吉云旅钞∶穿肠瓜乃大便解出甜瓜子，生苗结实，土人名粪甜瓜，不拘大小，皆可入药。
采
来晒干，新瓦焙焦为末，乳钵研极细，摊地上，出火毒，收贮听用。但此瓜不易有，须以人
力制造，其法∶将烂熟甜瓜与七、八岁小儿空心带子食之，令其勿嚼碎子，次日解出大便，
子裹粪内，带粪曝干，时早即于本年下出；倘时晚不及生瓜，花亦可用，否则藏于次年下种
更好。大人便出者，子亦可种。此瓜生在夏秋，若春冬要用，必须预备。

此药与服，三日即愈。求其方，送洋布十匹、黄金五两，始得此方，用无不效。
《吉云旅钞》记载：穿肠瓜是从大便中排出的甜瓜子，能生根发芽、结出果实，当地人称之为“粪甜瓜”，无论大小，都可以入药。
采集后晒干，用新瓦焙焦研成粉末，放入乳钵中研磨至极细，摊在地上以散发火气（去火毒），然后收藏备用。但这种瓜不容易自然获得，需要人工制造。方法是：将烂熟的甜瓜与七八岁儿童空腹连子吞食，嘱咐其不要嚼碎瓜子，第二天排出大便时，瓜子包裹在粪便中，带着粪便晒至干燥，若在当年播种时节之前取出即可种植；如果时间较晚来不及长出瓜，使用其花也可以，否则留到次年下种更好。成年人排便排出的瓜子也可以种植。这种瓜生长在夏秋季节，若春冬需要使用，必须提前预备。
治疗痔疮瘘管：《吉云旅钞》记载有秘密传授的消痔神方，不论病程长短的痔疮瘘管，服用三剂即可除根。用法是：将穿肠焙存性（保留药物固有性质）研末，每取药末一两，加入蝉蜕末三钱五分；用金银花五钱，浸泡在一斤酒中一至两天，煎煮数滚，调匀药末，每次服用二钱七分，空腹时用金银花酒送服。外用白海南花及其根叶煎汤，不时先熏后洗，三天即可痊愈。海南花在春冬季没有新鲜的，需预先收集阴干备用。大概痔疮瘘管是由于大肠郁积之火，脏腑积热，发作时表现为肿胀、疼痛、疮疡，日久形成瘘管。现在用此药来散火解毒，去除积滞和壅塞，瘘管自然消退，不问新旧，屡试屡验。忌房事、恼怒以及煎炒辛辣等发物，百日之后永不再发。此方传自西洋僧人，曾有洋客商患痔疮瘘管疼痛剧烈，无法登上海船，僧人拿出此药让他服用，三天即愈。求得此方时，赠送了十匹洋布、五两黄金，才得到此方，使用无不奏效。
这是乡野村落桑树及屋篱上悬挂的经霜打的丝瓜，其种子名为乌牛子。

*Jiyun Lüchao* records: Chuanxiang Gua (Penetrating Intestine Melon) refers to sweet melon seeds excreted in the feces, which can sprout and bear fruit. Locals call it "Fen Tian Gua" (Feces Sweet Melon). Regardless of size, it can be used as medicine.
After collection, dry it in the sun, roast it until scorched on new tiles, grind into powder, and pulverize extremely finely in a mortar. Spread it on the ground to dissipate "fire toxicity" (residual heat from processing), then store for use. However, this melon is difficult to obtain naturally and requires artificial production. The method is as follows: Feed a ripe, over-matured sweet melon with seeds to a seven- or eight-year-old child on an empty stomach, instructing them not to chew the seeds. The next day, when defecating, the seeds will be wrapped in the feces. Dry the feces with the seeds inside. If harvested before the planting season of that year, they can be sown immediately; if too late to grow melons, the flowers can also be used. Otherwise, storing them for sowing the following year is better. Seeds excreted by adults can also be planted. This melon grows in summer and autumn; if needed in spring or winter, preparation must be made in advance.
Treating hemorrhoids and fistulas: *Jiyun Lüchao* records a secret formula for eliminating hemorrhoids, effective for both chronic and recent cases after three doses. Preparation: Roast Chuanxiang Gua until it retains its medicinal properties ("cun xing"), grind into powder. For every one tael of this powder, add 3.5 qian of cicada slough powder. Soak five qian of Honeysuckle Flower (*Jinyinhua*) in wine for one to two days, boil briefly, mix with the powder. Take 2.7 qian per dose, administered on an empty stomach with Honeysuckle-infused wine. Externally, decoct the flowers and leaves of White Hainan Flower (*Bai Hainan Hua*) and roots in water. Use for fumigation and washing intermittently; healing occurs within three days. Fresh White Hainan Flowers are unavailable in spring and winter, so they should be collected and shade-dried in advance. Hemorrhoidal fistulas are caused by stagnant fire in the large intestine and accumulated heat in the zang-fu organs, manifesting as swelling, pain, and ulcers, eventually forming fistulous tracts. This medication disperses fire, clears toxicity, removes stagnation and obstruction, causing the tracts to recede spontaneously. It is effective regardless of duration. Avoid sexual activity, anger, and pungent/spicy fried foods that may trigger flare-ups. After one hundred days, recurrence is prevented. This formula was transmitted from a Western monk. A foreign merchant suffered severe hemorrhoidal pain, unable to board a ship. The monk provided this medicine, resulting in cure within three days. In exchange for the formula, ten bolts of foreign cloth and five taels of gold were given. It proved universally effective.
