针出黄胶水，此为痰瘤。插入降条，提出坚核。大凡瘤，皮有红丝缠绕，即是血瘤。若
用刀针，则血流不止而死。若按瘤棉软，或大或小，乃是气瘤。误用刀针，真气立散而
危。有种筋瘤，其筋似蚯蚓蟠结形，不禁刀针，易使筋缩难伸。惟骨瘤、肉瘤，初起可

愈。
一孩痧疹，热盛熏烂肺叶，每张口有臭蛋气触人，治亦无效。（若大人口有臭蛋气之

吴茱萸、肉桂、干姜、木香、乌药、陈皮（研成粉末，用温热的陈酒送服三钱，立即痊愈。）
另一位年轻妇女，每次怀孕到三个月时就会流产。中医认为三月由心脉养胎，心属火主血，胎儿依靠血液滋养，胎儿禀受木火之体，又处于心这个火脏之中，胎脉两火交并，灼伤血液耗损津液，导致胎元干枯涩滞，五脏难以维系胎儿，因此流产，就像瓜系在藤上，藤枯则瓜落。使用清营顺胎方，在容易流产的月份前一个月开始，每隔两三天服用一帖，服过五月和七月时期后停止。因为胎儿多在单月流产，单数为阳，属火。如果是体质虚弱导致的胎陨，应当补益气血。
生地黄、当归、白芍、枳壳、黄芩、麦冬、栀子、玄参、知母、川柏，或者加黄连。
一位老妇人小便点滴难下，疼痛如刀刺，小腹坠胀，这是龙雷之火与湿热结于小肠所致，应当泻肝热、利湿邪，服用十几帖后完全康复。

一个人手腕长出三个坚硬的核，大小如棋子，因恼怒伤肝，气分郁结，痰凝络脉所致，用燔针烙烫流出黄胶水，这属于痰瘤。插入降条，提出坚硬的核心。大凡瘤，如果皮肤有红丝缠绕，就是血瘤。如果用刀针切割，会血流不止而死。如果触摸瘤体棉软，或大或小，乃是气瘤。误用刀针，真气立刻散失而危及生命。有一种筋瘤，其筋似蚯蚓盘结形状，不禁刀针，容易使筋缩难以伸展。只有骨瘤、肉瘤，初起可以用火针，插进降条，化尽其根部可以痊愈。至于已经肿大如桃李大小的，决不可动刀针害人。
一位老人背部疽症漫肿，疮头无数，虽然流出脓水，但年老气血虚弱，非补托不可，服用十全大补汤十帖，根脚消退而疮反而高起，用刀剪开，流去脓血，调理八十天始痊愈。（凡是老人背疽即使痊愈，不出三五年大多死亡。）
一位老人生了搭背（对口疮），僵硬如盘，疼痛难耐，先捣碎蒜头铺在患处，加上艾绒灸之，使血脉温通，转为阳证，内服阳八味丸加黄芪、党参，扶助正气，三天后用火针烙烫，随即插入药捻，又过了三天，硬块全部化腐逐渐脱落，一百天后伤口才完全愈合。
一个人在夏天足底生了疔疮，误食猪肉，立刻出现走黄（毒散），毒素由腿蔓延至肋部，数处肿胀如注痰块，大小不等，疼痛难忍。按照治疔的方法，一天疼痛停止。切不可当作痰块治疗，用火针会立刻导致危险。待脓熟后用刀切开，约一个多月才痊愈。
一个女孩出生时无肛门，先用药线穿挂肛上皮，四天吊豁，随后用披刀挑破肛门的正门，外用细木尖长约一寸，裹以薄棉，插入刀口，三天使皮肉不得重新连接，从而成为完全的人。
一个孩子出生后，舌下的筋与下牙床相连，不能活动，用剪刀剪断舌下正筋处为止，用药止血，随即痊愈。
一个少年夏天，常赤身将背部倚靠在冰冷的石墙上，贪图清凉舒适，岂不知阴冷凝涩经脉，不久觉得背部酸痛，日益加重，治疗无效，拖延半年后去世。
一个儿童周身生长骨瘤，坚硬贴骨，大小不一，肌肉日渐消瘦，这是由于母亲肾虚，与骨肉至亲苟合，胎儿感受其气而成，长期服用肾气汤，自然消除。
熟地黄、菟丝子、山茱萸、破故纸、枸杞子、当归、昆布、海带、淮牛膝、乳香、覆盆子、陈皮。
一位妇女气郁不舒，导致左侧乳房结核三枚，如棋子大小，病程仅一个月，下方用火针，随即插入降条，每隔六日一次，数次后将核团化尽而止。此症宜早治。如果肿块大如桃李，或溃流血水及翻花状，都不可治愈。
一个人膝盖漫肿，疼痛难当，饮食不进，外敷捣碎的社花根扎好，两天换一次，内服温经燥湿药，一个月完全康复。
一位老妪腿部生痰块，起初感觉隐痛，二十多天后高肿疼痛剧烈，腿胖如尸体，形容日渐消瘦，用火针烙烫，全然不知疼痛，这是脾败肉死寻亡之兆。
一个少年面色浮黄，神气虚弱，背部及乳旁有痰块，漫肿光亮，胀痛至极，针刺流出黄水，这是脾虚湿泛，到了两个月快要收口时，忽然浑身浮肿，疮口迸裂，随后死亡。
一个人病后，浮火熏肺，导致声音嘶哑难以言语，投予六味汤很快痊愈。
一位妇女耳下起初隐痛，逐渐肿大，经治疗后肿胀虽退，但牙关仍紧，拖延已两个月，颐下有一个孔流脓，这是骨槽风的脓毒，结成多骨，抵拒牙关，用刀刺入牙床后尽头处，插入少许降丹，闭口半天不要进食，以免药毒入喉伤人，提出多骨，于是痊愈。
