临海的许秀山是一位平民百姓,名叫保,喜欢种植花卉,尤其喜爱兰花和菊花,种植的品种多达上百种。每当花开时节,五色缤纷,我的先父常常向他索要花种,因此他写了一副对联赠送给我父亲:“吃淡饭,穿粗衣,家人团圆终年快乐;伴幽兰,对佳菊,花枝烂漫满庭芬芳。”他又为许秀山的《琴鹤图》题诗道:“世俗之人不可交往,陪伴身边的只有鹤与琴;山间空旷凉月皎洁,古亭之下绿荫深沉;双翼拥有仙风傲骨,七根琴弦皆含大道之心;隐居生活满足真正的欣赏,长久以此洗涤尘世的胸怀。”
许秀山精通医术,为人诊治疾病不计较报酬。他曾传授给我秘方,我试用后都有效,现附录于此以济世救人。治疗头风(头部慢性疼痛),使用头风膏药,加入少许草乌末,贴敷患处。治疗牙痛,用北细辛五钱,薄荷五钱,樟脑一钱五分,放入铜锅中,上面覆盖一个小碗,用纸糊泥密封勿漏气,用微火熏蒸,使药气上升至小碗中,取出涂抹于疼痛处。治疗刀伤久不愈合溃烂,用糯米在清明前开始,每天换一次水,浸泡至谷雨节气后晒干,研成粉末外敷。治疗火烧烫伤方,将鸡蛋煮熟,去掉蛋白只取蛋黄,猪油去掉筋膜,这两味药等量混合,捣匀涂抹患处。
(炳章)按语:治疗牙痛的方子,对于虫牙痛最为有效,风火牙痛也可以治疗;如果是虚火上炎导致的牙痛,表现为牙根浮长,外部肌肉不肿胀,外涂此方无效,适宜使用玉女煎。
单方中神效验方的,可以作为世间的珍宝。我家传承有几个方子,屡试屡效,救助了很多人,担心时间久了失传,特意记录下来。松香若干,放入釜中,加水,用慢火煮,以烧完一柱香的时间为限度,取出松香(取出松香需放入冷水中,才能凝结,否则胶滞粘连),换水再煮,如此更换八次水,煮八柱香的时间,松香的毒性才完全去除,研成极细的粉末,加入猪油捣烂调匀,用纸膏摊制。方法是用长长的薄油纸,折成两个框,一面凿满针孔,一面摊药,将两面合拢,药折在里面,以有针孔的一面朝向患处粘贴,用线缠绕固定,不要沾水,有油脂流出即可自愈。一切疥疮:用槟榔、木鳖子、穿山甲、血余炭、雄黄、朱砂、黑砒、大风子肉各二钱五分,研成极细粉末,加入土硫黄七两五钱,煮化制成锭剂,用菜油磨碎搽擦,每日三次。牙缝出血:名为牙红,用元明粉研细末掺入患处。一切无名肿毒:用鲜桑枝在患处熏烤。小儿头部溃烂:名为染头(一种头皮感染),用铜青一钱,沥青一钱,松香一钱,蓖麻子肉四钱,一同捣烂,用一块布,大小如染头面积,摊药包裹患处。跌打损伤,用冬瓜子炒后研成细末,温酒冲服三钱,每日二次。
Xu Xiushan, a commoner from Linhai named Bao, enjoyed cultivating flowers, particularly orchids and chrysanthemums. He grew over a hundred varieties. When they bloomed, the colors were vibrant and diverse. My late father often asked him for seeds, so Xu wrote a couplet to present to my father: "Eating plain rice, wearing coarse clothes, with family reunited in joy throughout the year; Accompanied by quiet orchids, facing fine chrysanthemums, flower branches brilliant filling the courtyard with fragrance." He also inscribed a poem on Xu's painting "Qin and Crane": "Vulgar people are not suitable companions; only cranes and qins accompany me. The mountain is empty with bright cool moonlight; the ancient pavilion has deep green shade. Its wings possess immortal bones; its seven strings all contain the heart of the Dao. Secluded living satisfies true appreciation; thus long cleansing the dusty襟 (chest/mind)."
