小儿斑疹，世皆根据钱氏法治之，此不必赘。但黑泡斑及缩陷等证，古今治之，未得其法，以为火而用凉药
治者，十无一生。盖此乃污血逆于皮肤，凝滞不行，久则攻心而死。黄帝正法，用霹雳汤、姜附汤。凡多死之
证，但用此法，常有得生者。盖毒血死于各经，决无复还之理。唯附子健壮，峻走十二经络，故用此攻之，十
中常生八九。于脐下一寸，灸五十壮，则十分无事。若以凉药凝冰其血，致遍身青黑而死，此其过也。世俗凡
遇热证，辄以凉药投之，热气未去，元气又漓，此法最不良。余每遇热证，以知母五钱煎服，热即退，元气无
损，此乃秘法。（钱氏之法，后世儿医咸遵守之，以五行五色而分五脏之证，以顺逆险而为难易不治之条，所
用之药不过温平无奇，阳热之逆诚可救全，阴寒之逆，百无一愈。其后陈氏虽云得法，十中或救一二，不若先
生之论，阐千古之秘奥，为救逆之神枢。儿医苟能奉行，自然夭枉者少矣。每见世俗一遇逆证，勿论阴阳，辄
云火闭，石膏、黄连、大黄用之不厌，人皆信之，至死不悔。近时费氏《救偏琐言》一出，庸子辄又奉为典型。
在证药相合者，虽偶活其一二，而阴寒之证，亦以其法治之，冤遭毒害者，不知凡几矣。）

小儿斑疹，世人通常都依据钱乙的医法来治疗，这里就不必多说了。但是像黑泡斑以及痘疹收缩凹陷等证候，古今医生治疗时都没有找到正确的方法，误认为是火毒而使用寒凉药物治疗的，十个人中没有能救活一个的。这是因为污浊之血逆乱于皮肤，凝滞不通，时间久了就会攻心导致死亡。黄帝正统的治疗方法，是使用霹雳汤、姜附汤。凡是这种死亡率很高的证候，只要采用这种方法，常常能够救活患者。这是因为毒血已经死在各条经络中，绝对没有再恢复的道理。只有附子药性健壮，能迅猛通行十二经络，所以用此药来攻逐毒邪，十次治疗常能救活八九人。在脐下一寸处（神阙穴），艾灸五十壮，就能完全无碍。如果用寒凉药物使血液像结冰一样凝滞，导致全身青黑而死，这是医生的过错。世俗之人凡是遇到热证，就立即投以寒凉药物，热气尚未去除，元气又已耗损，这种方法最不好。我每次遇到热证，用知母五钱煎服，热势随即消退，且元气不受损伤，这是我的秘法。（钱乙的医法，后世的儿科医生都严格遵守，根据五行五色来区分五脏的证候，根据顺逆险恶程度作为判断难易及不治的标准，所使用的药物不过温和平稳并无奇特之处，阳热之逆确实可以救治保全，但阴寒之逆，百无一愈。后来陈氏虽然声称得到了真法，十人中或许能救活一两个，也不如先生的论述，阐发了千古的秘密奥妙，是救治逆证的枢纽。儿科医生如果能奉行此法，自然夭折枉死者就少了。常见世俗之人一遇到逆证，不论阴阳，就说是火闭，石膏、黄连、大黄用得不知疲倦，人们都相信它，至死不悔改。近来费氏《救偏琐言》一书一出，庸医们又奉为典型。在证候与药物相合的情况下，虽然偶尔救活一两个人，但对于阴寒的证候，也用它的方法来治疗，冤遭毒害的人，不知有多少了。）
(Referring to smallpox)
For infantile macules and rashes, the world generally follows the treatment methods of Qian Yi (Qian Zhizheng), so there is no need to elaborate here. However, for conditions such as black blistering rashes and retracted/depressed lesions, ancient and modern physicians have not found the correct method. Those who mistakenly consider them as fire-toxin and use cold/cooling medicines to treat them rarely survive (less than one in ten). This is because foul blood reverses into the skin, stagnates and fails to circulate; if prolonged, it attacks the heart leading to death. The orthodox method of the Yellow Emperor involves using Pili Tang (Thunderbolt Decoction) and Jiangfu Tang (Ginger and Aconite Decoction). For any condition with a high mortality rate, employing this method often results in survival. Since the toxic blood has perished within the various meridians, there is absolutely no possibility of recovery. Only Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) possesses robust properties and swiftly traverses the twelve meridians; therefore, using it to attack the pathogen yields a survival rate of eight or nine out of ten. Applying moxibustion at the point one cun below the umbilicus (Shenque, CV8) for fifty moxa cones ensures complete safety. If cold medicines are used, causing the blood to congeal like ice, resulting in the whole body turning blue-black and death, this is the fault of the physician. Laypeople, upon encountering heat syndromes, invariably administer cold medicines; the heat is not cleared, yet the primordial qi is depleted. This approach is most detrimental. Whenever I encounter heat syndromes, I prescribe Zhi Mu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma) five qian decocted and taken orally; the heat subsides immediately without damaging the primordial qi. This is my secret method. (The methods of Qian Yi are strictly adhered to by subsequent pediatricians, who differentiate organ syndromes based on the Five Elements and Five Colors, and categorize prognosis based on favorable/unfavorable and dangerous courses. The herbs used are merely mild and level, lacking uniqueness. While rebellious Yang-heat can indeed be saved, rebellious Yin-cold rarely recovers (one in a hundred). Although later Chen Shi claimed to have mastered the true method, saving only one or two out of ten, it does not compare to Mr. Dou's exposition, which elucidates ancient secrets and serves as the pivot for rescuing critical conditions. If pediatricians could follow this, premature deaths would naturally decrease. It is common to see that when laypeople encounter critical conditions, regardless of Yin or Yang, they claim it is "fire closure" and unceasingly use Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum), Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma), and Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma). People believe this and do not repent until death. Recently, with the publication of Fei Shi's *Jiu Pian Suoyan* (Brief Words on Correcting Deviations), quacks have adopted it as a model. Even when the syndrome and medicine match occasionally saving one or two, applying this method to Yin-cold syndromes has caused countless unjust victims.)
Infantile tidal fever occurring in the afternoon does not belong to deficiency syndromes; rather, it is caused by dietary injury to the Yangming Meridian. It must be accompanied by abdominal pain and vomiting/regurgitation. It is appropriate to use Laifu Dan (Reviving Elixir Pill) and Bichengqie San (Bi Cheng Qia Powder).
