罗谦甫治疗入国信副使许可道。他到雄州去为罗医生诊脉。罗医生诊断后认为，他的脉搏忽大忽小，忽长忽短。这是气血不调匀，邪气损伤正气的表现。这位官员说，在路途中经过邯郸驿站时，夜里梦见一个穿着青衣的妇人，看不清面目，用手向胁下打了一拳，随即感到一点疼痛，这种疼痛反复发作不止，并且伴有寒热往来、不能进食的症状，这属于“鬼击”病。罗医生说：“可以服用八毒赤丸。”这位官员说曾读过《明医录》，书中提到李子豫的八毒赤丸是杀鬼的利器，于是给了三粒药，临睡前服用。第二天早上排出清水两斗，立刻见效。
又治疗陈庆玉的儿子。因为白天睡在水仙庙中，梦见得到一块饼并吃掉了，心里因此忧虑。导致心腹部痞闷胀满，饮食减少，大约一年多的时间，逐渐消瘦虚弱，腹胀如蛊病（腹水），多次更换药物及进行巫术祈祷，都没有效果，无法安稳睡觉。罗医生为他诊脉，询问发病的始末原因并思考：这个疾病既不是外感风寒，也不是内伤生冷，依据什么来治疗呢？于是想到李子豫的八毒赤丸，觉得颇为对症，于是给他服用了五到七丸的药。排出了青黄色的涎沫一斗多，渐渐气息调和，再用其他药物调理，几个月后痊愈。此药神效灵验，配合使用时必须斋戒沐浴，在洁净的房间澄澈心神来配制。方剂由雄黄、矾石、朱砂、炮附子、藜芦、牡丹皮、巴豆各一两，蜈蚣一条组成，将八味药研成细末，用蜂蜜制成如小豆大小的丸药。每次服用五到七丸，随时可用冷水送服。
又有一个人被“鬼击”，身上有青色痕迹且疼痛，用金银花水煎服后痊愈。
俞震按语：僧人慎柔治疗痨疰（慢性消耗性疾病），多用金银花藤，大概本源于此。然而像传尸痨这样确实有鬼物凭依的情况，使用它才有效。如果是精血耗损导致的虚劳，又有什么关系呢？
李士材治疗文学朱文哉。全身像被虫子叮咬一样疼痛，口舌糜烂，早晨起来必定看见两个鬼影，自己认为是不祥之兆即将死亡。李医生诊察他的寸脉忽大忽小，猜想可能是鬼祟作怪。仔细察看两关脉象弦滑且大，于是判断为痰饮病。投予滚痰丸三钱，虽然略有排泄，但病患症状依旧。又给予小胃丹二钱，再次排出痰积和水十余碗，全身疼痛减轻了一半。到了第二天早上，鬼影也不见了。接着用人参三钱、白术二钱煎汤，送服小胃丹三钱，大泻十多次，约有二十碗的量，病痛仿佛消失了。然后用六君子丸调理，服用了四斤后病愈。
Luo Qianfu treated Xu Kedao, the Vice Envoy of the State Mission. When he arrived at Xiongzhou to consult Dr. Luo, Luo diagnosed his pulse as fluctuating between large and small, long and short. This indicated an imbalance of Qi and Blood, with pathogenic factors injuring the healthy Qi. The official stated that while traveling through Handan Post Station, he had dreamed of a woman in green clothing whose face was indistinct; she punched him under the hypochondrium, causing a sharp pain that persisted intermittently, accompanied by alternating chills and fever and loss of appetite. He identified this as "Ghost Strike" (Gui Ji). Dr. Luo said, "You may take Badu Chi Wan (Eight-Poison Red Pill)." The official mentioned having read *Mingyi Lu* (Record of Famous Physicians), which cited Li Ziyu's Badu Chi Wan as a weapon against ghosts. Thus, three pills were administered before sleep. By the next morning, two dou of clear water were discharged, and immediate relief ensued.
He also treated the son of Chen Qingyu. Having slept during the day in the Shuixian Temple, the patient dreamed of receiving and eating a piece of cake, leading to mental anxiety. This resulted in epigastric and abdominal fullness and distension, reduced food intake, and over a year, progressive emaciation and abdominal distension resembling Gu disease (abdominal mass/water accumulation). Multiple changes of medication and exorcisms proved ineffective, preventing restful sleep. Upon diagnosis, Dr. Luo inquired about the onset and considered: since this was neither external contraction of Wind-Cold nor internal injury from cold/raw foods, what basis existed for treatment? Recalling Li Ziyu's Badu Chi Wan, he deemed it appropriate and prescribed five to seven pills. More than one dou of yellowish-green phlegm-saliva was discharged, gradually regulating the Qi, followed by other therapies until recovery after several months. This medicine is miraculous but requires preparation through fasting, bathing, purification of the room, and mental clarity. The formula consists of Realgar (Xionghuang), Alum (Fanshi), Cinnabar (Zhusha), Prepared Aconite Root (Pao Fuzi), Veratrum Rhizome (Lilu), Moutan Cortex (Mudanpi), and Croton Seed (Badou), each 1 liang, plus one centipede (Wugong). These eight ingredients are powdered and formed into pills the size of small beans with honey. Take five to seven pills at any time with cold water.
Another person suffering from Ghost Strike presented with blue marks on the body and pain; they recovered after decocting and drinking Honeysuckle Vine (Jinyinhua Teng).
Yu Zhen commented: Monk Shen Rou treated Lao Zhu (consumption) using mostly Honeysuckle Vine, likely originating from this case. However, such efficacy applies only when transmission tuberculosis involves actual spiritual possession. For deficiency consumption caused by depletion of essence and blood, what relevance does this have?
Li Shicai treated Scholar Zhu Wenzai, who suffered from whole-body sensations like insect stings, erosion of the mouth and tongue, and visualized two ghosts every morning, fearing imminent death due to these omens. Li palpated the Cun position showing a pulse fluctuating between large and small, suspecting spiritual interference. Upon detailed examination of the Guan positions, finding them wiry, slippery, and large, he diagnosed Phlegm-Fluid retention. He administered Guntan Wan (Rolling Phlegm Pill) 3 qian. Although slight evacuation occurred, symptoms remained unchanged. Subsequently, Xiaowei Dan (Minor Stomach Pill) 2 qian was given, resulting in the discharge of more than ten bowls of phlegm-stagnation and water. Body pain decreased by half, and the ghost visions disappeared by the next morning. Then, Ginseng Radix (Renshen) 3 qian and Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome (Baizhu) 2 qian were decocted to administer Xiaowei Dan 3 qian, causing severe diarrhea over ten times totaling about twenty bowls. The illness vanished. Finally, Liu Junzi Wan (Six-Gentlemen Pill) was taken in granule form, four jin total, leading to cure.
Yu Zhen commented: This exemplifies strange syndromes caused by excessive phlegm, which is not unusual. What is remarkable is the use of large doses of Renshen and Baizhu decoction to deliver Xiaowei Dan, pioneering the method of simultaneous purgation and tonification for later generations.
