以上每次服用二钱，加水煎服。
愚按：海藏先生曾说，身体后方出疹不畅，属于足太阳经病变，用荆芥、甘草、防风。身体前方出疹不畅，属于手阳明经病变，用升麻葛根汤。四肢出疹不畅，属于足阳明经病变，用防风芍药甘草汤。这些都是解毒升发的药剂，不可不知。
鼠粘子汤：治疗麻疹稠密、身热等病症。
炒鼠粘子、当归、炙甘草（各一钱）、柴胡、连翘、黄芩、黄芪（各一钱半）、地骨皮（二钱）。

愚按：前方剂，苦寒辛散，发散肌表，疏通五脏六腑的药剂。若是表里实热，烦躁喜冷饮，大便不通，小便秘结者，最适合使用。务必不可过量，恐怕再次损伤胃气而引发其他病症。若误用发汗则成斑烂，误用攻下则成虚脱。

愚按：前方剂最宜使用。若痘疹已出而饮食减少，宜用蜜炙大枣。幼儿闻到枣香，更能开胃气，促进饮食。解毒瓦斯，若因饮食停滞未及时消导，遂用此方，恐怕反而助长邪气，产生湿热，从而形成痘毒。

Commentary: The preceding formulas are bitter-cold and acrid-dispersing, acting to vent the exterior and unblock the internal organs. They are most suitable for excess heat in both interior and exterior, characterized by irritability, preference for cold drinks, constipation, and urinary retention. Do not overdose, lest stomach qi be further damaged and other syndromes arise. Improper use of diaphoresis may cause ulceration; improper use of purgatives may lead to collapse.

Burn coriander incense in the room to dispel foul qi and facilitate rapid eruption. Hanging the decocted coriander on the door is optimal.
Commentary: This formula is highly appropriate. If the rash has erupted but appetite is low, use honey-roasted jujubes. The scent of dates opens the stomach qi and promotes eating. Regarding detoxification, if food stagnation has not been resolved, using this formula may exacerbate evil qi, generating damp-heat and forming smallpox toxin.

