(毒蛇、蜈蚣咬伤)
疯犬咬伤,取明雄黄粉末五钱,去皮去尖的杏仁一百粒炒熟后研磨。每次服用二钱,用虎骨煎煮的酒送服,服完必定痊愈。外用此药敷于患处。毒蛇和蜈蚣咬伤,取明雄黄细末,用蒜捣烂后敷在伤口上。内服白芷护心散。
白芷(一两) 乳香(三钱) 雄黄(五钱) 甘草(五钱)
共研为细末,每次服用四钱,用清酒调匀后服用。
(野菌中毒)
误服砒霜毒,用小蓟根捣汁灌服。或者用金汁灌服。或者用明矾、大黄研为粉末,用新汲取的冷水调匀后灌服,以引起呕吐和腹泻为见效。野菌中毒也用金汁解毒,紫金丹效果也很好。
救治落水者,让患者横伏在水牛背上,沥出腹中的积水。如果没有牛,可以用凳子代替。随即用通天搐鼻散吹入鼻孔中,打出喷嚏则能救活。单独使用半夏末吹入鼻腔效果也很好。
(Bite of venomous snakes and centipedes)
For a mad dog bite, take five qian of refined Realgar powder (Xionghuang, 雄黄), and one hundred apricot kernels (Xingren, 杏仁) with skin and tips removed, stir-fried and ground. Take two qian per dose, delivered with wine decocted with tiger bone (Hugu, 虎骨). Upon completion of the dosage, recovery is certain. Externally, apply this paste to the affected area. For bites from venomous snakes and centipedes, use fine powder of refined Realgar (Xionghuang, 雄黄), applied topically after being mashed with garlic (Suan, 蒜). Internally, administer Baizhi Huxin San (Angelica Dahurica Heart-Protecting Powder).
Baizhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, 白芷) (one liang), Xiangru (Olibanum, 乳香) (three qian), Xionghuang (Realgar, 雄黄) (five qian), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 甘草) (five qian).
Grind all into a fine powder. Take four qian per dose, mixed with clear wine and ingested.
(Wild mushroom poisoning)
If arsenic poison (Pidu, 砒毒) is accidentally ingested, crush fresh small thistle root (Xiaojigen, 小蓟根) to extract juice and force-feed it. Alternatively, administer Jinzhi (Gold Juice, 金汁 - human fecal distillate). Or, mix Mingfan (Alumen, 明矾) and Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, 大黄) into powder, mix with freshly drawn cold water, and force-feed. Efficacy is indicated by vomiting and diarrhea. Wild mushroom poisoning is also treated with Jinzhi (Gold Juice, 金汁); Zijindan (Purple Gold Pill, 紫金丹) is also effective.
Rescue from hanging: Lower the body, untie the rope, and prepare a decoction of three qian of high-quality Rougui (Cinnamomi Cortex, 肉桂) for force-feeding.
Rescue from drowning: Lay the victim horizontally across the back of a water buffalo to drain water from the abdomen. If no buffalo is available, use a stool as a substitute. Subsequently, blow Tongtian Chubisan (Sky-Penetrating Nasal Snuff Powder, 通天搐鼻散) into the nostrils; revival occurs upon sneezing. Using Banxia powder (Pinelliae Rhizoma, 半夏) alone blown into the nose is also effective.
Nightmare-induced coma (Yanmeng, 魇梦): Blow Tongtiansan (Sky-Penetrating Powder, 通天散) into the nose, and additionally force-feed a decoction made of scallion white (Congbai, 葱白) and fresh ginger (Shengjiang, 生姜).
Zhuyazaojiao (Gleditsiae Sinensis Fructus, 猪牙皂角) [skin and membrane removed, one liang], Xixin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma, 细辛) [leaves removed], Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma, 半夏) [each five qian].
Grind into an extremely fine powder. Use one or two fen per application, blow into the nostrils; consciousness returns upon sneezing.
