自古以来，治疗疔疮的方法一直缺乏专门的著作。南宋南渡之后，虽有《救急仙方》等书记载了外科医生的技艺，对疔疮的论述非常详尽，可惜原本和作者的姓名都已失传。由于没有专门的著作，也就没有专门的专家。乡野村夫或旅途中的行人，在突发肉肿（此处指疔疮初起如肉之肿块）时，来不及请医生诊治，往往因误犯饮食禁忌而死亡；即使有能治疗的人，若不得其要领，虽然拥有明堂穴位的秘传知识，又怎能在一瞬间挽救危局呢？
吴门的张蓉亭先生在浙江游历时，从慈应氏处得到了一部抄本，后来又在别处得到了两种刻本。他参考比较了其中的异同，追溯其本源，发现这些方法都是按照经络循行来治疗的。于是删去繁杂的内容，保留简明的部分，将二者合为一书。前面列举了关键言论，为各个穴位绘制了总图，将治疗方法编成歌诀，并附上了膏药方剂，书名定为《治疔捷法》。
王缄三先生患有手指疔疮，张蓉亭先生为他治病，效果显著。王先生索要这本书，张先生并未保密。王先生用此书治疗他人，每每见效。随后他又增补考证了穴位疗法，希望将其交付刻印以广泛流传，并请求我为此书写序。
我向来不精通岐黄之术，曾经阅读《素问》等书籍，偶尔有疑问，便尝试疏通解释其义理。但我已退居乡里，生逢盛世（尧舜之世），施予救济的功劳往往让我感到惭愧流泪。这本书一旦问世，能使老人和儿童都免除痛苦折磨，比起《救急仙方》来，真正无愧色。这不仅是我个人的大幸，古人也不会再有被埋没的遗憾了。因此写下这篇序言。
光绪丙子年春二月，德清俞樾撰写。
Since ancient times, there has been no specialized book dedicated to the treatment of Ding sores (furuncles/carbuncles). After the Southern Song Dynasty moved south, although works like *Jiuji Xianfang* (Miraculous Prescriptions for Emergencies) recorded the techniques of surgeons and discussed Ding sores in great detail, the original texts and the authors' names have unfortunately been lost. Due to the lack of specialized books, there were no specialized experts. Commoners or travelers who suddenly developed flesh swellings (referring to early-stage Ding sores resembling flesh lumps) often died because they could not summon a doctor in time and mistakenly violated dietary taboos. Even if someone capable of treatment was available, without grasping the essential principles, how could one, despite possessing secret transmissions of the Mingtang acupoint charts, rescue patients from critical conditions in an instant?
Mr. Zhang Rongting from Wu Men obtained a manuscript copy from the Ci Ying family while traveling in Zhejiang. Later, he acquired two printed editions from other sources. He compared their differences and traced their origins, finding that all methods followed the meridians and collaterals. Thus, he deleted redundant content, simplified the material, and combined them into a single book. It begins with key statements, includes general diagrams illustrating each acupoint, organizes treatment methods into mnemonic verses, and appends ointment formulas. The book is titled *Zhi Ding Jiefa* (Quick Methods for Treating Ding Sores).
Mr. Wang Jiansan suffered from a finger Ding sore, which Mr. Zhang Rongting treated successfully. When Mr. Wang requested the book, Mr. Zhang did not keep it secret. Mr. Wang used this book to treat others with consistent efficacy. Subsequently, he added corrections and verifications regarding acupoint methods, wishing to have it printed for wider dissemination, and asked me to write a preface.
I have never been proficient in the art of Qi Bo and Huang Di (Traditional Chinese Medicine). Having read books such as *Suwen* (Basic Questions), I occasionally encountered doubts and attempted to elucidate their meanings. However, having retired to rural life, born in a prosperous age comparable to that of Yao and Shun, I often feel ashamed that my contributions to public welfare are insufficient. Once this book is published, it will enable children and the elderly to be spared from suffering and hardship. Compared to *Jiuji Xianfang*, it truly deserves its reputation. This is not only a great joy for me but also ensures that ancient wisdom will not remain obscured. Hence, this preface.
Written by Yu Yue of Deqing in the second month of spring in the Bingzi year of the Guangxu era.
