疳眼，大人雀目（夜盲症），都是因为胃中有宿毒，妨害了精气的运用。小儿过早断奶改为饮食者，这种病症最多。按压其腹部必然胀满，所以祛除胃中之毒是关键。
伤寒病中出现胃实症状，与水邪互结容易混淆。而水结证有适宜用泻下剂的，也有适宜用附子类温阳剂的，需要根据舌苔和脉象仔细思考甄别。
服用阏逢方后出现瞑眩反应（服药后的剧烈反应）导致口中腐烂的，将浓醋少量咽下为佳。如果伴有烦渴发热，使用白虎汤加黄连。咽喉及口中疼痛的，使用甘连汤加大黄、桔梗。
天行热病（流行性热病），两手或舌头上出现颤动的人是凶险征候。（此证有引发癫痫卒厥而死亡的，不可忽视。）
病后头发脱落者，贴敷蒲黄霜为佳。（拙轩评论道：此证反鼻霜用麻油调匀涂抹患处也很好。）
小便闭塞不通的，服用瓜蒌实二钱研成的散剂有效，其中的道理值得玩味。
狂、喘、劳三种病，都属于胎毒。毒邪攻冲心脏的叫狂，攻冲骨骼的叫劳，攻冲胸膈的叫喘，它们的根源相同而表现各异。如果狂病痊愈后转为劳病则死亡。
大便闭塞，服用巴豆、大黄等药物仍不通畅的，在其他药中加入木香有效。（按：三和散中用木香就是这个意思。）
口渴有因水气引起的，有因热引起的，又有病将要解除时发出口渴的，可以辨别。
伤寒病中自然呕吐的是佳兆，如果不呕吐则为结胸证，如果想吐又吐不出来的，可以给一物瓜蒂散。
动悸（心悸）有因气血凝滞引起的。凡是血气凝滞的地方，都会产生动悸，不仅仅在心下部位。
头发脱落宜用苓桂术甘汤，雀目也适用此方，因为这两种病症病因相同。为什么呢？水气凝滞在头部，毛发不能得到滋养，所以脱发；水气壅遏在上部，精华不能灌注，所以傍晚时分失明，其道理是一样的，方剂也可以灵活变通。（拙轩评论道：融会贯通，圆机活法。）
黄胖病的原因多属于胃中不和。指甲苍白剥落的，是胃气不足，气血不能到达所致。
一个男子头部和双手不停震颤，患病两三年，腹部平和，饮食如常。我认为这是仲景所说的四肢轻微颤动的情况，用防己茯苓汤治愈。
和胃汤源于芍药甘草汤，所以对于任脉拘急的患者尤其有效。如果不好转，则使用建中汤，因为这个证候疑似柴胡汤证。然而柴胡汤主要作用于心下，而这个方剂全涉及腹部。
小便闭塞，先给予调胃承气汤加滑石较为妥当。（按：《鸡峰方》治疗大小便不通，烦躁混乱，四肢逐渐冰冷，无脉，使用大承气汤。这就是通过后窍通畅使前窍自开的办法，这个方剂就是前后双解，也是一种手段。然而施用于虚惫导致尿闭的患者，恐怕会产生大害。《金匮要略》中的八味丸主治，应当参考。）
阴狐疝大多难治，而葫芦巴丸能治疗它，我最近从江都医生稻村三伯那里得到此方。
治疗舌疳，只用椰子油一味煮沸，用木棉浸透，颜色变黄为止。将棉花贴在疳疮上，用烧热的针熨烫其上。每天两次，以患者不能忍受热度为度。内服凉膈散加石膏，时时用豆黄丸导下。（拙轩评论道：此方非常奇特，日后必须尝试。烧针直刺疳疮处直到腐蚀掉，我也多次使用，十次可治三四次。）
鼓胀、劳瘵、阴狐疝、膈噎、天刑、喘息、肺痿等，一概属于不治之症，所以不敢轻易下手。
反胃先给予柴胡泻心汤、陷胸汤等，疏通其胸腹，然后再给予催吐剂，则可完全痊愈。
多年患腹痛的人，催吐则痊愈，或者使用安中散加姜黄、苍龙丸奏效。
漆酒治疗瘀血疼痛，其疗效胜过起废丸，又能治疗旧有的腹痛。击中要害者，必定会引发呕吐和腹泻。
凡是要施行催吐方剂，先审查其腹部状况。如果心下坚实，给予泻心汤、陷胸汤、柴胡汤之类。制约胸腹之毒，过一二个月或三五月后再给予催吐剂为宜。否则，催吐方无效，且患者难以承受瞑眩反应。（土生昌曾向宁固学习催吐法。他说：凡是用催吐剂，先给黄连解毒汤，六七天后再用，第二天早晨喝一碗热稀粥，禁止中午进食。瓜蒂散六分，用豆豉汤送服，一会儿就吐了。吐完后，又按前述方法给瓜蒂散。再吐完，再服一碗盐汤催吐，再用纸捻探喉催吐。凡吐四次，药力才达到要害，然后慢慢进一碗热稀粥，再给黄连解毒汤六七天，或者兼用滚痰丸。这是催吐法的大概流程，应当参考采用。）
服用峻下剂应当在清晨进行，前一天晚上宜减少晚餐，次日清晨服用。如果胃中有食物，反而会引发呕吐，没有药效。如果是微下法，则不属于这种情况。
使用瓜蒂散（瓜蒂三分，赤小豆三分）也应当在清晨进行。服用完毕即将呕吐时，一人按住其头部，一人按压其章门穴，以求快速催吐，呕吐时宜稍微低头。如果其人呕气不止，说明药力在中焦，应当强行催吐，或者用盐汤促进。胸中烦闷的，必定会呕吐。如果想停止催吐，给予砂糖汤。如果病不好转，又当给予独圣散三分。（此机理非熟练通达者难以施用。）凡服用瓜蒂散后出现下利的，是呕吐已过的征候。又出现口渴，以及舌上出现黄黑苔的，是毒素排尽的标志。呕吐后一天禁食，到第二天少量给予糜粥，不可立即食用膏粱油腻之物，如果违反，会导致食积致死。
