孙熙宇四肢关节肿胀疼痛，痰多且伴有恶心呕吐，胸中气机不畅达，说话也不清晰流利。夜间梦境全是已故之人或荒野鬼魂追逐陪伴，精神凄惨恶劣，惊恐不安，并且出汗不止，饮食减少到原来的三分之一。远近的名医治疗超过一个月没有效果，恳请我为他诊治。诊察他的脉象，左手脉非常弱，这是因为汗出过多所致；右手脉滑大，这是由痰饮、湿热引起的。治疗方法应当采用补益和收敛的方法，之前的医生都当作风邪致病而使用疏散之法，这会耗泄元神，最终可能导致柔痓（一种以项背强直、角弓反张为特征的病症）。我给予人参、麦门冬、五味子、白芍药、当归、苡仁、陈皮、石斛、木瓜、甘草、白术、桂枝，服用此方后大汗得以收敛，神志稍微清醒，呕吐也停止了。只是依然不想进食，夜间梦境仍是与死人一同游荡作恶。于是改用配方：人参、黄芪、枸杞子、苡仁、白术各一钱五分，当归、远志、茯苓、木瓜、陈皮各一钱，甘草五分，水两盅，加入雄猪心血一枚，煎至八分，饮用此药，服用四帖后能够入睡，开始梦见活人，不再梦见死人。
爱泉，去年十月因伤风咳嗽，随即声音嘶哑，后来听到父亲去世过度忧伤，导致右侧身体无法贴席而睡。医生用滋阴降火的药剂治疗他，半年时间肌肉大幅消瘦，大便溏泻，饮食减少，咳嗽声哑加重，喉咙且疼痛。迎请我为他诊治，诊得六脉俱弦数，这是忧伤肺、思伤脾的症候，情况十分危急。给予白术、茯苓、陈皮、粉草、苡仁、桔梗、柴胡、桑白皮、酒炒白芍药、泽泻、麦芽、山楂，煎服一日，再改用荆芥、桔梗、玄参、甘草、茯苓、白芍、酒连、扁豆、山药、山楂、木通，服用此方后右侧身体可以睡觉了。最后改用参苓白术散加白芍药、乌梅、诃子、酒连、山楂，调理后痊愈。
Sun Xiyu suffered from swelling and pain in his limbs and joints, excessive phlegm, nausea, and vomiting. His chest felt obstructed with qi not flowing freely, and his speech was unclear and unsmooth. At night, he dreamed of being chased and accompanied by deceased persons or wild ghosts, leaving his spirit desolate and vile, filled with fear and unrest. He also sweated profusely without stopping, and his food intake decreased to two-thirds less than usual. Famous physicians from near and far treated him for over a month without effect, so they earnestly requested my treatment. Upon examining his pulse, the left hand pulse was very weak, due to excessive sweating. The right hand pulse was slippery and large, caused by phlegm-fluid retention, damp-heat, and dampness. The method should have been tonification and astringency. Previous doctors treated it as wind-pathogen and used dispersing methods, which drained his primordial spirit and risked causing Rou Zhi (a condition characterized by stiffness and spasms). I prescribed Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), Mai Men Dong (Ophiopogonis Tuber), Wu Wei Zi (Schisandrae Fructus), Bai Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Yi Yi Ren (Coicis Semen), Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Shi Hu (Dendrobii Caulis), Mu Gua (Chaenomelis Fructus), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), and Gui Zhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus). After taking this prescription, the profuse sweating was largely controlled, his mental clarity slightly improved, and vomiting stopped. However, he still had no appetite, and at night he continued to dream of wandering and acting wickedly with the dead. Therefore, I changed the formula to: Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), Huang Qi (Astragali Radix), Gou Qi Zi (Lycii Fructus), Yi Yi Ren (Coicis Semen), and Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) each 1.5 qian; Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Yuan Zhi (Polygalae Radix), Fu Ling (Poria), Mu Gua (Chaenomelis Fructus), and Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) each 1 qian; Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) 0.5 qian. Decocted with two cups of water and one heart blood of a male pig until reduced to 0.8 cup, and drunk. After four doses, he could sleep, began dreaming of living people, and no longer dreamed of the dead.
Ai Quan, in October of the previous year, contracted a common cold with cough, immediately followed by hoarseness. Later, upon hearing of his father's death, he suffered from excessive grief, resulting in an inability to lie on his right side while sleeping. Physicians treated him with formulas for nourishing yin and descending fire. For half a year, his muscles wasted significantly, his stool became loose, his food intake decreased, his cough and hoarseness worsened, and his throat became painful. He invited me to treat him. Examination revealed that all six pulses were wiry and rapid. This is a syndrome where sorrow injures the Lung and worry injures the Spleen, which is critically dangerous. I prescribed Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Fu Ling (Poria), Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Fen Cao (Licorice Root), Yi Yi Ren (Coicis Semen), Jie Geng (Platycodonis Radix), Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix), Sang Bai Pi (Mori Cortex), Jiu Chao Bai Shao Yao (Wine-fried Paeoniae Radix Alba), Ze Xie (Alismatis Rhizoma), Mai Ya (Hordei Fructus Germinatus), and Shan Zha (Crataegi Fructus), decocted and taken for one day. Then, I switched to Jing Jie (Schizonepetae Herba), Jie Geng (Platocodonis Radix), Xuan Shen (Scrophulariae Radix), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Fu Ling (Poria), Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Jiu Lian (Wine-processed Coptidis Rhizoma), Bian Dou (Vignae Seed), Shan Yao (Dioscoreae Rhizoma), Shan Zha (Crataegi Fructus), and Mu Tong (Akebiae Caulis). After taking this, he could sleep on his right side. Finally, I prescribed Shen Ling Bai Zhu San (Ginseng, Poria, and Atractylodes Macrocephala Powder) added with Bai Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Wu Mei (Mume Fructus), He Zi (Chebulae Fructus), Jiu Lian (Wine-processed Coptidis Rhizoma), and Shan Zha (Crataegi Fructus). He recovered after regulation.