Saposhnikovia root (Fangfeng, 防风), peony root (Shaoyao, 芍药), licorice (Gancao, 甘草) (equal parts).
Take 1 qian per dose, decoct in water, and administer.
Mahuang Gancao Tang (Ephedra and Licorice Decoction): Treats exterior excess with intense smallpox toxin.
Ephedra herb (Mahuang, 麻黄) (5 fen), raw licorice (Sheng Gancao, 生甘草) (3 fen).
Decoct in water and administer.
Qingfen San (Calomel Powder): Treats eye opacity during smallpox eruption.
Real calomel (Zhen Qingfen, 真轻粉), red lead (Huandan, 黄丹) (equal parts).
Grind finely. If left eye has opacity, blow into right ear; if right eye, blow into left ear. Additionally, powder equal parts velvet bean skin (Lvdou Pi, 绿豆皮), sparganium (Gujingcao, 谷精草), and white chrysanthemum (Baijuhua, 白菊花) (each 1 liang). Take 3 qian per dose with one dried persimmon, decocted in rice wash water until dry. Eat the persimmon without core, three times daily, anytime.
Yu Taihe, a Daoist alchemist from Chengdu, treated critical smallpox with black depression using one house spider (Xi Zhi, 喜蜘) the size of a mung bean, pounded. Dosage of realgar (Xionghuang, 雄黄): 1 li for 1-year-old, 2 li for 2-year-old, 1 qian for 10-year-old. Mix with spider, blend with a cup of strong liquor, and administer slowly. I believe this formula resembles the previous twelve-ingredient formula and the Eleven-Ingredient Yigong San. For yang deficiency-cold causing cold limbs, abdominal distension, blue lips, and black depression, use strong liquor. For primordial qi deficiency with pale color hiding in skin, aged wine is also suitable; do not restrict to strong liquor. For infants under one year, adjust dosage appropriately; do not restrict to cup measures. For dual blood-qii deficiency with dull red color, failure to erupt, or fright/grinding teeth, boil arnebia root (Zicao, 紫草) and safflower (Honghua, 红花) in aged wine until concentrated, decoct, and administer to preserve life. Practitioners must exercise judgment.
Baolong Wan (Embracing Dragon Pill): Treats phlegm-heat wheezing/cough, fever, fright/restlessness, and can induce smallpox eruption.
Arisaema with bile (Danning, 胆星), bamboo slime (Tianzhuhuang, 天竺黄), realgar (Xionghuang, 雄黄), cinnabar (Zhusha, 朱砂) (each 5 qian), musk (Shexiang, 麝香) (small amount).
Powder finely. Boil 1 liang of licorice in water for juice. Make pills. Each liang makes twenty pills. Dissolve in mint or centella water before administration.
Method for Preparing Arisaema: Take any amount of arisaema (Nanxing, 南星), wash with winter water in the twelfth lunar month, slice, dry, and powder. Mix with bile of a yellow ox. Fill the empty gallbladder shell with the mixture, tie shut, hang in a windy place to dry. Use only after one year.
Commentary: The preceding formulas clear heat, resolve phlegm, and regulate qi. Overdose damages spleen and lungs, worsening the condition or causing chest/abdominal distension and vomiting. Use Renshen Baizhu San (Ginseng and Atractylodes Powder) to tonify middle qi.
Wufu Huadu Dan (Five Blessings Detoxifying Pill): Treats fetal toxin and post-smallpox sores on head/face, eye swelling/pain.
Raw rehmannia root (Shengdihuang, 生地黄), prepared rehmannia root (Shudihuang, 熟地黄), heartless asparagus tuber (Tiandong, 天门冬), heartless ophiopogon tuber (Mendong, 麦门冬), scrophularia root (Xuanshen, 玄参) (each 3 liang), licorice (Gancao, 甘草), saltpeter (Tianxiao, 甜硝) (each 3 liang), indigo naturalis (Qingdai, 青黛) (1.5 liang).
Powder the ingredients. Make pills with refined honey the size of Chinese bayberry. Take one pill per dose, dissolve in warm water.
Commentary: This formula generates and cools blood, resolves toxins; it is a cold-natured agent. When used appropriately, it is highly effective, requiring only one or two pills.
Xijiao Jiedu Wan (Rhinoceros Horn Detoxifying Pill): Treats accumulated heat and post-smallpox/rubella sores from residual toxin.
Raw rehmannia root (Shengdihuang, 生地黄), saposhnikovia root (Fangfeng, 防风), angelica sinensis root (Danggui, 当归), rhinoceros horn shavings (Xijiao Xie, 犀角屑), schizonepeta herb (Jingjie, 荆芥) (each 1 liang), pounded and fried burdock fruit (Niubangzi, 牛蒡子), red peony root (Chishaoyao, 赤芍药), forsythia fruit (Lianqiao, 连翘), platycodon root (Jiegeng, 桔梗) (each 7 qian), mint (Bohe, 薄荷), fried scutellaria root (Huangqin, 黄芩), licorice (Gancao, 甘草) (each 5 qian).
Powder the ingredients. Make pills with refined honey the size of Chinese bayberry. Take one pill per dose with mint water.
Commentary: This formula clears heat, vents exterior, cools blood, breaks stasis, and detoxifies; it damages stomach qi. Do not exceed one or two doses. Generally, for smallpox toxin, refer to previous methods for cold water ingestion errors or Shaofen San treatment. Follow this pattern.
Baicao San (Decayed Grass Powder): Treats sores caused by excessive scratching of smallpox, with dripping pus and blood, termed "ban lan" (ulceration). Use rotten roof grass or wall-covering grass aged for years; wild grass is best if unavailable. Powder and apply externally.
Commentary: Some cases fail to heal due to blood/qi deficiency-heat. For widespread cases, sprinkle generously on mats for the child to sit/lie on; sores will heal.
Yanggan San (Sheep Liver Powder): Treats smallpox entering the eyes or innocent malnutrition affecting the eyes.
Centella leaf (Mimenghua, 蜜蒙花), cornel fruit (Qingzixian, 青箱子), cassia seed (Juemingzi, 决明子), fried plantago seed (Cheqianzi, 车前子).
Powder the ingredients. Mix 3 qian of mimenghua powder with 1 qian each of the others. Slice a large sheep liver thinly, sprinkle mixture on it, wrap in wet material, bake/cook, and eat on an empty stomach.
Commentary: For liver meridian wind-heat damaging blood, use this formula. For liver blood deficiency with wind agitation, use Siwu Tang (Four Substance Decoction) plus gardenia fruit (Shanzhi, 山栀), Uncaria hook (Gouteng, 钓藤钩), and moutan bark (Mudanpi, 牡丹皮). For liver blood deficiency generating wind or kidney water failing to nourish liver wood, use Liuwei Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill). For liver malnutrition, use Liuhuang Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill) to nourish liver/kidney, and Simei Fei'er Wan (Four-Ingredient Fattening Child Pill) plus ginseng and white atractylodes to tonify liver/spleen.
A child with smallpox developed eye opacity, fluctuating severity, unresponsive to opacity-clearing herbs. Pulse was wiry, thin, and rapid. This indicates liver-kidney malnutrition. I used...