老人患淋疾四五年不愈，甚至至死的，是积年的毒素，流注于膀胱。治疗在于胸中，宜用三黄泻心汤，加阿胶、滑石，兼服化毒丸。
淋疾先施对症方药，外用毛巾浸热汤蒸腰眼周围，又将阴茎插入竹筒中蘸于热汤中片刻，想小便时，用手摩擦小腹疏通。（所谓泄闭术。）一蒸一擦交替使用，下焦气运通畅，小便分利。否则，虽服药也无速效。
《千金》漏芦连翘汤，用川芎代替漏芦有效。大黄牡丹汤，也用白芥子代替瓜子，因为白芥子能散血。（按：《圣济总录》大黄牡丹汤，用消石、芥子，名叫大黄汤。与此说法暗合。）
《外台》桔梗汤能治疗肺痈初起者。虽然证候尚未具备，但口中有腥臭味的，使用尤为有效。败酱草或可代替葶苈子。
小儿阴狐疝，是水气附着经络流入阴囊所致，附子、茴香、甘遂之类，研末服用有效。
小儿喜欢吃炭灰或墙壁泥土的，轻粉、砂糖，等分为末，糊丸服用，消疳饮紫圆也有效。
小儿耳疮，独圣散点入耳中，则黄水流出，立即让患儿横卧，去除毒水。
哑巴，是因为胎毒壅闭上部所致。耳朵不聋的可以治，聋了的治不了。
小儿初生，汤药不能下咽而溢出鼻孔的，为恶证。
小儿惊风，角弓反张欲死的，红花、郁金等分为散，用新汲水送下得效。
新生儿双手颤动，如弄傀儡，脐下左边拘急的，给予《千金》陷胸汤，兼用紫圆速效。凡毒邪附着胸中的，陷胸汤主治。
胡黄连能解胎毒，所以古人往往用它治疗小儿五疳，现在甘连汤加入此药特效。（此品本草记载：治疗女人胎蒸消果子积，也可活用。橘宗仙院以此品一味制成糊丸，治疗妇人恶阻不止者，也有奇效。）
妇人赤白带下，其病根多在于心下。所以给予三黄泻心汤，加阿胶、滑石，兼服化毒丸。
凡不论男女，中年以上，肠胃生出癖块，腹底硬如石头，以及平生舌上生黄黑苔的，如果得了新病。即使轻浅，拖延时日，治疗有法，应当先治其新病。如果错误地攻伐其癖块，反而会产生大害。如果新病痊愈后，其症可攻，则应当治其痼疾。（仲景先治其卒病的宗旨，说得最明确。）
妇人前阴生虫的，给予汞剂有效。（这恐怕是阴虱，俗法用轻粉擦拭速愈。）
妇人月经不调，因饮食引起的，多有下白浊污物的情况，应当审察。
一个妇人崩漏百余日，众医束手无策，我给予茯苓四逆汤加浮石治愈。
子痫世人以为是胎中子病，是错误的。此证多因催生水毒冲逆所致，所以给予瓜蒂散催吐则分娩，而其证迅速痊愈，又可用《千金》陷胸汤、熊参汤。（盖此证与产后痉病相似而大异。）
妊娠恶阻，饮食不下，诸药无效的，宜用桔白丸。（恐怕是桔梗、白散为丸者。）
难产者，得小吐则愈，是升降气机通畅的缘故。世医或用鹿角菜、云母，我一概用瓜蒂。
一个妇人产后肿胀数日，气息促迫，喘满绝汗，小便不通，食不进，众医认为不治。我认为这是留饮所致，给予甘遂半夏汤一服，淡水吐出，须臾泻下如倾，诸证渐愈。
一个妇人平生便秘，心下动悸，加之头热不堪风寒，耳前后生疙瘩。疮痒难忍，历时三年不愈，给予反鼻解毒汤、芎黄散安愈。
膈噎壮年者可治，四十岁以上者必不治。
膈证心下结块，累累如拳头的，为恶候，舌上发紫色斑的也是同样。
人过了强仕之年（四十岁）而发膈噎的，这是近年来宿毒凝结于胃中，渐渐上迫塞于喉间，胃中为之萎缩顽固，按压从心下至脐下，如抚竹筒一般。此证误给催吐剂，则难以承受瞑眩反应而速死。世所谓肺痿肺痈，间有属于胃中留饮的。现在用催吐剂涌出，脓血粘痰多出于食道，不可一概作为肺病来治。
桔梗能内托疮肿，治咽喉痛，也不过是这个意思。此品生干尤效，水晒者无效。（本草称苦梗者，恐怕是生梗。）
桦皮能排毒瓦斯，永田德本多用之，曲直濑道三也使用。（桦皮的学说见《本朝医谈青囊琐探》未确，宁固单用桦皮近是。）（拙轩评论道：青洲翁荆防败毒散加桦皮，名叫十味败毒散，为诸疮套剂。大概基于此。）
仙人草专治口中病，所以在泻心、陷胸等方中加入很妙。
胀满鼓胀，其发作非一朝一夕之故。如果病欲解，发大热，或发谵语的，为吉凶之界。
五宝丹能治疗痿痹，不可不知道。（世医以五宝丹为专治上部结毒之药，所以有此言。）
舌疳难治，但痛的可以救。
吐血下血色黑的不可止，鲜血的可以止，灸命门捷效。
健忘属蓄血的，宜用抵当丸。
张子和说：水病脉洪大的可治。我验证过，洪大的，属实可治。如果弦滑的，必有急变。
