一少妇，分娩，胞水早破，胎涩不能下。俗谓之“沥浆生”。催生药遍试不应。孟英令买鲜猪肉一、二斤，
洗净切大块，急火煎汤，吹去浮油，恣饮之，即产，母子皆生。且云∶猪为水畜，其肉最腴，大补肾阴而生津液。
余尝用治肾水枯涸之消渴，阴虚阳越之喘嗽，并具奇效。仲景治少阴咽痛，用猪肤，亦取其补阴虚而戢浮阳也。
后贤不察，反指为有毒之物。汪 庵非之，是矣。惟外感初愈，及虚寒滑泻者，湿盛生痰之证，概不可食。
以其滋腻更甚于阿胶、熟地、龙眼也。猪以浙产者为良，北猪不堪入用，吾
杭之燥肉 即猪皮为之，可以致远，入药尤为简当，不必泥于“皮”与“肤”之字面而穿凿以夸考据也。
孟英又云∶昔老友范君庆簪语雄曰∶解渴莫如猪肉汤。凡官炉银匠每当酷暑，正各县倾造奏销银两纳库之际，银
炉最高，火光迎面，故非气血充足者，不能习此业。然人受火烁，其渴莫解，必须猪肉，以急火煎清汤，撇去浮油，
缸盛待冷，用此代茶。雄闻而悟曰∶此渴乃火烁其液，非茶可解。猪为水畜，其肉最腴，功专补水救液，允非瓜果
可比，因此推而及虚喘、虚闭、下损、难产诸证之无液者，无不投之辄应，乃知猪肉为滋阴妙品也。
局医黄秀元之与人韩名谅者，有儿妇，重身患热病，局中诸医皆虑胎陨，率以补血为方。旬日后，势已垂危。
挽人求孟英诊之，曰∶胎早腐矣，宜急下之，或可冀幸，若欲保胎，则吾不知也。其家力恳疏方。遂以调胃承气汤
合犀角地黄汤加西洋参、麦冬、知母、石斛、牛膝投之，胎落，果已臭烂，而神气即清，热亦渐缓。次予∶西洋
参元参 生地 知母 麦冬 丹参 丹皮 茯苓 山楂 石
斛豆卷 茺蔚子 琥珀等药调之，粥食日加，旬日而愈。
一位年轻妇女分娩时，羊水过早破裂，胎儿干涩无法娩出。民间称之为“沥浆生”。各种催产药物都尝试过，但无效。王孟英让人买一两斤新鲜猪肉，洗净切成大块，用急火煎煮成汤，撇去表面的浮油，让产妇随意饮用，随即顺利生产，母子平安。他还说：猪属于水畜，其肉质肥美，大能补肾阴并生津液。我曾用它治疗肾水枯竭导致的消渴症，以及阴虚阳越引起的喘咳，都有奇效。张仲景治疗少阴病咽痛时使用猪肤，也是取其补益阴虚、收敛浮阳的作用。后世医家没有仔细考察，反而认为它是有毒之物。汪昂对此进行了驳斥，这是正确的。只是对于外感病刚痊愈的人，以及虚寒滑泻、湿盛生痰的患者，一概不可食用。因为它的滋腻程度甚至超过阿胶、熟地和龙眼。浙江产的猪品质较好，北方的猪不堪使用。我们杭州的燥肉就是用猪皮制成的，便于长途运输，入药尤为简便得当，不必拘泥于“皮”与“肤”的字面意思而穿凿附会地夸耀考据。
王孟英又说：以前老友范庆簪告诉钱雄说：解渴没有比得上猪肉汤的。凡是官炉银匠，每当酷暑时节，正是各县铸造奏销银两入库的时候，银炉最高，火光迎面照射，所以不是气血充足的人，不能从事这个行业。然而人受火热熏灼，口渴难解，必须吃猪肉，用急火煎出清汤，撇去浮油，用缸盛放待冷却后，当作茶饮用。钱雄听后领悟道：这种口渴是火热灼伤津液所致，不是喝茶能解决的。猪是水畜，肉质肥美，功效专门在于补水救液，确实不是瓜果可以比拟的。由此推及虚喘、虚闭、下损、难产等各种证候中缺乏津液的情况，无不投药即应验，这才知道猪肉是滋阴的妙品。
局医黄秀元有一位姓韩的朋友名叫名谅，他的儿媳怀孕时患热病，局里各位医生都担心胎死腹中，一律开具补血方剂。十天后，病情已垂危。家属请人求王孟英诊治，他说：胎儿早已腐烂，应当紧急攻下，或许还有一线希望，如果想保胎，我就不知道该怎么办了。家属极力恳求开方。于是用调胃承气汤合犀角地黄汤，加西洋参、麦冬、知母、石斛、牛膝服用，胎儿落下，果然已经臭烂，而患者的神志随即清醒，热势也逐渐缓解。接着给予西洋参、玄参、生地、知母、麦冬、丹参、丹皮、茯苓、山楂、石斛、豆卷、茺蔚子、琥珀等药调理，粥食每日增加，十天痊愈。
A young woman was in labor. Her amniotic sac ruptured prematurely, and the fetus was dry and could not be delivered. This is commonly known as "Li Sheng" (difficult birth due to premature rupture of membranes). Various parturition-inducing medicines were tried without success. Wang Mengying instructed them to buy one or two jin (approx. 500-1000g) of fresh pork, wash it clean, cut it into large chunks, and boil it rapidly over high heat to make a soup. After skimming off the floating oil, the patient was allowed to drink it freely. She delivered immediately, and both mother and child survived. He also stated: Pigs are water-dwelling animals; their meat is rich and nourishing, greatly tonifying Kidney Yin and generating body fluids. I have used it to treat Xiao Ke (Wasting-Thirst syndrome) caused by depletion of Kidney Water, and asthma/cough due to Yin deficiency with Yang hyperactivity, achieving miraculous effects. Zhang Zhongjing used Zhu Fu (Pig Skin) to treat Shaoyin throat pain, precisely for its ability to nourish Yin deficiency and subdue floating Yang. Later physicians failed to investigate this carefully and instead claimed it was a toxic substance. Wang Ang refuted this, which was correct. However, it should not be consumed by those recovering from exogenous pathogens, nor by those with deficiency-cold diarrhea or phlegm-dampness syndromes arising from excessive dampness. Its cloying and greasy nature is even more pronounced than that of Ejiao (Donkey-Hide Gelatin), Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmannia Root), and Long Yan Rou (Longan Aril). Pork from Zhejiang is of good quality, whereas northern pigs are unsuitable for use. The "Zao Rou" (Dried Meat) produced in our Hangzhou is made from pig skin, making it easy to transport over long distances and particularly convenient for medicinal use. One need not pedantically stick to the literal characters "Pi" (Skin) and "Fu" (Surface/Skin) to boast about textual research.