一位老妪牙关不能张开，牙床有一个深孔流出臭水，饮食不入，最终是不治之症。
一位妇女产后血虚生风，身体瘙痒搔起白屑，头发脱落眼睛昏花，给予祛风润燥凉血丸，半年后病愈如失。
一个人肚脐肿烂，时常流出黄水，这是肠胃湿热从脐而出，内服清利湿热药，外掺黄提丹，渐渐消肿水干而痊愈。
一位妇女面色黄瘦，每见生米，口中即流涎水，吃到嘴里才痛快。这是脾虚湿盛，化热生虫，给予乌梅、楝子、鹤虱、贯仲、槐角、雷丸、芜荑、川连、槟榔、花椒，用黄土煎汤煨药，十剂后无恙。
一个女孩瘦弱不堪，常吃臭抹布及臭污泥。这是腹内有虫窠，给予杀虫药，十数帖后除根。
一个人病后遗毒，牙关胀硬，牙龈臭烂，时常流出赤黑水，不进饮食，投药无效而亡。
一个人起居如常，时常喜欢吃金铁、土石物，毫无阻碍，这是肝胃火旺极生虫，所以能磨比坚刚之物，以大青叶煎饮二十天，专清肝火乃痊愈。
一个人因连续日夜赌博大输，致相火上沸，扰乱心宫，将舌头咬去一截，尚不自知，遂投降火安心药而痊愈。
一个人自六岁生痰块，背上至臀部破溃十八处，时常流出黄水不绝，拖延至三十岁未愈，形色虽败，饮食尚可，大约是起初多进凉药，冰凝肌肉，所以治疗也无效。
一位寡妇心怀不遂，郁火上蒸，使舌根生数孔，时常流出臭味，称之为重舌，治疗数年总无功。
一个人牙关初肿闭，他医令其食荤腥发物，则风热被荤味助火滞毒，肿硬愈甚，牙关永紧，只进稀粥，成骨槽风锢疾，终身不治。
一个人手中指生疔，食猪肉饮酒，走黄，毒重，肿痛已三年不稍退。先令饮洋参、桂圆汤一碗，固其元气，随即用快刀将患指根节笋处剁去，刀口掺止血药，即浸手冷水内，后来提尽余毒，一个月完全康复。
一个人因动怒，使肺气阻闭，汤水难入，起初作喉风治疗，无效。我用舒肝理气药（苏梗、佩兰、枳壳、沉香、玫瑰花、郁金、香附、木香、佛手），四帖随即平复。
一个人被火药炸伤，将头面并两手轰烧，皮肤欲腐，兼起水泡，随即用生军末，调老桐油敷，外贴皮纸，过二日一换，一个月完全痊愈。
一个人患休息痢，二十余年，先投培补正气药六剂，继进大承气汤三帖，攻其老积，遂下血团一个（此积滞为血所搏，藏于大肠隐曲处，每有触动则发，屡发屡止），后调补月余乃痊愈。
一个儿童环跳穴生疽，因多服凉药，致肌肉冰凝成漏，时常消清脓，一足已跛，终成不治。
一位妇女内踝骨生疽，形如剥鳝，腐流臭水（人身湿多下注），掺胜湿丹，须外扎紧，则药方不从水淌去，后来遂获痊愈。
一个人生左足发背，烂开臭腐极痛，足背至下之处，难于升发，收口甚迟，掺胜湿丹，扎紧，隔四日一次，五十天奏功。
一位妇女手足遍生紫疙瘩，疼痛或溃黄水，名紫癜风。这是湿热留于血分而然。用刀砭去毒血，外将老桐油调清凉散敷之，内进凉血渗湿药，随手取效。
一个儿童上牙床缝中，常流臭脓，此为牙漏。用银条探试，奈何其漏上通于鼻，无法可施矣。
一个人内眼角成漏，以探条试之通外，先插陈降条，化去管，次将利剪豁开，上生肌药，贴膏药一月完全。若通眼内，决不可治。

One person had an area three cun long and one cun wide on the center of their back, suffering from unbearable itching. They had to scratch and scrape it daily until the skin broke and bled to feel relief; this condition is named "Baijiao Feng" (Hundred-Foot Wind). The physician used tung oil and calcined alkali, beaten and melted together, formed into a shape matching the length and width of the affected area, with a hollow groove in the center. The side with the bottom was placed against the patient's skin, then boiling sesame oil was poured into the hollow groove to apply heat therapy. The treatment continued until the pain became unbearable, after which it stopped. After three sessions, the patient recovered.