婴儿顿嗽，给予左金丸愈，蝙蝠霜也有效。（蝙蝠霜名独圣散，片仓鹤陵用鼹鼠霜也有效云。）
一个士人年三十许，项背强直，不能回顾，背肋牵痛，右胁下硬结如伏卵，摸之不堪痛楚，其状如木偶，起居动止皆废，众医治之无效。我诊之曰：他年肉食之所毒，不祛宿毒，则不能愈。某人说确实，去年役于江户，屡食野猪，后发斯患，因以陷胸汤、桔梗白散吐下之，随后给予国木汤加土茯苓全愈。我常用土茯苓解肉毒，所以加上。
小儿痘后，颜色萎黄，吐乳的，上焦郁毒未解也，给予紫圆三丸，日三服愈。
救急易方以蜗牛水治消渴，我乃治消渴用蜗牛霜，反而便捷奏效，因此名叫三国散，取之于庄子则阳篇也。
一个男人得病二三年，头面及两手大战抖，胸腹无余证，饮食二便如常。此病在络者，古人所谓四肢聂聂动也，宜用防己茯苓汤。
霍乱不止于夏月，四时共有之，小儿尤多，大抵理中汤主之。（按：《外台》有冬月霍乱字样，可证明焉。）
产后痿痹为难治，初服乌头桂枝汤，随后用荆芥汤而已，或间服汞剂有效。
一个妇人乳岩肿起颇难治，一夜梦友人来告曰：宜当归生姜羊肉汤。我听从其言用之，大托脓血，因而兼用阏逢丸、梅肉丸等全愈。（羊肉我国缺乏使用，今代用牛肉。）
水肿坚实肌表见紫黑色者属实也，宜发汗。一人年五十许患此证，我给予麻黄加术汤发汗，数日全愈。
水病急大汗出，或急泄利，或急肿减的，反为恶候，不出四五日死。又有医数下之，续为大下利。肿气急减而死的，盖治水气之法。譬之于倾满盆泥水，急倾之，则滓泥必着盆底，缓淘以倾之，则水与泥滓同去。故与汗下之药要缓攻，若急攻之，则病去身毙，不可不慎焉。
仲师说：水病脉出者死。譬之于溺水者，有生气者必沉，既死者必浮。其元气衰者，脉自浮；元气不衰者，脉自沉微。故水病脉浮滑为凶，沉实为吉，圣训千古不磨也。腋臭及耳有脓者，皆属胎毒。
过酒后吐下或心下痛者，葛根黄芩黄连汤有效。（按：《伤寒论》酒客病，不可与桂枝汤条。柯琴注云：仲景用方慎重如此，言外当知有葛芩连以解肌之法矣。偶与此符合。）
下后心下痞硬，不能食者，茯苓饮尤效。（按：吴氏曰：疫邪留于心胸，令人痞硬，下之痞应去。今反痞者，虚也。以其人或因他病先亏，或因新产后气血两虚，或禀赋娇怯，因下益虚，失其健运，邪气留止，故令痞满。今愈下而痞益甚，若更用行气破气之剂，转成坏证，宜参附益气汤，此与茯苓饮证相反者。若误投之，祸不旋踵。）
Duxiao'an practiced medicine in Youyi Zhou, specializing in teaching emetic formulas. His initial students were Aowenshu, followed by Huimeininggu. Ninggu also studied ancient formulas alongside Jiyi Dongdong, establishing his own school. His disciples' works, such as *Ninggu Yitan*, *Tufang Silu*, and *Tufang Shuyao*, contain numerous records of emetic methods, demonstrating the prosperity of the ancient formula school.
*Jingxin Jieguan* states: "Among four hundred and four types of diseases, retained food is the root; among the Three Evil Paths and Eight Difficulties, women are the root." Additionally, *Nanhai Jigui Zhuan* records dietary fasting therapies. Based on this, diet is a major source of disease, while emesis is the most rapid method for eliminating disease. (Zhuoxuan commented: Hundred diseases stem from diet. People