我阅读过许多外科书籍。但寻求那些能剖析阴阳、辨别寒热，且简明扼要的书，没有比得上这一本的了。《灵枢·痈疽篇》条理头绪繁多，学识浅薄的人难以识别；《金匮要略》只列出了疮痈和肠痈两种，大意是以深浅来区分阴阳，但其旨意并未充分阐发。后人钻研无门，于是偏离了正道。王氏独自掌握绝学，启发灵感与扁鹊的医术，挽救垂危，其功劳巨大啊。嘉定的王氏校刊本，在鄂中再次刻印，其中论证相互参照，不便阅读，家弟王器之，从事此道多年，曾为此区分门类，颇有增删字句，世人称为善本。随后长洲蒋氏在苏州城刻印，伯寅弟在北京翻刻，鄂中还没有这个版本。我既然刊印各种医书完成，就急忙付梓，以广泛流传。

这部书是林屋散人拿出他家传的枕中秘术，不是为了自私自利的谋划，而是急切地把救人为急务。呕出心肝，尽情揭露。用阴阳来辨别痈和疽的区别，用赤白来明确阴阳的表现，确实能弥补古代方书的不足。它的言辞简练，方法容易，即使是不懂医学的人，也能开卷在心目中了然清楚。往年我患骨槽风（下颌骨骨髓炎），医生投用散风清火的药物，几乎到了危险的地步，得到这本书照着治疗才痊愈。我非常相信它，此后凡是亲友间遇到有瘰疬（颈部淋巴结结核）、痰核、流注（多发性肌肉深部脓肿）、背痈以及一切阴证重症，都告诉他们照着方子施治，没有不立即见效的，我更加相信它。最近胡氏外孙女左大腿疼痛，脚不着地一年多了。既觉得患处漫肿坚硬，而皮色如故，这是书中所谓的贴骨疽无疑了。也照着方子投以煎剂丸散，不到一百天就溃破且愈合了。我唯独因为深信它，而尤其希望人们共同相信它，只可惜坊间版本多有亥豕（文字错误）之误，正谋求订正重刊，广泛流布，外孙女欣然解囊出资，交给我并请求这样做。恰逢王君荆门，曾有勘定本极其精审，于是交付刻印。凡人有所乐于做的，都是根源于内心。而他的心专一于公道的，世间不常见到，林屋散人写这部书，可以说是公道的极致了。现在又凭借王君善于校对的版本行世，使得观看这部书的人，人人都懂医学，难道不是件大快人心的事吗？外孙女年龄不到十五岁，聪慧知书，我赞赏她信仰道的坚定，向善的真诚，因此记下刊刻的始末，简要写几句话在书的前面。
道光辛丑年六月子仁氏黄 序
这部书是林屋散人怜悯人们混淆称呼痈疽，不知道痈和疽的治疗方法大相悬殊，这辨析痈就是痈，疽就是疽，在古代方书未备而独得行的秘密传授，一一开出方子济世，不让后人以讹传讹，千古竟然如同长夜。并不是说这本书一出，诸多方书就可以全部废弃。凡是与世间医治法没有异同的不记载，古方书都在，可以遍观而博取。只是读者好学深思，心里明白它的意旨罢了。
子仁氏九月朔日又记
I have read many surgical texts. However, in seeking those that analyze Yin and Yang (Yin-Yang), differentiate cold and heat patterns, and are concise and essential, none surpass this book. The *Ling Shu: Carbuncle and Ulcer Chapter* contains numerous details, making it difficult for scholars with shallow learning to identify the key points; the *Jin Gui Yao Lue* only lists two types: sores/abscesses (Chuang Yong) and intestinal abscesses (Chang Yong), primarily distinguishing Yin and Yang by depth, yet its principles are not fully expounded. Later generations, unable to delve into it properly, deviated from the correct path. Master Wang alone mastered unique knowledge, inspiring insights akin to Ling Qi and Bian Que, rescuing critical cases, his merit being immense. The Jia Ding edition printed by the Wang family was reprinted in E Zhong, but its cross-referenced arguments were inconvenient to read. My younger brother, Qi Zhi, having practiced this field for years, had previously categorized them, adding and deleting characters, resulting in a version praised as excellent by the world. Subsequently, the Jiang family of Chang Zhou printed it in Suzhou City, and my brother Bo Yin reprinted it in the capital; E Zhong still lacks this edition. Since I have finished printing various medical books, I hurriedly put this one to press to facilitate its widespread dissemination.
Pan from Wu County
This compilation is the "Secret Treasure from the Pillow" (Zhen Zhong Mi) passed down in Lin Wu San Ren's family, not for selfish gain, but urgently prioritizing saving people. He reveals his heart and liver, exposing everything openly. By using Yin and Yang to distinguish between carbuncles (Yong) and ulcers (Ju), and by using redness and whiteness to clarify their manifestations, it truly supplements what ancient formula books lacked. Its language is simple, its methods easy to follow, so that even those unfamiliar with medicine can understand it clearly upon opening the book. In previous years, I suffered from bone trough wind (Gu Cao Feng, osteomyelitis of the mandible). Physicians administered herbs to disperse wind and clear fire, bringing me near death. It was only after obtaining this book and treating according to it that I recovered. I trusted it greatly. Thereafter, whenever relatives or friends encountered scrofula (Luo Li, cervical lymphadenitis), phlegm nodules (Tan He), flowing deposits (Liu Zhu, multiple deep muscle abscesses), back carbuncles (Bei Yong), or all other severe Yin-type diseases, I advised them to treat according to the formulas, without exception achieving immediate effects, which further strengthened my faith. Recently, Hu's granddaughter suffered pain in her left thigh, unable to touch the ground with her foot for over a year. She felt the affected area was diffusely swollen and hard, while the skin color remained unchanged. This is undoubtedly the "bone-adhering ulcer" (Tie Gu Ju) described in this book. Treating her again with decoctions, pills, and powders according to the formulas, she ulcerated and healed within less than a hundred days. Because I trust it deeply, I especially wish for others to share this trust. Alas, commercial editions are rife with textual errors. Just as I planned to correct and reprint it for wide distribution, my granddaughter willingly contributed funds, handing them to me and requesting this action. Fortunately, Mr. Wang Jing Men possessed a highly accurate collated edition, so I entrusted it to the printers. Whatever people are eager to do stems from their hearts. A heart dedicated solely to public good is rarely seen in the world. Lin Wu San Ren's writing of this book can be said to be the ultimate expression of public spirit. Now, with Mr. Wang's excellent collated edition circulating, allowing every reader to understand medicine, would this not be a great joy? My granddaughter is under fifteen, intelligent and literate. I appreciate her firm faith in the Dao and her sincere desire for goodness. Therefore, I record the details of this publication and write a few words at the beginning.
Huang Zi Ren, Preface, Sixth Month of Xinchou Year, Daoguang Era
This book arises from Lin Wu San Ren's pity for people confusing the terms "carbuncle" (Yong) and "ulcer" (Ju), unaware that their treatment methods differ vastly. This text clarifies that a carbuncle is a carbuncle and an ulcer is an ulcer, providing secret teachings not found in ancient formula books, prescribing formulas to save the world, preventing later generations from spreading errors, leaving millennia in darkness. It does not mean that once this book is published, all other formula books should be discarded. Formulas identical to those widely used in contemporary medicine are not recorded, as ancient texts are available for comprehensive study and selection. It merely requires readers to love learning, think deeply, and comprehend the meaning in their minds.