A young woman suffered from continuous abdominal pain due to cold pathogenic factors and phlegm-dampness lingering in the Three Yin meridians. Frequent administration of warming, unblocking, and qi-regulating herbs was ineffective. A modified prescription was used:
Evodia Fruit (Wuzhuyu), Cinnamon Bark (Rougui), Dried Ginger (Ganjiang), Costus Root (Muxiang), Lindera Root (Wuyao), Tangerine Peel (Chenpi) (ground into powder, taken with warm aged wine, 3 qian, cured immediately.)
Another young woman experienced miscarriage every time she reached the third month of pregnancy. In TCM, at three months, the Heart meridian nourishes the fetus. The Heart belongs to Fire and governs Blood; the fetus relies on blood for nourishment. The fetus inherits a Wood-Fire constitution and resides in the Heart, the Fire organ. The fetal pulse and the Heart's fire merge, scorching the blood and consuming fluids, causing the fetal root to become dry and stagnant, making it difficult for the Five Zang organs to sustain the fetus, leading to miscarriage. This is like a melon hanging from a vine; when the vine withers, the melon falls. Using the Qingying Shuntai Decoction (Clear Nutrient and Smooth Fetus Decoction), administered starting one month before the prone miscarriage period, one dose every two or three days, stopping after passing the fifth and seventh months. This is because miscarriages often occur in odd-numbered months; odd numbers are Yang and belong to Fire. If the miscarriage is due to deficiency, Qi and Blood should be tonified.
