吴东渠,五十七岁,因为去年患疟疾,胸部痞闷胀满,肌肉大幅消瘦,又因连续服用攻伐药物过重,导致脾胃功能败坏,膝盖及脚跟脚踝皆浮肿,全身发热口渴,小便短少色赤,舌苔黄,舌中心焦黑干燥。误服寒凉药物后,大便连续腹泻五六次,眼睛无法睁开,手足无力,倦怠不想说话。我诊察其六部脉象均浮大,重按豁然空虚,饮食不进,这是中气大虚,元神即将脱失,非常危险。立即用人参、白术、茯苓、甘草、木香、葛根、酒炒白芍药,水煎服用。连续进服两剂后,才能睁开眼睛,逐渐能出声说话,后来用六君子汤去掉半夏,加入葛根、白扁豆、山药、藿香、薏苡仁、白芍药、石斛进行调理而痊愈。
吴西源的夫人因为没有孩子,多郁结,多思虑,肌肉逐渐消瘦,皮肤干燥皲裂,全身生疮,身体如火烧燎一般,胸膈胀痛并放射至背部,咳嗽不止。医治超过十个月,大家都认为是痨瘵(肺结核)不可治。得知我在程方塘家中,便迎接我去治疗,诊得右寸关脉均滑大有力,左脉弦数。我给予瓜蒌仁四钱,萝卜子、贝母、枳壳作为君药以调气化痰开郁,桑白皮、葶苈子、黄芩作为臣药以泻肺火,甘草、前胡作为使药,服用三十剂后痊愈,仍用千金化痰丸进行调理。向来每年到了冬天,就会咳嗽痰喘不能睡觉,从此以后遇到冬天痰不再复发。
Mr. Sun Dongsu's mother-in-law was six months pregnant when she contracted a wind-cold, resulting in cough, pulling pain in the abdomen, phlegm obstruction causing unclear voice, and dizziness. The pulse was slippery and rapid on the left; weak at the right Cun (Cun position), slippery at the Guan (Guan position); strong at the left Chi (Chi position), and weak at the right Chi. I prescribed Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Bei Mu (Fritillariae Bulbus), Fu Ling (Poria), Jie Geng (Platycodonis Radix), Sang Bai Pi (Mori Cortex), Zi Su (Perilla Folium), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix), and Qian Hu (Peucedani Radix). After four doses, the illness was cured.
Wu Dongqu, aged fifty-seven, had suffered from malaria the previous year, leading to chest fullness and distension, and significant muscle wasting. Because he had taken excessive purgative medicines, his Spleen and Stomach functions were damaged. His knees, heels, and ankles became edematous, with generalized fever, thirst, short and dark urine, yellow tongue coating, and a dry, burnt-coal-like center of the tongue. Mistakenly taking cold-natured medicines caused him to have diarrhea five or six times consecutively, unable to open his eyes, with weakness in hands and feet, and fatigue in speech. Upon examination, all six pulse positions were floating and large, but hollow upon deep pressure. He could not eat. This indicated severe deficiency of Middle Qi and impending collapse of Yuan Shen (Original Spirit), which was very alarming. I immediately prescribed Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), Fu Ling (Poria), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Mu Xiang (Aucklandiae Radix), Ge Gen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix), and wine-fried Bai Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), decocted in water. After two consecutive doses, he could open his eyes and gradually speak. Later, Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction) without Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma), plus Ge Gen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix), Bai Bian Dou (Dolichoris Semen), Shan Yao (Dioscoreae Rhizoma), Huo Xiang (Agastaches Herba), Yi Yi Ren (Coicis Semen), Bai Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), and Shi Hu (Dendrobii Caulis) were used for regulation until recovery.
Mrs. Wu Xiyuan, due to infertility, suffered from much depression and overthinking. Her muscles gradually wasted, skin became dry and cracked, sores appeared all over her body, her body felt like it was burning, and she experienced chest and diaphragm distending pain radiating to the back, along with incessant cough. After more than ten months of treatment, everyone believed it was Zhai Ji (Consumption/Tuberculosis) and incurable. Hearing that I was at Cheng Fangtang's residence, they invited me to treat her. The pulse was slippery, large, and forceful at the right Cun and Guan, and wiry and rapid on the left. I prescribed Gua Lou Ren (Trichosanthis Semen), four qian; Luo Bo Zi (Raphani Semen), Bei Mu (Fritillariae Bulbus), and Zhi Ke (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus) as Jun (Sovereign) herbs to regulate Qi, resolve phlegm, and relieve depression; Sang Bai Pi (Mori Cortex), Ting Li Zi (Lepidii Semen), and Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix) as Chen (Minister) herbs to clear Lung Fire; Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) and Qian Hu (Peucedani Radix) as Shi (Envoy) herbs. After thirty doses, she recovered, and was subsequently regulated with Qian Jin Hua Tan Wan (Thousand Golden Phlegm-Resolving Pill). Previously, every winter she would suffer from cough, phlegm, and asthma, unable to sleep. From then on, phlegm never recurred in winter.