plan only with their mouths, not their bellies, often leading to disaster. Before eating, ask the mouth if it is acceptable, ask the belly if it is not yet ready, and then stop. Choosing foods suitable for the belly before eating is the first principle of health preservation. This view comes from Guangsi Meidun's *Tushuo*; although not directly related to emesis, the words are meaningful.)
For those with water qi obstructing the airway, presenting with panting, urgency, and swelling, it is appropriate to suppress the water qi in the airway using Yuebi Jia Zhu Ling Tang or Mufangji Jia Ling Tang, combined with Shizhonghuang Wan.
The harm of appetite is greater than that of sexual desire. Yet people only know the harm of sexual desire, ignoring the harm of appetite, which is tragic.
Pediatric gan eye disease and adult nyctalopia (night blindness) are caused by retained toxins in the stomach hindering the circulation of essence and qi. This condition is most common in children who are weaned early into solid food. Palpation of the abdomen will reveal fullness, so removing gastric toxins is key.
In typhoid diseases presenting with gastric excess, differentiation from water retention can be confusing. Water retention cases may require purgatives or aconite-based warming agents; careful consideration of tongue coating and pulse is necessary.
Xiaoke (wasting-thirst) may be caused by latent syphilis, which must not be overlooked.
If oral ulceration occurs due to mingxuan reaction after taking Yanfeng Formula, swallowing strong vinegar drop by drop is advisable. If accompanied by irritability, thirst, and heat, Baihu Tang plus Coptidis Rhizoma (Huanglian) should be used. For pain in the throat and mouth, Ganlian Tang plus Rheum Radix et Rhizoma (Dahuang) and Platycodon Root (Jiegeng) is indicated.
