预解痘毒，万氏有代天宣化丸，但可预防天行，究于内毒无涉。若饵朱砂、珍珠、黄连、犀角、兔血、鹤卵之属，
总因视为欲火之毒，故专入少阴，方虽新奇，试多无效。或涂萆麻膏，浴鳢鱼汤，欲提毒出外，亦取未舍本。余究心格
致，独主毒袭脾经之说，又得《松 山人笔记》，详言葵菜解毒之验。按葵性凉滑，入脾清湿热有功，喜其言之信而
有征也，今附载于后。葵，一名红菜头，一名女菜，一名滑菜，一名 ，盖百菜之主也。四时可种为蔬，秋种者更佳，
故冬葵子尤为药品所尚。尝阅《本草纲目》，李氏开载葵菜之功，万不失一，而历代流传，疑信相半，遂从菜部改入草部，
且因葵性寒滑，恐伤脾胃，不敢轻试，遂令对病妙药，弃置不用，而恶毒流染，坐致痿顿，心甚伤之。久有此疑，无从
识别，十数年间，广询博访，乃知为红菜头无疑。间令童稚饵之，虽无伤害，而功效未显，未敢轻传。比年以来，数经此
症盛行，见不治者十有八九，而尝食此菜者，百无一失，乃知相传之讹，致神功之久湮也，可胜慨哉！方敢形之诸着，
以广其传。嗟乎！因慎重而坐令陆沉，因未广而犹然胥溺，失今不传，后悔奚及，乃开列其方，以公诸天下后世。盖其
寒滑者，性也，泄利者，毒也，与脾胃根本何与？且未病而先药，病受之，病去本完，最为上策。即见点而后食，犹将
收大半之功，不犹愈于坐火观薪者乎，又岂若俗医见危迫，辄进芩、连，惨均 刃者乎？噫！是在信不信、试不试之间
耳，安敢以人命为等闲，而冀其必售乎？其法，采此菜熟之以供蔬食，愈久愈佳。余所为恳恳 ，祈人之必信必传者，
聊以逭逋慢之愆，而为不可复生者志痛耳！余何慕焉？
预防痘毒，万氏有代天宣化丸，但只能预防时行疫病，终究对体内的痘毒没有作用。如果服用朱砂、珍珠、黄连、犀角、兔血、鹤卵之类的药物，总是因为将痘毒视为相火之毒，所以药物专门入少阴经。方子虽然新奇，但尝试多次大多无效。或者涂抹蓖麻膏，用鳢鱼汤洗澡，想要把毒邪提引到体表，这也是舍本逐末的做法。我深入研究格物致知之理，唯独主张“毒邪侵袭脾经”的说法，又得到《松山人笔记》，详细记载了葵菜解毒的验证效果。查考葵菜的药性凉滑，进入脾经能清除湿热有功，喜欢它的说法确实且有证据，现在附载在后面。葵菜，又名红菜头，又名女菜，又名滑菜，又名冬寒菜，大概是百菜中的首领。四季都可以种植作为蔬菜，秋季种植的更好，所以冬葵子尤其被药品所推崇。曾经阅读《本草纲目》，李时珍开篇记载葵菜的功效，万无一失，但历代流传下来，怀疑和相信各占一半，于是从菜部改入草部，并且因为葵菜性寒滑，担心损伤脾胃，不敢轻易尝试，于是让这味对症的妙药被弃置不用，而恶毒流布感染，导致患者瘫软无力，心里非常悲伤。长久以来有这个疑问，无法识别，十数年间，广泛咨询访问，才知道是红菜头无疑。偶尔让儿童食用它，虽然没有伤害，但功效不明显，不敢轻易传播。近年来，这种病症多次盛行，见到不治疗的十有八九死亡，而吃过这种菜的人，一百个中没有一个是失误（死亡）的，才知道相传的错误，致使神功长期湮没，怎能不令人感慨！才敢将其写成著作，以广泛传播。唉！因为慎重而坐视其沉沦，因为不广泛传播而依然全部淹没，错过现在不传播，后悔怎么来得及？于是开列其方法，以公之于天下后世。大概它的寒滑，是它的本性；泄利（腹泻），是毒邪的表现，这与脾胃的根本有什么关系呢？况且未病先用药，病邪受之，病去后根本完好，是最上等的策略。即使看到痘点发出后再吃，还将收到大半的功效，不是胜过坐视火势燃烧柴薪的人吗？又哪里像俗医见到危急紧迫，就进用黄芩、黄连，惨烈如同刀割一样呢？唉！这在于信不信、试不试之间罢了，怎敢把人命当作儿戏，而期望它一定灵验呢？其方法，采摘这种菜煮熟供作蔬菜食用，存放越久越好。我所做的恳切请求，希望人们一定要相信一定要传播，只是为了逃避怠慢的罪过，并为不可复生的人表达悲痛罢了！我有什么可羡慕的呢？
To prevent smallpox toxin, Wan Shi (Wan Quan) has the Daitian Xuanhua Pill (Emperor's Heaven Proclaiming Transformation Pill), but it can only prevent epidemic diseases and ultimately has no effect on internal toxins. If one ingests substances such as Cinnabar (Zhusha), Pearl (Zhenzhu), Scutellaria Root (Huanglian), Rhinoceros Horn (Xijiao), Rabbit Blood (Tuxue), or Crane Eggs (Heluan), it is generally because the toxin is viewed as a "desire fire" toxin, thus the medicines specifically enter the Shaoyin (Lesser Yin) channel. Although the prescription is novel, trials have mostly proved ineffective. Alternatively, applying Castor Oil Paste (Bima Gao) or bathing in Snakehead Fish Decoction (Liyu Tang) aims to draw the toxin outwards, which is also abandoning the root for the branches. I have devoted myself to investigating things to extend knowledge (Gewuzhizhi) and exclusively advocate the theory that "toxin attacks the Spleen channel." Furthermore, having obtained the *Notes of Songshan Ren*, which details the verified efficacy of Okra (Kuicai) in detoxification, I find its properties cool and slippery, entering the Spleen to meritably clear damp-heat. I appreciate its claims as credible and evidenced, so I append them below. Okra, also known as Red Beetroot (Hongcaitou), Female Vegetable (Nücai), Slippery