Rehmannia Root (Shengdi), Angelica Sinensis (Danggui), White Peony Root (Baishao), Bitter Orange (Zhike), Scutellaria Root (Huangqin), Ophiopogon Tuber (Maidong), Gardenia Fruit (Zhizi), Rehmannia Prepared Root (Yuanshen), Anemarrhena Rhizome (Zhimu), Phellodendron Bark (Chuanbai), or add Coptis Rhizome (Chuanlian).
An elderly woman suffered from difficulty urinating, with only drops coming out, pain like knife stabbing, and a bearing-down sensation in the lower abdomen. This was caused by Dragon-Lei Fire (internal hyperactive fire) binding with damp-heat in the Small Intestine. It was necessary to drain Liver heat and promote diuresis to eliminate dampness. After more than ten doses, she fully recovered.
Gentian Root (Longdancao), Picrorhiza Rhizome (Huhuanglian), Aloe (Lvhui), Talcum (Huashi), Gardenia Fruit (Zhizi), Moutan Cortex (Danpi), Scutellaria Root (Pianqin), Sophora Root (Kushen), Alisma Rhizome (Zexie), Tetrapanax Pith (Tongcao), Dianthus Flower (Qumai), Plantago Seed (Cheqianzi), with Amber Powder (Hupo xie) as a guiding herb.
An elderly man had damp-heat accumulating in the Large Intestine, which over time transformed into tapeworms (Cunbai Chong), causing unbearable itching. A deworming method was used: four doses taken early in the morning to eradicate the root cause.
Quince Seed (Shijunzi), Walnut Seed (Wuyi), Polyporus (Leiwu), Chinaberry Seed (Lianzi), Pagoda Tree Pod (Huaijiao), Chinese Holly Root (Guanzhong), Nematode Herb (Heshi), Phellodendron Bark (Chuanbai), Plum (Wumei), with Yellow Earth (Huangtu, 1 liang) as a guiding herb.
An elderly man was thin and small. Upon occasional pulse diagnosis, his pulse was completely absent. He claimed to have been born without a pulse and had never been ill in his life. This is a rare phenomenon in the world, recorded here to broaden the horizons of the medical community.
An elderly woman who usually suffered from bleeding suddenly vomited a basin full of blood due to labor. Various treatments were ineffective. Later, using a Descending Qi and Resolving Stasis formula, the bleeding stopped immediately. This was due to Qi stagnation transforming into Fire, forcing blood to move recklessly.
Perilla Fruit (Suzi), Angelica Sinensis Tail (Guiwei), Curcuma Tuber (Yujin), Inula Flower (Xuanfuhua), Green Tangerine Peel Network (Qingpiluo), Cyperus Rhizome (Xiangfu), Notoginseng Root (Sanqi), Charred Schizonepeta Spike (Jingjietan), Corydalis Rhizome (Yanhusuo), Tangerine Peel Network (Juluo), Agarwood End (Xiangjangmo), with Finger Citron (Foshou), Amber (Hupo), and Lotus Node (Oujie) as guides.
A person suffered from asthma triggered by exposure to wind-cold or by labor. Xiao Qinglong Tang (Minor Blue Dragon Decoction) was appropriate.
Ephedra Stem (Mahuang), Cinnamon Twig (Guizhi), Perilla Fruit (Suzi), Asarum Root (Xixin), White Peony Root (Baishao), Apricot Kernel (Xingren), Platycodon Root (Jiegeng), Dried Ginger (Ganjiang).
A child developed asthma due to excessive consumption of salty food (or excessive sweet food can also cause asthma). A gentle detoxification method was used.
Calomel (Qingfen, 8 fen ground into powder), Wheat Flour (Baifan, 8 liang), mixed and baked into eight flatbreads.
