即人中白。
咸味，性平，无毒。若过量使用则有害。
【发明】人中白能清泻肝火、膀胱之火，使邪气从小便排出。因为膀胱是其原本的排泄通道。如今人们治疗口舌各种疮疡时使用此药有效，这是其降火功效的验证；但积存的污垢残渣仅能清除热邪，几乎没有滋阴的功效。
咸味，性温，无毒。阴炼淡秋石的方法：取一只大缸，在靠近底部约三寸处，用艾火烧三十多炷香的时间，烧穿打成一个孔，用杉木塞住。在秋季采集童尿倒入缸内，注入河水搅拌，待沉淀澄清后，拔掉木塞，放掉上层的水，每天增加童便和河水，像之前那样搅拌，只保留缸底的部分，积累一个多月后，用绢布衬纸过滤沥干后收存。另一种阴收秋石的方法：取数十枚铅球大小的铅块，每块由两片合成，钻许多小孔放入尿桶中浸泡，每天倒掉陈尿，换入新尿浸泡，经过一个秋季收取，放入铅罐中藏好，这种方法最好。阳炼秋石的方法：取数百只草鞋，旧的更好，在流动的水中漂洗晾晒七天，去掉黄色，放入尿桶中，白天日晒晚上浸泡一个月左右，晒干后，在烈日下烧成灰，必须频繁翻动，使其烧尽，用滚水淋滤出汁液，澄清几天，在锅内烧干，再加雨水煮溶，用竹篾衬纸多层过滤干净，再澄清半个月以上，在银罐内煮干，颜色白如霜，用铅罐收存。又一种阳炼法：将童子小便放入锅中熬干，锅先烧得通红，用香油熬过洗净，这样就不会粘滞伤锅，初时像油脚一样，放入熔化的锡罐或小铁釜中，烧得通红，用热水溶化，放在有嘴的壶中将壶口用草掩塞，慢慢倾倒出来，下面用竹片衬纸过滤澄清，再用小火收干，用铅罐收存则不会熔化。又炼秋冰的方法：将秋石放入秋露水中煮化，放入熔化的锡罐内，用新铁盏盖好，用盐泥密封固定，升炼三炷香的时间取出再研磨，像之前那样升炼，铁盏内用水慢慢涂抹，水不可多，多了就不凝结；也不可少，少了就不能升华，从辰时到未时退火冷却定形，铁盏上升起的就是秋冰，这是秋石的精华，是治疗真虚羸弱的神丹。凡是人力制造的药，往往多有假冒，而真正的秋石尤其不易得到。有用食盐过滤水煮成的，有用朴硝溶化制造的，有用焰硝熔化倾铸成锭状的，造假的方法不一，如果不是雇佣工匠监督制作，总难以轻易使用。测试真伪的方法：放入滚开的豆腐浆中，不结成豆腐花的为真品。如果结块的就是食盐假冒的，入口令人口渴。放入滚开的豆腐浆中起水纹且微苦的，就是玄明粉假冒的，入腹令人腹泻。那些倾铸成锭状放入热水中不易融化的，就是焰硝假冒的，咽下令人发热。又将秋石化成水，放入青菜叶中片刻后颜色不枯萎的为真品。又将少许放入眼中不涩痛的必为真品无疑。那淡秋石放入滚水中不融化的，就是熟石膏末及滑石末混充的。
【发明】秋石以“秋”命名，专门取秋季之气下降的意思，其他时候制作的功力则不同。制作方法：用童尿炼制，去除其咸寒之性，转变成温补之效。能滋阴降火而不伤胃，补益下元真火，散瘀血助阴精，降邪火归真阳。是治疗虚热咳嗽吐血、骨蒸劳瘵的仙品。火盛者宜用生品或淡制品。阴虚者宜用熟品或咸制品。凡是劳瘵患者阴火亢极而不能耐受人参等补益药物的，立秋石丸三方依次施治，无论是服用还是含服，都能使喘咳气息逐渐平稳，痰也容易咳出，咳嗽也省力，因为其性味咸降而没有上逆的祸患。先用韭菜汁炒黑的大黄净末与秋石等分，煮红枣肉做成药丸，空腹服用三钱，清热散血。其次用贝母、秋石末等分，生甘草末减半，仍用红枣肉做成药丸，服用以止咳消痰。最后用人参、秋石等分，炙甘草末减半，也用枣肉做成药丸，以补气安神。制剂的多少，根据瘀热元气的情况而定，不能用固定的分量限制。其中阴炼的淡秋石性质最下沉渗透，如果不是阴分热极，难以轻易投用。阴虚多火、小便频数、精气不固的人误服会令人小便失禁，甚至梦遗。咸味的可以代替盐蘸食物吃，对于喘咳烦渴不得睡眠的人，用半钱匙冲开水服用，就能安睡。醒来时满口生津，也不觉得口渴，其补阴的功效可知。阴炼淡秋石，治疗夏季暑热引起的淋证，小便不通以及浊淋、沙石淋、肉淋、老人绝欲太早导致的小便淋沥涩痛，一服药就见效。
Jinrenbai (Human Urine Deposit).
Salty, neutral in nature, non-toxic. Overuse is harmful.
[Invention] Jinrenbai can purge Liver Fire and Bladder Fire, allowing pathogens to exit via urination, as the Bladder is its original pathway. Currently, it is effective in treating various sores of the mouth and tongue, which verifies its fire-reducing efficacy; however, accumulated dirt residue only clears heat and lacks any yin-nourishing function.