Wang Mengying further said: In the past, my old friend Fan Qingzan told Qian Xiong: "Nothing quenches thirst better than pork soup." Whenever silver smelters in government workshops worked during the intense summer heat—when counties were casting silver for tax remittances—the silver furnaces were highest, and the firelight shone directly on their faces. Therefore, only those with sufficient Qi and Blood could endure this profession. However, when the human body is scorched by fire, thirst becomes unbearable and cannot be relieved by tea alone. They must consume pork: boiled rapidly over high heat to extract a clear broth, skimmed of floating oil, stored in jars to cool, and drunk as tea. Upon hearing this, Qian Xiong realized: "This thirst is caused by fire scorching body fluids; it cannot be resolved by tea." Pigs are water animals, their meat is rich, and their function is specifically to replenish water and save fluids. Indeed, they cannot be compared to fruits and melons. Extending this logic to conditions such as deficiency-type asthma, deficiency-type constipation, lower jiao damage, and difficult birth where fluid deficiency is present, every application yielded immediate results. Thus, it became known that pork is a wonderful product for nourishing Yin.
Huang Xiuyuan, a physician at the bureau, had a friend surnamed Han named Mingliang. His daughter-in-law suffered from a febrile disease while pregnant. All physicians at the bureau feared fetal loss and uniformly prescribed blood-tonifying formulas. Ten days later, her condition became critical. The family sought Wang Mengying's consultation. He said: "The fetus has already decomposed. It is advisable to urgently purge it; there may be a chance of survival. If you wish to preserve the fetus, I do not know how to help." The family earnestly requested a prescription. He therefore administered Tiao Wei Cheng Qi Tang (Regulate the Stomach and Purge the Intestines Decoction) combined with Xi Jiao Di Huang Tang (Rhinoceros Horn and Rehmannia Decoction), adding Xi Yang Shen (American Ginseng), Mai Dong (Ophiopogon Tuber), Zhi Mu (Anemarrhena Rhizome), Shi Hu (Dendrobium Stem), and Niu Xi (Achyranthes Root). The fetus was expelled and was indeed putrid. However, the patient's spirit cleared immediately, and the fever gradually subsided. Subsequently, he prescribed a formula containing Xi Yang Shen, Xuan Shen (Scrophularia Root), Sheng Di Huang (Rehmannia Root), Zhi Mu, Mai Dong, Dan Shen (Salvia Root), Dan Pi (Moutan Cortex), Fu Ling (Poria), Shan Zha (Hawthorn Fruit), Shi Hu, Dou Juan (Sojae Semen Praeparatum), Chong Wei Zi (Vernonia Seed), and Hu Po (Amber) to regulate her condition. Her intake of congee increased daily, and she recovered within ten days.
