毛，十二岁。癸亥年十二月初二日就诊。大便后便血（粪便中带有红色血液），病机归因于小肠寒湿证，这与大便前便血属于大肠湿热证不同。世间从事医疗行业的人，不知道这种区别，难怪病情十数年不愈。采用古法黄土汤治疗。
处方：灶心土（二两）、生地黄（三钱）、制苍术（三钱）、熟附子（三钱）、阿胶（三钱）、黄芩（二钱，炒制）、炙甘草（三钱）。
加酒炒白芍、全当归（一钱半）。
用水八碗，煎煮成三碗，分三次服用。
初七日：小儿的脉象应当数而反见缓象，大便后便血，之前使用黄土汤已经见效，仍按前法治疗，加入刚燥药物，即在前方中去掉白芍、全当归，加入：
附子（一钱）、苍术（二钱）。
孙，男，三十八岁。戊寅年七月初一日就诊。湖州的一位举人，素有便血症状，从十八岁起至今未断，现面色萎黄，失血过多，急需采用古法治疗。“有病则病受”，即使在暑热月份服药也无妨碍。
方剂组成和剂量同前法，服用一帖即止血，次日停服后续药物，半月后复发，再服一帖痊愈。
福，二十九岁。起初因为恣意饮用冰镇黄酒，食用冰浸水果，又感受外风，导致形成风水证（以头面身体浮肿为主的风水病）。头部面部与全身肿大，难以形容，肿胀从头开始。先给予越婢汤发汗，头面肿消；继以利小便之法，下肢肿胀减轻；后调理脾胃。从去年十月间服药，到次年三月才停止，共计服用汤药一百四十三帖，病情始安。嘱咐其戒除酒肉及生冷食物。
没想到夏季暑热极盛之时，仍然恣意吃冰冷水果，自八月后大便后大量狂出血，每次多达几升。我使用黄土汤去掉柔润药物，加入刚燥药物，每剂灶心土用一斤，附子用六钱，有时止血后又复发。患者本人见其血不止，将附子加至八钱，或一两，其他药物照此调整，服用九十余帖，才大愈。
胡，三十岁。乙酉年九月十七日就诊。本系嗜酒之人，湿中生热，日久发黄，颜色暗滞，六脉俱弦，发病逐渐加重，这不是阳黄证，况且大便后见红，难道不是小肠寒湿吗？

处方：川椒炭（三钱）、广陈皮（三钱）、生姜（二钱）、灶心土（四两）、云茯苓（五钱）、生茅术（三钱）、香附（三钱）、熟附子（三钱）、益智仁（三钱）。

丙戌正月初五日：六脉俱弦，左脉更紧，大便后便血，小肠寒湿，黄土汤为主方，议黄土汤去掉柔润药物，加入淡渗通阳药物，虽然自觉胸中热，背心如热水浇，所云热非真热也，况且又恶寒乎。

