从政郎陈扑是富沙人，他的母亲高氏六十多岁，患了一种叫“饥疾”的病。每次发作时，感觉像有虫子在啃咬心脏，于是急忙索要食物，吃完后症状才缓解。这种情况持续了三四年。
她养了一只猫，非常喜爱它，常把猫放在身边。猫一叫，她就取鱼肉拌饭喂猫。有一天，猫正好叫了，她让人去取鹿肉干，自己嚼着吃来喂猫，如此反复多次。她觉得喉咙间有一物上触，伸手探入取出，发现那东西拇指大小，掉在地上，头尖底扁，形状像塌沙鱼（一种鲨鱼），身体像虾壳，长八寸，渐渐大如两指，中间充实。剖开后，肠肚也与鱼相同，里面有八个胎儿，胎生，蠕蠕而动，像小泥鳅。人们都不知道这是什么东西，大概是闻到鹿脯的香味而出来的。高氏的病随即痊愈。（出自《类编》）
《千金论》说：凡是小儿患有魃病，是因为孕妇被恶神引导至腹中，致使婴儿患病。魃是小鬼。这种病的证候是轻微腹泻、寒热往来、毫毛鬓发枯槁不润泽。适宜服用龙胆汤。凡是妇人先前已有幼儿尚不能行走，后来母亲又怀孕，让该幼儿饮用此母乳，也会患上魃病，表现为面色黄瘦、骨立、脱发、壮热。（出自《保生方》）
赵先生字子固，他的母亲刘氏年近八十岁。左脚脚面有一个疮，向下连到大脚趾，向上延伸至外踝直至腨骨（小腿肚）。每年发作数次，每次发作必定持续十天到一个月。黄昏时瘙痒剧烈，抓挠许久出血如泉涌，呻吟痛苦几乎难以忍受。半夜时分症状逐渐减轻，第二天又复发。每次用药治疗，疮反而更大更严重，百试不灵，这样二十多年了。淳熙甲辰年冬末，赵先生担任太府丞。一天夜里，母亲病情大作，他对着母亲悲泣无计可施，极度困倦便睡去。梦见四位神僧默坐在一间屋子里，旁边有一张长榻，赵先生也坐下，因而叹息。一位僧人问其原因，赵先生如实回答。僧人说可以服用牛黄金虎丹。另一位僧人说朱砂也好。醒来后颇感惊异，试着取药半粒强行服下。过了很久，腹部剧烈疼痛，全家都后悔了。不久，排出数升如铁石般的物体。当晚疮只是微痒不痛且不出血，几天后结痂，从此痊愈。关于朱砂的说法最终没有再尝试。赵先生因此绘制了梦中僧人的画像并记录了这件事。金虎丹方原本出自《和剂局方》，用于治疗中风痰涎壅塞，所用药物如牛黄、龙脑、腻粉、金箔等都不适合老年人服用。如今取其奇效，意在此疾积热于脏腑而发于皮肤，日久根深，不易荡涤，故借用凉剂以攻之，不可以普通疮疡论治。神僧之梦大概是因真诚孝心所感召。（出自《百一选方》）
Chen Pu, a Congzheng Lang (Official Rank), was from Fusha. His mother, Gao Shi, was over sixty years old and suffered from a disease called "Hunger Disease" (Ji Ji). Whenever it occurred, she felt as if insects were biting her heart, prompting her to urgently demand food; only after eating would the symptoms subside. This persisted for three or four years.
She kept a cat, which she loved dearly, often placing it beside her. When the cat meowed, she would take fish and meat mixed with rice to feed it. One day, the cat happened to meow. She ordered someone to fetch dried deer meat, chewed it herself, and fed it to the cat repeatedly. She felt an object touching her throat from above. Reaching in, she extracted it. It was about the size of a thumb, fell to the ground, with a pointed head and flat base, resembling a shark (Tasha Yu) with a body like a shrimp shell. It was eight cun long, gradually enlarging to the thickness of two fingers, and solid inside. Upon dissection, its intestines and stomach resembled those of a fish, containing eight fetuses that were viviparous, wriggling like small loaches. No one could identify what it was; it was likely attracted by the scent of the dried deer meat. Gao Shi's illness was immediately cured. (From *Leibian*)
*Qianjin Lun* states: Any child suffering from "Ba Disease" (Ha Bing) is afflicted because an evil spirit has entered the womb during pregnancy, causing the infant to become ill. "Ba" refers to a little ghost. The clinical manifestations include mild diarrhea, alternating chills and fever, and brittle, lusterless hair and eyebrows. The appropriate treatment is Longdan Tang (Gentian Decoction). If a woman previously had a young child who could not yet walk, and later becomes pregnant, allowing that older child to nurse on her milk will also cause Ba Disease, presenting with sallow emaciation, skeletal appearance, hair loss, and high fever. (From *Baosheng Fang*)
Mr. Zhao, courtesy name Zigù, had a mother named Liu Shi, nearly eighty years old. She had a sore on the dorsum of her left foot, extending downwards to the big toe and upwards to the lateral malleolus and calf muscle (Shan Gu). It recurred several times a year, each episode lasting ten days to a month. In the evening, the itching was severe; scratching for a long time caused bleeding like a spring. She groaned in pain, barely endurable. By midnight, the symptoms would gradually subside, only to recur the next day. Every medicinal treatment made the sore larger and more severe, failing all attempts for over twenty years.
In late winter of the Jiachen year of the Chunxi era, Mr. Zhao served as Taifu Cheng (Vice Minister of the Treasury). One night, his mother's condition worsened drastically. He wept helplessly before her. Exhausted, he fell asleep and dreamed of four divine monks sitting silently in a room. There was a long couch nearby, and Mr. Zhao sat down, sighing. One monk asked the reason. Mr. Zhao answered truthfully. The monk said, "You may use Niuhuang Jinhu Dan (Cattle Gallstone Golden Tiger Pill)." Another monk said, "Cinnabar is also good."
Upon waking, he was startled but tried taking half a pill forcibly. After a while, his abdomen hurt severely, and the whole family regretted it. Soon, he expelled several sheng (a unit of volume) of iron-stone-like objects. That night, the sore was only slightly itchy, painless, and bled no blood. It scabbed over within a few days and healed completely thereafter. The suggestion regarding Cinnabar was never tested again. Mr. Zhao then drew portraits of the monks as seen in his dream and recorded the event.
The Jinhu Dan formula originally appeared in *Heji Ju Fang* (Prescriptions from the Bureau of Prescribed Medicine), used for treating stroke with phlegm-saliva obstruction. Ingredients such as Niu Huang (Bovis Calculus), Long Nao (Borneolum Syntheticum), Ni Fen (Calomelas), and Jin Bo (Gold Leaf) are generally unsuitable for the elderly. However, its miraculous efficacy here suggests that this disease involves accumulated heat in the zang-fu organs manifesting on the skin. Having persisted for years with deep roots, it is difficult to clear; thus, a cooling agent was borrowed to attack it. It cannot be treated as a common sore. The dream of the divine monks was likely moved by sincere filial piety. (From *Baiyi Xuanfang*)
