亮卿先生的女儿,右眼红肿,感觉眼中像有饱胀感,眼睛才能睁开,饥饿时眼睛则无法睁开。这是疳积虚寒证。用夏枯草二钱,甘草、谷精草各一钱,香附一钱五分,煎汤服用。服四帖后病情安定。
侄孙少竹,是一名大学生,眼睛红肿胀痛。余云谷用治疗时行疾病(季节性流行病)的苦寒药剂给他服用,结果眼睛更加肿胀,且两侧太阳穴疼痛加剧。之前的药方中又加入石膏,不仅眼睛肿胀不消,头痛不止,而且导致全身胀闷,寝食俱废。我为他诊脉,脉象弦大但无力,于是使用蔓荆子、桑白皮、柴胡、香附、夏枯草、甘草、芽茶,服一帖后疼痛停止,两帖后肿胀消退,四帖后完全痊愈。
一位女仆,产后恶露不尽,腹部作痛,且因受风而咳嗽、呕吐、头晕,脚部麻木不知痛痒,也不能翻身侧卧。给予糖球子、紫苏、旋复花、乌药、五灵脂、茯苓、川芎、当归、泽兰叶、玄胡索,加砂糖,煎汤服用后腹痛停止,再服用则恶露下行,咳嗽呕吐皆愈。
上舍程好吾公的孙子,右耳后生了一个毒疮,肿痛,全身生出大泡疮,憎寒发热,给予金银花、当归尾、甘草、赤芍、连翘、僵蚕、大力子(牛蒡子)、玄参,两剂后消散。
华岳先生的母亲,五十多岁,向来小便短少。现在右侧背部锁骨(盐匙骨)旁有一点疼痛,夜间尤其疼痛,已经半个月,医治无效,辗转反侧加剧,随即右边手臂、肢节都胀痛,筋脉暴起,肌肉上生出红点子,两手脉象皆滑数,右尺脉软弱,这是湿热损伤筋脉而形成的痛痹,以东垣舒筋汤为主方,加羌活、升麻、桃仁、麻黄、红花、当归、防风、甘草、独活、猪苓、黄柏、防己、知母、黄连,两帖后疼痛减轻、肿胀消退,之后也不再复发。
The daughter of Mr. Liangqing presented with redness and swelling of the right eye, accompanied by a sensation of fullness in the eye, which was required for her to open it; when hungry, she could not open her eyes. This is a case of Gan accumulation (nutritional deficiency syndrome) with deficiency-cold. Prescribed: Prunellae Spica (Xiakucao) 2 qian, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao) and Speranskiae Semen (Gujingcao) each 1 qian, Cyperi Rhizoma (Xiangfu) 1.5 qian, decocted and taken orally. The condition stabilized after four doses.
Shaozhu, my nephew, a university student, suffered from redness and swelling of the eyes. Yu Yungu administered bitter-cold formulas intended for treating epidemic febrile diseases (Shi Ji). Consequently, the eye swelling worsened, and pain increased in both Taiyang regions (temples). Adding Gypsum Fibrosum (Shigao) to the previous prescription failed to reduce the eye swelling or headache; instead, it caused generalized abdominal distension and stuffiness, leading to loss of sleep and appetite. Upon pulse diagnosis, the pulse was wiry, large, yet forceless. I prescribed Vitex Fruit (Manjingzi), Mulberry Root Bark (Sangbaipi), Bupleuri Radix (Chaihu), Cyperi Rhizoma (Xiangfu), Prunellae Spica (Xiakucao), Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao), and young tea leaves. Pain ceased after one dose, swelling subsided after two doses, and complete recovery occurred after four doses.
A female servant, following childbirth, had incomplete lochia discharge, abdominal pain, and contracted wind, resulting in cough, vomiting, dizziness, numbness in the legs with loss of pain and temperature sensation, and inability to turn over. She was given Tangqiuzi (likely a local herb name, possibly referring to a specific fruit or seed preparation), Perillae Folium (Zisu), Inulae Flos (Xuanjinhua), Lysichitii Rhizoma (Wuyao), Trogopterori Faeces (Wulingzhi), Poria (Fuling), Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma (Chuanxiong), Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Danggui), Landolphiae Caulis (Zelan Ye - note: standard term usually refers to Panax Notoginseng rootlet or similar, here likely Zelan Ye/Leonurus Carpus Herba leaf contextually but kept as literal translation for accuracy to source), Corydalis Rhizoma (Yanhusuo), added with brown sugar, decocted and taken orally. Abdominal pain stopped after the first administration; upon further dosing, lochia flowed normally, and cough and vomiting resolved.
The grandson of Master Cheng Haowu, a Shangshe official, developed a toxic sore behind the right ear, characterized by swelling and pain. Large vesicular sores appeared all over the body, accompanied by aversion to cold and fever. Prescribed: Honeysuckle Flower (Jinyinhua), Angelicae Sinensis Radix Tail (Danggui Wei), Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao), Red Peony Root (Chishao), Forsythiae Fructus (Lianqiao), Bombyx Batryticatus (Jiangcan), Arctii Fructus (Niu Bang Zi / Dalizi), Scrophulariae Radix (Xuanshen). The condition resolved after two doses.
Madam Huayue, over fifty years old, had always experienced scanty urine. Currently, she experiences sharp pain at a point beside the right clavicle (salt spoon bone), worse at night, persisting for half a month. Previous treatments were ineffective, and the condition worsened with tossing and turning. Subsequently, swelling and pain spread to the right arm and joints, tendons became prominent, and red spots appeared on the muscles. Both hands showed slippery and rapid pulses, while the right Chi position was weak and soft. This was diagnosed as Bi syndrome (painful obstruction) caused by damp-heat injuring the tendons. The primary formula was Dongyuan’s Shujin Decoction, supplemented with Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix (Qianghuo), Cimicifugae Rhizoma (Shengma), Persicae Semen (Taoren), Ephedrae Herba (Mahuang), Carthami Flos (Honghua), Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Danggui), Saposhnikoviae Radix (Fangfeng), Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao), Angelicae Pubescentis Radix (Duohuo), Polyporus (Zhuling), Phellodendri Cortex (Huangbai), Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix (Fangji), Anemarrhenae Rhizoma (Zhimu), and Coptidis Rhizoma (Huanglian). After two doses, pain decreased and swelling subsided, with no recurrence thereafter.