Eat one each morning for eight days. (Children take half.)
A person with weak constitution developed asthma after labor, with a fine and weak pulse. Xuanfei Futu Fang (Lung-Releasing and Earth-Supporting Decoction) was used, resulting in immediate relief.
Apricot Kernel (Xingren), Adenophora Root (Nanshashen), Polygonatum Odoratum Rhizome (Yuzhu), Pseudostellaria Root (Taizishen), Poria (Fuling), Perilla Fruit (Suzi), Exocarpium Citri Reticulatae (Juhong), Pinellia Tuber (Banxia), with Rock Sugar (Bingtang) as a guide.
A woman suffered from syphilis toxin. During outbreaks, she experienced bone and joint soreness, red bumps all over her body that would ulcerate and discharge pus. Although it healed repeatedly, the deep-rooted toxin prevented complete cure.
A person had three hard nodules on the wrist, the size of chess pieces, caused by anger injuring the Liver, Qi stagnation, and phlegm coagulation in the collaterals. Burning needle therapy was applied, draining yellow glue-like fluid; this is a Phlegm Tumor (Tan Liu). A caustic paste strip (Jiangtiao) was inserted to extract the hard core. Generally, if a tumor has red threads on the skin, it is a Blood Tumor (Xue Liu). Cutting it with a knife causes uncontrollable bleeding and death. If the tumor feels soft or varies in size, it is a Qi Tumor (Qi Liu). Mistakenly cutting it disperses True Qi immediately, leading to danger. There is also a Sinew Tumor (Jin Liu), where sinews resemble coiled earthworms; it cannot withstand knives/needles, easily causing sinew contraction and inability to extend. Only Bone Tumors (Gu Liu) and Flesh Tumors (Rou Liu) can be treated initially with burning needles and inserted caustic strips to dissolve the root. Once swollen like plums or peaches, knives and needles must absolutely not be used to avoid harming the patient.
An elderly man had a diffuse carbuncle on the back with numerous sores. Although pus drained, due to old age and Qi-Blood deficiency, tonification and expulsion were necessary. Ten doses of Shiquan Dabu Tang (Ten Complete Tonifying Decoction) reduced the base, but the sore protruded higher. It was cut open with a knife and scissors to drain pus and blood, and after eighty days of regulation, he recovered. (Note: Elderly patients with back carbuncles often die within three to five years even if they recover.)
An elderly man had a carbuncle on the back (Duikou Chuang), stiff as a plate, intolerable pain. Crushed garlic was spread on the lesion, followed by moxibustion to warm and unblock the vessels, turning the condition Yang. Internally, Yangba Wei Wan (Eight Yang Pill) plus Astragalus Root (Huangqi) and Codonopsis Root (Dangshen) were given to support Zheng Qi. After three days, burning needles were applied, followed by inserting medicinal wicks. After another three days, the hardness turned to rot and gradually fell off, healing completely after a hundred days.
In summer, a person developed a boil on the sole of the foot. After mistakenly eating pork, the toxin dispersed rapidly (Zouhuang), spreading from the leg to the ribs. Several areas swelled like phlegm masses of varying sizes, with unbearable pain. Following boil treatment methods, pain stopped in one day. It must not be treated as a phlegm mass; burning needles would cause immediate danger. Once pus matured, it was lanced with a knife, taking about a month to heal.
A girl was born without an anus. First, a medicinal thread was used to pierce and lift the anal skin. After four days of traction, a scalpel was used to puncture the center of the anus. A thin wooden spike about one cun long, wrapped in thin cotton, was inserted into the incision for three days to prevent the skin and flesh from reconnecting, thus creating a functional human being.
A child was born with the frenulum under the tongue connected to the lower gum, preventing movement. Scissors were used to cut the central frenulum under the tongue. Hemostatic medicine was applied to stop bleeding, and the child recovered.