Xu was proficient in medicine and treated patients without regard for remuneration. He once passed on secret formulas to me, which I tested with success. I append them here to benefit the world. For treating Toufeng (chronic headache), use Toufeng plaster, add a small amount of Caowu powder, and apply it. For treating toothache, use 5 qian of Beixixin (Radix Asari), 5 qian of Bohe (Herba Menthae), and 1.5 qian of Zhangnao (Borneolum Syntheticum). Place them in a copper pot, cover with a small bowl, seal tightly with paper paste and mud to prevent air leakage, and fumigate gently over warm fire until the medicinal vapor rises into the small bowl. Take out and apply to the painful area. For treating chronic non-healing ulcers from knife wounds, take glutinous rice before Qingming Festival, change water daily, soak until Guyu solar term, then dry in the sun, grind into powder, and apply externally. For treating burns, boil eggs, remove whites and keep yolks; remove membranes from lard. Mix these two ingredients in equal parts, pound evenly, and smear on the affected area.
(Bingzhang) Note: This formula for toothache is most effective for dental caries pain and can also treat wind-fire toothache. However, for toothache caused by deficiency fire flaming upward, characterized by floating and elongated tooth roots without external swelling, external application is ineffective; Yunnv Decoction (Jade Woman Decoction) is appropriate.
Among single-ingredient or simple formulas, those that are miraculously effective can be treasures for the world. My family possesses several inherited formulas that have repeatedly proven effective, saving many people. Fearing they might be lost to time, I record them specifically. [For] Pine resin (Songxiang), place in a cauldron with water, boil slowly over low heat until one stick of incense has burned out. Remove the pine resin (it must be placed in cold water to solidify, otherwise it remains sticky); change water and boil again. Repeat this process of changing water eight times, boiling for the duration of eight sticks of incense, until the toxicity of the pine resin is completely eliminated. Grind into extremely fine powder, mix with lard pounded until smooth, and spread onto paper plasters. The method involves folding long thin oil-paper into two frames; punch holes in one side, spread the medicine on the other, join the two sides enclosing the medicine inside, and paste the perforated side against the lesion. Bind with thread, keep dry, and allow exuded oil to heal naturally. For all types of scabies: Use 2.5 qian each of Binglang (Arecae Semen), Mubiezi (Semen Strychnos), Chuanshanjia (Scuta Manis), Xueyu (Colla Corii Corii), Xionghuang (Realgar), Zhusha (Cinnabaris), Heipi (Arsenicum Nigrum), and Dafengzirou (Semen Jatrophae). Grind into extremely fine powder, add 7.5 liang of Tuliuhuang (Sulfur), melt together to form pills/ingots, grind with rapeseed oil, and apply three times daily. For bleeding gums, known as Yahong: Apply finely ground Yuanmingfen (Natrii Sulfas) to the area. For all unknown swellings and toxins: Smoke the affected area with fresh Sangzhi (Ramulus Mori). For infantile scalp ulceration, known as Ran Tou: Use 1 qian Tongqing (Malachite), 1 qing Liqing (Bitumen), 1 qian Songxiang (Resina Pini), and 4 qian Bimazirou (Endocarpus Ricini). Pound together thoroughly. Spread the medicine on a piece of cloth sized to cover the lesion, and wrap the affected area. For traumatic injuries: Stir-fry Dongguazi (Semen Benincasae), grind into fine powder, take 3 qian mixed with warm wine, twice daily.
(Bingzhang) Note: Processing pine resin eight times treats damp sores. In *Yizong Jinjian* (Golden Mirror of Medicine) under Surgical Diseases, there is a method for nine-processed Pine Resin Plaster, adding green onion during processing, which is also suitable...