In epidemic febrile diseases, tremors in the hands or on the tongue are ominous signs. (This condition can lead to epilepsy or sudden collapse and death, so it cannot be ignored.)
Hair loss after illness is best treated with applying Puhuang Frost. (Zhuoxuan commented: Applying Fanbi Frost mixed with sesame oil to the affected area is also good for this condition.)
Urinary retention responds well to two qian of dried Gualou Fruit (Trichosanthis Fructus) taken as a powder; the underlying principle is worth pondering.
Kuang (mania), Chuan (asthma/wheezing), and Lao (consumption/deficiency exhaustion) all belong to fetal toxins. Toxin attacking the heart causes Kuang; attacking bones causes Lao; attacking the chest and diaphragm causes Chuan. Their roots are the same, but manifestations differ. If Kuang heals but transforms into Lao, death ensues.
For constipation unresponsive to Croton Seed (Badou) or Rhubarb (Dahuang), adding Aucklandiae Radix (Muxiang) to other prescriptions is effective. (Note: The use of Muxiang in Sanhe San reflects this idea.)
Thirst may arise from water qi, heat, or the resolution phase of an illness; these can be distinguished.
In typhoid disease, spontaneous vomiting is a favorable sign. If no vomiting occurs, it may become Jie Xiong (chest binding); if there is an urge to vomit but inability to do so, Yiwu Gudi San may be given.
Dongji (palpitations) can be caused by blood and qi stagnation. Stagnation of blood and qi anywhere can cause palpitations, not just below the heart.
Patients with chronic asthma should not be induced to vomit arbitrarily; Linggui Zhugan Tang plus Perillae Fructus (Suzi) and Apricot Kernel (Xingren) is advisable.
Linggui Zhugan Tang is suitable for hair loss and nyctalopia, as both conditions share the same etiology. Why? Water qi stagnating in the head prevents nourishment of hair follicles, causing hair loss; water qi obstructing the upper body prevents essence from reaching the eyes, causing evening blindness. The principle is the same, so the formula can be applied flexibly. (Zhuoxuan commented: Integrate thoroughly and apply flexible methods.)
Huangpang (yellow puffy syndrome) is mostly due to stomach disharmony. Pale, peeling nails indicate insufficient stomach qi and failure of blood and qi to reach the extremities.
A man suffered from continuous trembling of the head and both hands for two or three years, with a peaceful abdomen and normal diet. I considered this similar to Zhongjing's description of slight tremors in the four limbs and cured him with Fangji Fuling Tang.
Hewei Tang originates from Shaoyao Gancao Tang, making it particularly effective for spasm of the Ren Mai. If ineffective, Jianzhong Tang should be used, as this condition resembles Chaihu Tang syndrome. However, Chaihu Tang focuses on the epigastrium, whereas this formula addresses the entire abdomen.
Shan Xizhang, also known as Tushanmu, treats blood stasis pain, thus curing postpartum limb pain.
For urinary retention, giving Tiaowei Chengqi Tang plus Talcum (Huashi) initially is appropriate. (Note: *Jifeng Fang* uses Dachengqi Tang for severe urinary/fecal obstruction with cold limbs and absent pulse, opening the posterior orifice to open the anterior one. This formula achieves dual relief. However, using it for deficiency-type urinary retention may cause great harm. Reference *Jinkui Yaolue*'s Bawei Wan.)
Yinhu Hernia is difficult to treat, but Huluba Wan can cure it. I obtained this prescription recently from Dao Cun Sanbo, a physician in Jiangdu.
To treat Shegan (tongue gangrene), boil Coconut Oil alone, soak cotton wool in it until yellow, apply to the lesion, and moxa with a heated needle twice daily, stopping when heat becomes unbearable. Internally, take Liangge San plus Gypsum, and periodically administer Douhuang Wan to purge. (Zhuoxuan commented: This is a unique prescription; I will try it later. I have also used heated needles to cauterize the lesion directly, curing 3-4 out of 10 cases.)
Guzhang (drum-like distension), Laozai (consumption), Yinhu Hernia, Ge Ye (dysphagia), Tianxing, Chunxi, and Fei Wei (lung atrophy) are generally incurable, so I dare not intervene.