A youth often sat bare-backed against a cold stone wall in summer for coolness. Unaware that Yin cold congealed and obstructed the meridians, he soon felt back soreness and pain, worsening daily. Treatment failed, and he died after six months.
A child had bone tumors all over the body, hard and adhering to the bone, of varying sizes, with muscles wasting away. This was caused by the mother's Kidney deficiency and improper sexual relations during pregnancy, transmitting the pathogenic energy to the fetus. Long-term use of Shenqi Tang (Kidney Qi Decoction) led to spontaneous resolution.
Prepared Rehmannia Root (Shudi), Dodder Seed (Tusizi), Cornus Fruit (Yurou), Psoralea Fruit (Poguozhi), Goji Berry (Qizi), Angelica Sinensis (Danggui), Kelp (Kunbu), Seaweed (Haidai), Achyranthes Root (Huainiuxi), Frankincense (Ruxiang), Raspberry (Fupenzi), Tangerine Peel (Chenpi).
A woman with Qi stagnation developed three hard nodules in the left breast, the size of chess pieces, lasting only one month. Burning needles were used, followed by inserting caustic strips, once every six days. After several sessions, the nodules dissolved. Early treatment is essential. If the lump grows large like a plum or peach, or ulcerates with bloody water or cauliflower-like growths, it is incurable.
A person had diffuse swelling on the knee, unbearable pain, and loss of appetite. External application of crushed *Shehua* root was bound well, changed every two days. Internally, warming meridian and drying dampness herbs were given. Full recovery occurred in one month.
An elderly woman had a phlegm mass on her leg. Initially dull pain, after twenty days it became highly swollen and painful, the leg swollen like a corpse, appearance wasting away. Burning needles were applied, but she felt no pain, indicating Spleen failure and muscle death, leading to demise.
A youth with puffy yellow complexion and weak spirit had phlegm masses on the back and beside the breasts, diffusely swollen, bright, and extremely painful. Needling drained yellow fluid, indicating Spleen deficiency with dampness overflow. Two months later, just as the sores were closing, sudden whole-body edema occurred, wounds burst, and he died shortly after.
After an illness, floating fire scorched the Lungs, causing hoarseness and difficulty speaking. Liudiu Tang (Six Ingredient Decoction) brought quick recovery.
A woman had initial hidden pain below the ear, gradually swelling. After treatment, swelling subsided, but the jaw remained tight for two months. A hole below the cheekbone discharged pus, indicating bone trough wind (Gu Cao Feng) pus toxin forming multiple bones resisting the jaw. A knife pierced to the end of the gum, a little Jiang Dan (Red Sublimate Paste) was inserted, and the mouth was kept closed for half a day without eating to prevent toxic drug entry into the throat. The multiple bones were extracted, and she recovered.
An elderly woman could not open her jaw. A deep hole in the gum discharged foul water, and she could not eat. Ultimately, this was an incurable condition.
A postpartum woman suffered from wind generated by Blood deficiency, causing body itching with white scales, hair loss, and blurred vision. Qufeng Runzao Liangxue Wan (Wind-Expelling, Moistening-Drying, Cooling-Blood Pill) was given. After half a year, the disease disappeared as if it had never existed.
A person had a swollen and ulcerated navel discharging yellow fluid, caused by intestinal and stomach damp-heat exiting through the navel. Internally, clearing and promoting diuresis for damp-heat herbs were given. Externally, Huang Ti Dan (Yellow Lifting Dan) was sprinkled. Gradually, swelling subsided, fluid dried, and he recovered.
A yellow and thin woman salivated excessively upon seeing raw rice, feeling relief only after eating. This indicated Spleen deficiency with abundant dampness, transforming into heat and generating worms. Wumei, Lianzi, Heshi, Guanzhong, Huaijiao, Leiwu, Wuyi, Chuanlian, Binglang, Sichuan Pepper were given, decocted in Yellow Earth soup. After ten doses, she was safe.