Mao, aged 12. On the second day of the twelfth lunar month in the Guihai year. Hematochezia (blood in stool after defecation), attributed to Cold-Dampness of the Small Intestine, which is different from Damp-Heat of the Large Intestine seen in hematochezia before defecation. Physicians throughout the world are unaware of this distinction, no wonder the condition has persisted for over ten years. Treat with the ancient method of Huangtu Tang (Yellow Earth Decoction).
Prescription: Zaozhong Huangtu (Fired Hearth Soil, 2 liang), Sheng Dihuang (Fresh Rehmanniae Radix, 3 qian), Zhi Cangzhu (Prepared Atractylodis Rhizoma, 3 qian), Shu Fuzi (Prepared Aconiti Lateralis Radix, 3 qian), Ejiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin, 3 qian), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, 2 qian, stir-fried), Zhigancao (Prepared Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 3 qian).
Add Jiuchao Baishao (Wine-stir-fried Paeoniae Radix Alba) and Quan Danggui (Total Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 1.5 qian).
Use eight bowls of water, decoct into three bowls, divide into three doses.
On the seventh day: Children's pulse should be rapid but instead appears slow. Hematochezia after defecation; the previous use of Huangtu Tang has shown efficacy. Continue with the previous method, adding "Gang" (acrid-warm/drying) herbs. Remove Baishao and Danggui from the previous formula, add:
Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, 1 qian), Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma, 2 qian).
Sun, Male, aged 38. On the first day of the seventh lunar month in the Wuyin year. A Juren (Licentiate) from Huzhou, he has had a chronic history of hematochezia since age 18 without cessation. His complexion is sallow, and he has lost too much blood. It is urgent to use the ancient method. "When there is disease, the disease receives the treatment"; even if taken during the hot summer months, it will not cause harm.
The composition and dosage of the method are the same as before. One dose stops the bleeding immediately; stop subsequent doses the next day. After half a month, it recurs; take one more dose to recover.
Fu, aged 29. Initially, due to excessive consumption of iced yellow wine, iced fruits, and exposure to external Wind, he developed Fengshui syndrome (Wind-Water edema). The head, face, and body became severely swollen. The swelling started from the head. First, give Yebip Tang (Yarrow Diuretic Decoction) to induce sweating; the head and facial swelling subsided. Then, promote urination to reduce lower body swelling. Later, regulate the Spleen and Stomach. From October of the previous year to March of the next year, he took a total of 143 doses of decoction before the illness was resolved. He was advised to abstain from alcohol, meat, and raw/cold foods.
Unexpectedly, during the peak of summer heat, he continued to consume iced fruits excessively. After August, he experienced massive hematochezia after defecation, with each episode amounting to several sheng (a unit of volume). I used Huangtu Tang, removing "Rou" (soft/moistening) herbs and adding "Gang" (acrid-warm/drying) herbs. Each dose used one jin (approx. 500g) of Zaozhong Huangtu and 6 qian of Fuzi. Sometimes bleeding stopped but recurred. Seeing the persistent bleeding, the patient himself increased Fuzi to 8 qian or 1 liang, adjusting other herbs accordingly. After taking over 90 doses, he greatly recovered.
Hu, aged 30. On the seventeenth day of the ninth lunar month in the Yiyu year. He is a habitual drinker; Dampness generated Heat over time, leading to Jaundice. The color is dark and dull, all six pulses are wiry, and the onset was gradual. This is not Yang Jaundice. Moreover, seeing red after defecation indicates Small Intestine Cold-Dampness, does it not?

Decoct into three cups, divide into three doses. Cured in five doses.
Chen, aged 35. On the twenty-first day of the fourth lunar month in the Yiyu year. Hematochezia after defecation, caused by Cold-Dampness. Mistakenly treated with tonics and cooling herbs, damaging the Stomach appetite. Qi exits through the urethra, similar to Yin Chui (vaginal flatulence) associated with Jia Qi (mass qi) in women. Pain in the left hypochondrium Liver region prevents lying down; eating greasy food causes chaotic chills. It seems difficult to treat. We propose treating the root cause, continuing to treat based on Cold-Dampness, allowing him to eat comfortably before further discussion. Use Huangtu Tang, removing "Rou" herbs and adding "Gang" herbs.

On the fifteenth day of the eleventh lunar month: Liver Qi Stagnation with Phlegm-Fluid retention, Cold-Dampness pathogenesis. Previously used Huangtu Tang to treat Cold-Dampness causing hematochezia. Now that bleeding has stopped, continue to unblock and tonify Stomach Yang. Currently, dietary intake has increased significantly, symptoms are gradually stabilizing. However, six pulses are fine-wiry. Right hand shows Stomach Qi, left hand is wiry-tight. There is much phlegm, aversion to cold, and latent Fluids under the hypochondrium. Unblock and tonify Stomach Yang, while simultaneously expelling Phlegm-Fluids.

On the thirteenth day: Took two doses of the Liver-soothing prescription from the fifteenth day of the eleventh lunar month.
On the fourteenth day: Aversion to cold in the back, pulse still wiry-tight. Take two more doses of Guizhi Jia Gui Tang from the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month to vigorously tonify Chong Yang. Expectorated two mouthfuls of stubborn phlegm after taking the medicine.
On the seventeenth day: Pulse still wiry-tight, back still feels cold. Yang has not fully recovered. Continue with the original prescription for two more doses, divided over four days.