Salty, warm in nature, non-toxic. Method for Yin-refined Light Qiushi: Take a large vat, burn about thirty moxa sticks near the bottom at approximately three cun to create a hole, and plug it with a fir wood stopper. In autumn, collect child's urine into the vat, mix with river water, let settle and clarify, remove the wood stopper, drain the upper water, add fresh child's urine and river water daily, stirring as before, retaining only the sediment at the bottom. After accumulating for over a month, filter through silk cloth lined with paper, drain, and store. Another method for Yin-collected Qiushi: Take dozens of lead balls the size of a fist, each made of two halves, drill many small holes, and soak them in a urine bucket. Discard old urine daily and replace with fresh urine. Collect after an autumn cycle and store in a lead jar; this is the best method. Method for Yang-refined Qiushi: Take hundreds of straw sandals, preferably old ones, rinse and sun-dry in running water for seven days to remove yellow color, then soak in a urine bucket. Sun-dry by day and soak by night for about a month, dry thoroughly, burn to ash under intense sunlight while frequently turning to ensure complete combustion, leach with boiling water, clarify for several days, boil dry in a pot, dissolve again with rainwater, filter through multiple layers of bamboo strips lined with paper, clarify for another half month, boil dry in a silver pot until white as frost, and store in a lead jar. Another Yang-refining method: Boil child's urine in a pot until dry. The pot must be heated red-hot first, cleaned with sesame oil to prevent sticking and damage. Initially resembling oil dregs, place in a molten tin pot or small iron cauldron, heat until red-hot, dissolve with hot water, pour slowly from a spouted pot plugged with grass, filter clearly through bamboo lined with paper below, reduce to dryness over gentle heat, and store in a lead jar to prevent melting. Method for refining Qiubing (Autumn Ice): Dissolve Qiushi in dew collected in autumn, place in a molten tin pot, cover with a new iron lid, seal tightly with salt mud, sublimate for the duration of three incense sticks, remove, grind, and sublimate again as before. Apply water slowly to the lid; too much water prevents crystallization, too little prevents sublimation. Cool down from Chen hour to Wei hour. The substance rising on the lid is Qiubing, the essence of Qiushi, a divine elixir for true deficiency and emaciation. Medicines manufactured artificially are often counterfeit, and genuine Qiushi is particularly hard to obtain. Some are made by filtering and boiling rock salt, some by dissolving Mirabilite, some by melting Saltpeter and casting into ingots; counterfeits vary. Unless supervised by hired artisans, it is difficult to use safely. Test for authenticity: Place in boiling tofu brine. Genuine does not curdle tofu flowers; if it curdles, it is fake salt, causing thirst upon ingestion. If it creates ripples and tastes slightly bitter, it is fake Xuanmingfen (Mirabilite), causing diarrhea. Ingots that do not dissolve easily in hot water are fake Saltpeter, causing fever upon swallowing. Dissolve Qiushi in water and put vegetable leaves in it; if they remain fresh after a moment, it is genuine. Put a small amount in the eye; if there is no astringency or pain, it is undoubtedly genuine. Light Qiushi that does not dissolve in boiling water is mixed with Gypsum Fibrosum powder or Talcum powder.
[Invention] Qiushi is named "Qiushi" (Autumn Stone) specifically to take the meaning of autumn energy descending; preparations made at other times have different efficacies. Preparation method: Refine using child's urine to remove its salty-cold nature, transforming it into a warm-tonic effect. It nourishes yin and reduces fire without damaging the Stomach, tonifies the True Fire of the Lower Yuan, dissipates blood stasis, assists yin essence, descends pathogenic fire, and returns true yang. It is a celestial product for treating deficiency-heat coughing blood and bone-steaming consumption. For excess fire, raw or light forms are suitable. For yin deficiency, cooked or salty forms are suitable. For consumption patients with extreme hyperactive yin-fire who cannot tolerate tonics like Ginseng, administer the three formulas of Qiushi Pills sequentially. Whether taken orally or held in the mouth, wheezing and coughing will gradually stabilize, phlegm will be easier to expectorate, and coughing will require less effort, due to its salty-descending nature preventing upward rebellion. First, use equal parts of Rhizoma Allii Tuberosi-fried black Radix et Rhizoma Coptidis (or similar herb context implies clearing heat/blood, here text says Da Huang - Rhizoma Rhei) pure powder and Qiushi, formed into pills with Red Date flesh, taken empty stomach, 3 qian, to clear heat and dissipate blood stasis. Second, use equal parts of Fructus Trichosanthis and Qiushi powder, with half the amount of raw Radix Glycyrrhizae powder, formed into pills with Red Date flesh, to stop cough and eliminate phlegm. Finally, use equal parts of Radix Ginseng and Qiushi, with half the amount of honey-fried Radix Glycyrrhizae powder, also formed into pills with date flesh, to tonify qi and calm the spirit. The dosage depends on blood stasis, heat, and yuan qi, and should not be limited by fixed weights. Yin-refined light Qiushi has the most sinking and penetrating nature; unless there is extreme heat in the yin level, it should not be used lightly. Those with yin deficiency, excessive fire, frequent urination, and insecure essence who take it by mistake may suffer urinary incontinence or nocturnal emission. Salty Qiushi can be used instead of salt to dip food. For those with wheezing, coughing, irritability, thirst, and insomnia, take half a teaspoon dissolved in boiling water to achieve sleep. Upon waking, saliva fills the mouth without thirst, demonstrating its yin-nourishing power. Yin-refined light Qiushi treats summer-heat damp-heat strangury, urinary obstruction, turbid strangury, sand-stone strangury, fleshy strangury, and dribbling painful urination in the elderly due to premature abstinence, showing immediate effect with one dose.