A very thin girl constantly ate dirty rags and mud. This indicated worm nests in the abdomen. Deworming herbs eradicated the root after more than ten doses.
A person with residual toxicity after illness had swollen and stiff jaws, foul-smelling rotten gums, and discharge of dark red-black fluid. Unable to eat, medication was ineffective, and he died.
A person with normal daily habits craved eating metals, stones, and earth. This was due to extreme Liver-Stomach Fire generating worms capable of grinding hard objects. Decoction of Isatis Leaf (Daqingye) drunk for twenty days cleared Liver Fire, curing the condition.
A person lost heavily in gambling day and night, causing Ministerial Fire to boil and disturb the Heart Palace, biting off a piece of his tongue without realizing it. Jianghuo Anxin Yao (Fire-Descending and Heart-Calming Medicine) cured him.
A person had phlegm masses since age six, with eighteen ulcerated areas from the back to the buttocks, continuously discharging yellow fluid. Untreated until age thirty, although his appearance was ruined, his appetite remained. This was likely due to excessive cooling herbs early on, freezing the muscles, rendering treatment ineffective.
A widow with unresolved grievances had depression-fire steaming upward, causing holes at the base of the tongue discharging foul odor, known as "Double Tongue" (Chong She). Years of treatment were unsuccessful.
A person with initial jaw swelling and closure was advised by other doctors to eat pungent and stimulating foods. This aided wind-heat and fire, trapping toxins, causing severe swelling and stiffness, permanent jaw lock, and only ability to eat porridge, becoming a chronic bone trough wind case, incurable for life.
A person developed a boil on the middle finger. Eating pork and drinking alcohol caused toxin dispersion (Zouhuang). Heavy toxicity caused swelling and pain for three years without relief. First, a bowl of American Ginseng and Longan soup was given to consolidate Yuan Qi. Then, a sharp knife amputated the affected finger segment at the root. Hemostatic medicine was applied to the wound, and the hand was immersed in cold water. Later, remaining toxins were extracted, achieving full recovery in one month.
Anger caused Lung Qi obstruction, making it difficult to swallow liquids. Initially treated as throat wind without effect. I used Liver-soothing and Qi-regulating herbs (Su Geng, Peilan, Zhike, Chenxiang, Meiguihua, Yujin, Xiangfu, Muxiang, Foshou). Four doses brought peace.
A person was burned by gunpowder, scalding the head, face, and both hands. Skin was about to rot, with blisters. Raw Rhubarb powder mixed with old tung oil was applied externally, covered with paper skin, changed every two days. Full recovery in one month.
A person suffered from intermittent dysentery for over twenty years. First, six doses of Qi-supporting tonics were given. Then, Dachengqi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction) three doses were used to attack old accumulation, expelling a blood clot (accumulation bound by blood, hiding in the recesses of the Large Intestine, triggered occasionally, recurring and stopping repeatedly). Afterward, tonification and regulation for over a month led to recovery.
A child had a carbuncle at the Huantiao acupoint. Due to excessive cooling herbs, muscles froze, forming a fistula discharging clear pus, causing limping in one leg. Ultimately incurable.
A woman had a carbuncle on the inner ankle bone, shaped like a peeled eel, rotting and discharging foul water (dampness in the body tends to flow downward). Shengshi Dan (Dampness-Overcoming Dan) was applied, and the area was tightly bound so the medicine wouldn't wash away with the fluid. She eventually recovered.
A man had a back carbuncle on the left foot, rotting, foul, and extremely painful. Ascension and recovery were difficult in the lower foot. Shengshi Dan was applied, tightly bound, once every four days. Results achieved in fifty days.
A woman had purple bumps all over her hands and feet, painful or discharging yellow fluid, named Zijian Feng (Purple Petechiae Wind). Caused by damp-heat lingering in the Blood level.

Internally, cooling-blood and damp-draining herbs were given, yielding immediate results.