For Fanwei (regurgitation/vomiting), first use Chaihu Xiexin Tang or Xiongtang Tang to clear the chest and abdomen, then administer an emetic for complete recovery.
Chronic abdominal pain lasting many years can be cured by emesis, or by Anzhong San plus Curcuma Longa (Jianghuang) and Canglong Wan.
Qijiu (lacquer wine) treats blood stasis pain more effectively than Qifei Wan and also treats old abdominal pain. When hitting the target, it inevitably induces vomiting and purging.
Before administering emetics, always examine the abdomen. If the epigastrium is firm, use Xiexin Tang, Xiongtang Tang, or Chaihu Tang variants to control chest/abdominal toxicity for one to five months before attempting emesis. Otherwise, emesis will fail and cause unbearable mingxuan reactions. (Tusheng Chang learned emesis from Ninggu: First give Huanglian Jiedu Tang for six to seven days, then take Gudi San (6 fen) with Fermented Soybean Decoction next morning after drinking hot rice gruel and skipping lunch. Repeat emesis with salt water and paper probe up to four times until the drug reaches the core. Then resume hot gruel and Huanglian Jiedu Tang for several days, possibly adding Guntan Wan. This is the general procedure.)
Do not induce vomiting if there is a small mass below the heart, viral obstruction of the airway, or shortness of breath.
Strong purgatives should be taken at dawn; reduce dinner the night before. If food remains in the stomach, vomiting will occur, negating efficacy. This does not apply to mild purgation.
Gudi San (Gudi 3 parts, Adzuki Bean 3 parts) should also be taken at dawn. As vomiting approaches, one person holds the head, another presses Zhangmen Acupoint to hasten vomiting; the patient should bow slightly. If retching persists, the drug is in the middle jiao; force vomiting or use salt water. Chest oppression indicates impending vomiting. To stop, give sugar water. If unresolved, give Dusheng San (3 fen). (Only skilled practitioners should use this.) Diarrhea after Gudi San indicates successful vomiting. Thirst and black/yellow tongue coating indicate toxin expulsion. Fast for one day post-emesis, then introduce soft porridge. Avoid rich/greasy food to prevent fatal food stagnation.
For Lin Ji (strangury) with difficult urination, boil Can Sha (Silkworm Frass) 2 qian, Huashi 1 qian, and Gancao 5 fen; drink once for immediate cure.
Elderly patients with chronic strangury (4-5 years) dying from accumulated toxins flowing into the bladder should be treated via the chest with Sanhuang Xiexin Tang plus Ejiao and Huashi, combined with Huduan Wan.
For strangury, first apply symptomatic treatment. Externally, steam the lumbar region with a hot towel, insert the penis into a bamboo tube dipped in hot water, and massage the lower abdomen when urination is desired. (This is called Xie Bi technique.) Alternating steaming and rubbing promotes lower jiao qi movement and urination. Without this, drugs act slowly.
In *Qianjin*, Loulu Lianqiao Tang, substituting Chuanxiong for Loulu, is effective. Dahuang Mudan Tang substitutes White Mustard Seed (Baijiezhi) for Melon Seed because White Mustard Seed disperses blood. (Note: *Shengji Zonglu* Dahuang Mudan Tang uses Xiaoshi and Jiezi, named Dahuang Tang, aligning with this view.)
*Waitai* Jiegeng Tang treats early-stage Fei Yong (lung abscess). Even without full symptoms, if there is foul breath, it is highly effective. Baijiang Cao can replace Tingli Zi.
Pediatric Yinhu Hernia is water qi adhering to meridians and flowing into the scrotum. Powdered Fuzi, Huixiang, and Kansui is effective.
Children craving charcoal or wall dirt should be given Qingfen and Sugar powder equal parts, formed into pills with paste. Xiaogan Yin Ziyuan is also effective.
For pediatric ear discharge, apply Dusheng San to the ear canal to drain yellow fluid. Lay the child horizontally to remove toxic fluid.
Mutism is caused by fetal toxin obstructing the upper jiao. It is curable if hearing is intact; deaf muteness is incurable.
Newborns unable to swallow medicine, causing overflow from the nose, present a malignant prognosis.
For pediatric convulsions with opisthotonos approaching death, Honghua and Yujin powder equal parts, taken with fresh well water, is effective.