Vegetable (Huacai), or Winter Mallow (Donghancai), is arguably the chief among hundred vegetables. It can be planted as a vegetable in all four seasons, with autumn planting being superior; hence, the seeds of Winter Okra (Dongkuizi) are highly valued in materia medica. Having read *Compendium of Materia Medica* (Bencao Gangmu), Li Shizhen's opening description of Okra's merits was infallible. However, through generations of transmission, skepticism and belief coexisted. Consequently, it was moved from the Vegetable Section to the Herb Section. Moreover, due to its cold and slippery nature, fear of damaging the Spleen and Stomach led practitioners to dare not try it lightly. Thus, this miraculous remedy for specific conditions was abandoned, while toxic pathogens spread unchecked, causing patients to become paralyzed and prostrate—a situation that deeply saddened me. For years, harboring this doubt without means of verification, and after extensive inquiry over more than a decade, I confirmed it was indeed Red Beetroot. Occasionally allowing children to consume it caused no harm, though the efficacy was not immediately apparent, so I dared not disseminate it widely. In recent years, this disease has prevailed multiple times. Among those untreated, eight or nine out of ten died, whereas among those who consumed this vegetable, none perished. This revealed how transmitted errors caused long-term obscurity of its divine efficacy—how lamentable! Only now do I dare to publish this in writing to promote its widespread dissemination. Alas! Due to excessive caution, we allowed it to sink into oblivion; due to lack of promotion, everyone remains submerged. If we fail to transmit it now, how will we cope with future regrets? Therefore, I list its method to make it public to the world and future generations. Its cold and slippery nature is inherent; diarrhea/dysentery is a manifestation of the toxin. What does this have to do with the root of the Spleen and Stomach? Furthermore, medicating before illness onset allows the pathogen to be absorbed and expelled, leaving the body's foundation intact—the highest strategy. Even consuming it after spots appear still yields half the efficacy, which is far superior to sitting idle watching the fire burn wood. How could it compare to vulgar physicians who, upon seeing critical urgency, hastily administer Scutellaria Root (Qin) and Coptis Rhizome (Lian), acting cruelly like blades? Alas! It lies merely between belief and disbelief, trial and non-trial. How dare I treat human life as trivial and expect guaranteed success? The method is to harvest this vegetable, cook it thoroughly for dietary use; the longer it is stored, the better. My earnest pleas for people to believe and transmit this are merely to evade the blame of negligence and to express grief for those irrecoverably lost. What ambition do I harbor?