A child constantly discharged foul pus from the upper gum seam, known as Tooth Fistula (Ya Lou). Silver probes tested it, finding the fistula connected to the nose, leaving no effective treatment.
A person had a fistula in the inner eye corner. Probing showed connection to the outside. Old Jiangtiao was inserted first to dissolve the tube, then sharp scissors opened it up. Flesh-generating medicine was applied, and a plaster was worn for one month for complete healing. If connected to the inside of the eye, it is absolutely incurable.
A woman had a boil at the corner of the mouth. Mistakenly eating pork caused toxin dispersion. Lips swelled and turned hard. Needling drew no blood, accompanied by extreme pain, irritability, nausea, and vomiting, indicating internal toxin closure. Toxin spread to the hypochondrium, causing diffuse swelling in three areas, like flowing abscesses (burning needles would cause immediate death). Internally, Dingdu Fusheng Tang (Boil-Toxin Reviving Decoction, recorded in *Waike Zhengzong*) twelve doses were given. Pus drained and swelling subsided on the lips, but hypochondriac pus appeared only after a month, healing completely after a hundred days.
A person recovered from leg-contracting phlegm but mistakenly ate adzuki beans, causing toxin recurrence. The affected leg became painfully sore and stiff as iron. Treatment was ineffective. After a year, slight movement was possible, but he ultimately became lame.
A person had three flowing abscesses (Liuzhu). Bedridden for a month with no pus, except for deep ulceration at the Weili acupoint, named Xichuang (Mat Sore). Muscle death occurred first; declared incurable, he died shortly after.
An elderly man had winter-warmth fever, irritability, sweating, diarrhea, stiff/dry/cracked tongue, no thirst, and a fine/weak pulse—Yang disease with Yin pulse. This indicated exhaustion of True Yin, unable to moisten upwards, leading to immediate coma. Attempted Yin-rescuing methods failed, and he passed away.
A woman with a carbuncle on the neck (Duikou) had all necrotic tissue shed. The wound was black, concave, and foul-smelling, refusing to generate flesh. This was an internal collapse bad syndrome, inevitably fatal.
A woman known for disobedience cursed her mother-in-law severely, then imagined being lifted by thunder gods and thrown down.

A person had a flesh tumor on the wrist, apricot-sized. After needling, while weeding fields, tendons and vessels were injured. One arm swelled diffusely and hurt, breaking into several holes discharging pus, yet swelling persisted. Treatment lasted two years before swelling subsided and wounds closed, but fingers remained contracted. (Note: After acupuncture/moxibustion, any labor will definitely cause swelling and pain.)
An elderly man had Yin Da Bei (back carbuncle), stiff as a plate, unchanged skin color. Garlic was mashed and applied, followed by moxibustion twice. Although the base shrank, the head remained hard and black. Knife piercing made a cracking sound, indicating muscle stiffness like stone, a karmic retribution syndrome. After consulting several physicians, he died.
A woman traveled far in winter snow and waded across a river barefoot. Yin-cold pathogens forced inward, causing direct transmission Cold Damage (Zhizhong Shanghan). Body cold, head hot, painful, no sweat, whole body cyanotic, six pulses sunken and hidden. No prescription was given; she died in three days.
A soldier returning victorious from suppressing rebels ran fifty miles in excitement. Internal fire boiled and surged upward, damaging Yin collaterals and forcing blood to bleed recklessly from mouth, eyes, ears, and nose. On the verge of death, bleeding continued. Xijiao Dihuang Tang (Rhino Horn and Rehmannia Decoction) was given. Blood stopped immediately upon entering the stomach (This formula treats Excess Fire, not Deficiency Fire). After a few days of rest, he recovered.
A woman suffered from severe malaria for years, extreme Spleen-Stomach deficiency, failing Middle Qi transport, whole-body edema, bloating after eating. Bu Zhong Xiao Man method was used.