Newborns with hand tremors like puppets and left-sided hypogastric tension should receive *Qianjin* Xiongtang Tang combined with Ziyuan for rapid effect. Xiongtang Tang treats toxins attaching to the chest.
Huhuanglian resolves fetal toxins, hence its traditional use for pediatric Wugan. Adding it to Ganlian Tang yields special effects. (*Bencao* notes it treats female fetal heat and fruit accumulation. Juzong Xianyuan used it alone as a pill for persistent morning sickness with miraculous results.)
Female leukorrhea (red and white discharge) often stems from the epigastrium. Treat with Sanhuang Xiexin Tang plus Ejiao and Huashi, combined with Huduan Wan.
For men and women over middle age with intestinal masses (hard as stone) or permanent yellow/black tongue coating, if a new acute illness arises, treat the new illness first. Attacking the chronic mass prematurely causes harm. After the new illness resolves, treat the chronic condition. (Zhongjing's principle of treating acute illness first is clear.)
Vaginal parasites respond to mercury preparations. (Likely pubic lice; topical Qingfen cures quickly.)
Severe vulvar swelling responds to Longdan Xiegan Tang.
Menstrual irregularities caused by diet often involve passing white turbid matter; investigate carefully.
A woman with metrorrhagia for over 100 days, unresponsive to other doctors, was cured by Fuling Sini Tang plus Fusui.
Zixian (eclampsia) is mistakenly thought to be a fetal disease. It is often caused by toxic water from delivery agents rushing upward. Inducing vomiting with Gudi San facilitates delivery and rapid recovery. *Qianjin* Xiongtang Tang and Xiongshen Tang are also applicable. This differs significantly from postpartum tetany.
For pregnancy nausea/vomiting where food cannot stay down and other drugs fail, Jiebai Wan is indicated. (Likely made from Jiegeng and Baisan.)
Difficult labor resolves with mild emesis, restoring ascending-descending qi flow. While some doctors use Deer Antler Vegetable or Cloud Mother, I exclusively use Gudi.
A woman with postpartum edema, shortness of breath, wheezing, sweating, urinary retention, and anorexia was deemed incurable. Diagnosing retained fluid, I gave Gansui Banxia Tang. One dose expelled watery fluid and caused profuse diarrhea, resolving all symptoms.
A woman with lifelong constipation, epigastric palpitations, heat intolerance, and itchy nodules behind ears for three years was cured with Fanbi Jiedu Tang and Xionghuang San.
Postpartum retention of the placenta with qi rebellion and vomiting of foul foam is usually fatal.
Postpartum blood fainting may be caused by water qi; do not overlook this.
Postpartum mental confusion/unconsciousness resolves with emesis; Fuzi Xiexin Tang is also indicated.
Ge Ye (dysphagia) is curable in young adults but incurable after age forty.
Ge syndrome with epigastric masses resembling fists or purple spots on the tongue is ominous.
Ge Ye in men over forty results from accumulated toxins condensing in the stomach, compressing the throat, causing gastric atrophy. Palpation from epigastrium to umbilicus feels like a bamboo tube. Incorrect emesis causes fatal mingxuan reactions. Some cases diagnosed as Fei Wei or Fei Yong are actually gastric retained fluid. Emesis expels pus/blood/phlegm through the esophagus; do not treat solely as lung disease.
Generalized rat poison toxicity presents with fever; bleed Weizhong and Chize acupoints.
Arsenic poisoning is treated with Baihu Tang plus Huanglian; drinking cold water is also beneficial.
Jiegeng supports internal drainage of sores and treats sore throat. Dried raw form is effective; sun-dried is not. (*Bencao* calls it Kugeng, likely referring to raw stem.)
Birch bark detoxifies gases; Yongtian Demben and Qu Naisai Daosang used it frequently. (Ninggu's single-use of birch bark is closer to truth. Zhuoxuan noted: Qingzhou's Jingfang Baidu San plus Birch Bark is Ten-Ingredient Baidu San, a standard formula for sores, based on this.)
Xianren Cao specifically treats oral diseases; adding it to Xiexin or Xiongtang formulas is excellent.
Distension/Guzhang develops gradually. Sudden high fever or delirium during resolution marks a critical turning point.
Distension/Guzhang with anorexia responds intermittently to Red Bean and Scallion.
Wubao Dan treats Wei Bi (flaccidity); do not ignore it. (Doctors believe it treats upper jiao clustered toxins.)
