陈姓小儿，发热肢搐，幼科与惊风药，遂神昏气促，汗出无溺。孟英至而视之，曰∶暑也。令取蕉叶铺于泥地，
予儿卧之。投以∶辰砂六一散加石膏、知母、西洋参、竹
叶、荷花露，一剂而瘳。
继有胡氏女，病略同，儿科云不治，因恳于孟英，亦以此法活之。
乔有南侄，甫五龄，发热数日，医予柴葛解肌汤一剂，肢搐而厥，目张不语。其母孀居，仅此一脉，偏求
治疗，毫无寸效。所亲徐和甫，托王瘦石访一擅幼科之长者。瘦石谓∶
宜求善于外感者。盖人有大小，病无二致，切勿舍大方（脉）而信专科，此喻嘉言活幼金针也。盍延孟英视之？
徐从之。孟英曰∶病是暑邪，治以风药，热得风而焰烈，津受灼以风腾。乃风药引起肝风，再投俗尚“惊风”之
剂，稚子根本不牢，而狂风不熄，拔折堪虞。与∶王氏犀角地黄汤加羚羊角、生石膏、元参，桑叶、菊花、银
花、牡蛎、知母、麦冬、竹叶诸药，数服而痊。
陈荷官，病痞积腹胀，发热干呛，善食而黄瘦，便溏溺赤。儿科药广服无功，已将绝望。孟英闻而怜之曰；吾
于幼科虽未讨论，姑赠一方，或有生机也。以∶黄连 白芍 牡蛎 鳖甲 鸡肫皮 木瓜 山楂 楝实 橘皮 桔
梗霞天曲 旋复 栀子 丹皮 五谷虫等药，一剂知，旬余愈。
陈姓的小儿，出现发热和四肢抽搐的症状。儿科医生给他服用治疗惊风的药物，结果导致孩子神志昏迷、呼吸急促、出汗且无尿。孟英前来诊视后说：“这是暑邪致病。”他让人取蕉叶铺在泥地上，让孩子躺在上面。然后给予辰砂六一散加石膏、知母、西洋参、竹叶、荷花露，服用一剂后痊愈。
接着有胡家的女孩，病情大致相同，儿科医生说无法治愈，于是向孟英恳求救治，孟英也用同样的方法救活了她。
乔有南的侄子，刚五岁，发热数日，医生给他服用柴葛解肌汤一剂后，出现四肢抽搐和厥冷，眼睛睁大不能说话。他的母亲是寡妇，只有这一个后代，四处求医治疗，毫无效果。亲戚徐和甫，委托王瘦石去寻找一位擅长儿科的老医师。王瘦石说：“应当寻求善于治疗外感病的医生。因为人有大小之分，但疾病的原理没有两样，千万不要舍弃大方脉（内科）而相信专科，这是喻嘉言《活幼心书》中的金针秘诀。”为什么不请孟英来诊治呢？徐和甫听从了他的建议。孟英说：“病是暑邪，却用风药治疗，热邪得到风药的助长而更加猛烈，津液受风药灼烧而沸腾。这实际上是风药引动了肝风，再投以世俗流行的‘惊风’药剂，小孩子根本不牢固，而狂风不止，令人担忧会有折断之虞。”于是给予王氏犀角地黄汤加羚羊角、生石膏、元参、桑叶、菊花、银花、牡蛎、知母、麦冬、竹叶等药物，服用几剂后痊愈。
陈荷官，患有痞积腹胀，发热干咳，食欲好但身体黄瘦，大便溏薄，小便赤红。儿科药物广泛服用无效，已经绝望。孟英听说后怜悯他说：“我虽然未专门研究儿科，暂且赠送一方，或许还有生机。”给予黄连、白芍、牡蛎、鳖甲、鸡肫皮、木瓜、山楂、楝实、橘皮、桔梗、霞天曲、旋复花、栀子、丹皮、五谷虫等药物，服用一剂见效，十几天后痊愈。
A Chen family child presented with fever and limb convulsions. The pediatrician administered medicines for "Jing Feng" (infantile convulsion), resulting in coma, shortness of breath, sweating, and anuria. Mengying examined the patient and said, "This is due to Summerheat." He ordered banana leaves to be spread on the mud ground for the child to lie upon. He prescribed Chen Sha Liu Yi San (Cinnabar Six-One Powder) added with Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum), Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma), Xiyangshen (American Ginseng), Zhuye (Bambusae Folium), and Hehua Lu (Lotus Flower Dew). After one dose, the condition improved significantly.
Subsequently, a Hu family girl presented with similar symptoms. The pediatrician declared it incurable, so she sought help from Mengying, who also cured her using the same method.
Qiao Younan's nephew, just five years old, had suffered from fever for several days. A physician administered Chai Ge Jie Ji Tang (Bupleurum and Pueraria Decoction to Release the Muscle Layer) for one dose, after which the child developed limb convulsions and cold extremities, with eyes open but unable to speak. His mother was a widow with only this single heir. She sought treatment everywhere without any effect. His relative, Xu Hefu, entrusted Wang Shoushi to find an elder specialist in pediatrics. Wang Shoushi said, "You should seek a physician skilled in treating external contractions. Although patients differ in age, the principles of disease are the same. Do not abandon Da Fang Mai (Internal Medicine/Pulse Diagnosis) to trust specialized departments; this is the golden needle secret from Yu Jiayan's *Huoyou Xinshu* (Golden Needle for Curing Children)." Why not invite Mengying to examine him? Xu Hefu followed this advice. Mengying said, "The disease is caused by Summerheat pathogen, yet wind-dispelling medicines were used. Heat becomes fierce when aided by wind medicines, and body fluids boil under the scorching effect of wind. Thus, wind medicines triggered Liver Wind. Administering common 'Jing Feng' formulas further endangered the child, whose root essence is fragile. With the violent wind unextinguished, there is cause for concern regarding collapse." He prescribed Wang Shi Xi Jiao Di Huang Tang (Wang's Rhinoceros Horn and Rehmannia Decoction) added with Lingyangjiao (Saiga Antelope Horn), Sheng Shigao (Raw Gypsum Fibrosum), Yuan Shen (Scrophulariae Radix), Sang Ye (Mori Folium), Ju Hua (Chrysanthemi Flos), Yin Hua (Lonicerae Japonicae Flos), Muli (Ostreae Concha), Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma), Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix), and Zhuye (Bambusae Folium). After several doses, the child recovered.
Chen Heguan suffered from abdominal distension due to Pi Ji (accumulation masses), fever, dry cough, good appetite but yellowish emaciation, loose stools, and dark urine. Extensive use of pediatric medicines yielded no results, leading to despair. Hearing of this, Mengying felt pity and said, "Although I have not specifically studied pediatrics, I will tentatively prescribe a formula; perhaps there is still hope." He prescribed Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma), Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Muli (Ostreae Concha), Biejia (Trionycis Carapax et Plastrum), Jizhoupi (Galli Gigerii Endothelium Corneum), Mugua (Chaenomelis Fructus), Shanzha (Crataegi Fructus), Lianshi (Meliae Fructus), Jupi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix), Xia Tian Qu (Xia Tian Qu), Xuan Fu (Inulae Flos), Zhizi (Gardeniae Fructus), Danpi (Moutan Cortex), and Wu Gu Chong (Nephertis Insecta). After one dose, improvement was noted, and within ten-plus days, he recovered.