Shegan is hard to treat but curable if painful.
Black blood in hematemesis/hematochezia should not be stopped; bright red blood can be stopped. Moxibustion at Mingmen is rapidly effective.
Amnesia due to blood stasis requires Didang Wan.
Excessive head sweating is caused by chest pressure; thus, it is common in Jie Xiong patterns.
Hongjiao (beriberi) attacking the heart responds to Kongchuan Dan.
Prolapsed rectum cures instantly after eating turtle; however, subsequent cough leads to consumption and death.
Zihehe stated: Edema with surging pulse is curable. I verified that surging pulse indicates excess and is curable; wiry/slippery pulse indicates sudden change.
Infant spasmodic cough cures with Zuojin Wan; Bat Frost is also effective. (Bat Frost is Dusheng San; Piancang Heling found Vole Frost effective.)
A 30-year-old scholar had stiff neck/back, inability to turn head, back/rib pain, and a hard lump under right rib like an egg, immobile like a puppet. Doctors failed. I diagnosed meat-toxin retention. He admitted eating wild boar in Edo last year. I treated with Xiongtang Tang and Jiegeng Baisan to purge, followed by Guomu Tang plus Tufuling for full recovery. I added Tufuling for meat toxin.
Post-measles pallor and vomiting in infants indicate unresolved upper jiao toxin. Ziyuan (3 pills, 3 times daily) cures.
Jiuyi Yifang uses Snail Water for Xiaoke. I used Snail Frost, finding it faster and more effective, naming it Sanguo San (after Zhuangzi's Ze Yang chapter).
A man with 2-3 year history of severe head/hand tremors, normal abdomen/diet/stool/urine, has pathology in collaterals (Zhongjing's limb tremors). Fangji Fuling Tang is indicated.
Huluan occurs in all seasons, especially in children; Lizhong Tang is primary. (*Waitai* mentions winter huluan.)
Postpartum Wei Bi is hard to treat. Start with Wutou Guizhi Tang, then Jingjie Tang, or intermittent mercury salts.
Breast cancer (Ruyan) is hard to treat. After dreaming of advice to use Danggui Shengyang Roushou Tang, I used it to expel pus/blood, combined with Yanfeng Wan and Plum Meat Wan for cure. (Beef substitutes mutton locally.)
Edema with firm skin and purple-black discoloration is excess; induce sweating. A 50-year-old man cured with Mahuang Jia Zhu Tang in a few days.
Sudden heavy sweating, diarrhea, or rapid reduction of edema in water disease are ominous, leading to death within 4-5 days. Aggressive purging worsens diarrhea. Rapid edema reduction indicates death. Treating water qi is like pouring muddy water: quick pouring leaves mud; slow pouring removes both. Sweat/purge drugs must attack gently; aggressive attack kills the patient despite curing the disease.
Zhongjing said: Water disease with floating pulse indicates death. Like drowning: living sinks, dead floats. Deficient yuan qi floats; robust yuan qi sinks. Thus, floating/slippery pulse is ominous; deep/solid pulse is auspicious. This eternal wisdom applies. Axillary odor and suppurative ears belong to fetal toxins.
Post-alcohol vomiting/pain responds to Gegen Huangqin Huanglian Tang. (Note: *Shanghan Lun* warns against Guizhi Tang for wine drinkers; Ke Qin noted this implies Gegen Huangqin Huanglian for muscle-layer resolution.)
Epigastric hardness/anorexia after purging responds best to Fuling Yin. (Note: Wu Shi explained that lingering pathogen causes hardness; purging should resolve it. Persistent hardness indicates deficiency from prior illness, postpartum state, or weak constitution. Further purging worsens it. Use Shenfu Yiqi Tang instead of Qi-moving drugs to avoid bad transformation. Opposite to Fuling Yin indication.)
Fei Yong with pus/blood hematemesis and chest pain cures with symptomatic drugs plus Bozhou San.
Nyctalopia responds best to Linggui Zhugan Tang plus Plantago Seed (Cheqianzi).
Amomum fruit thrown into wine turns it to water, thus resolving alcohol toxin and aiding digestion.
Pufferfish poisoning is treated by inducing vomiting with Indigofera juice (freshly made by dyers is best). Vomiting is the best antidote for poisoning; Indigo is one option.
