喜泰顺曰∶痘名贼者，多发于行浆之际，或四五日之期，或六七朝之期，气血
未曾交会，根窠未分阴阳，诸痘未曾灌汁，或于头面之上，或于腰背之间，三五六粒，
一二三粒，独贯充足，黄而出色，此贼痘也。贼痘一生，则诸痘不能贯汁，急以银
针挑破，毒虽出而毒犹在内，透肌发散，尤加解毒为良。
喜泰顺曰∶秘闷之痘，多发于肾。发热之时，即行腰痛腹疼，或两腿酸麻，不
能竖立，眼开谵语，口臭冲人。饮沸汤而不知热，饮冰水而不知寒，神气昏愦，点
如蚊迹，红而带紫，并无晕脚，隐隐皮肤。至二三日来，遍身发斑，或红或紫，重则
青蓝大斑。经曰∶胃烂发斑，脏腑亏损，何由而出，纵然出来，形如蚕种，如麸如痱，
如针如芥，无论皮肉一样通红，此名闷痘，断不可医。
喜泰顺曰∶夫 者，乃血之余也。有点而无头，粒与蚊迹相似，又同朱砂迹点
一般，杂夹其中，形如锦纹，多发于血热之证。书云∶红 易退，紫 难消。青蓝
之成大点大块状，如蛇伤流入阴中，不可治矣。如见细点红 ，即以黄连、紫草、
犀角、石膏等剂，频频进之，方可挽回于十一。不然先红后紫，痘必干枯倒陷，变证频加，无药可治。
喜泰顺曰∶夫泡者，乃气之余也。书曰∶气过则泡，血过则 。多见于发起之
期，又见于皮薄之证。而上痘不起发而遍身间必有水泡，大而且亮，如汤泼火烧之
状，或紫或黑，刺破出水，有出紫血者，见此俱不能生。大抵皆属肝木，肝火重则激
成水泡，药宜泻肝行气之剂，泡消痘起，人事安宁，饮食渐进，方得全生。若见气急
腹胀，黄泉在迩，失声凄凄，阳数无几。
喜泰顺说：被称为“贼痘”的痘疮，大多发生在行浆阶段，或者在发病后的四五日、六七日的时期。此时气血尚未交会融合，痘根未分阴阳，各颗痘疹尚未灌满脓汁。有时出现在头面部，有时出现在腰背部，数量不多，仅三五粒或一二三粒，却单独饱满充实，颜色黄亮出色，这就是贼痘。一旦生出贼痘，其他痘疹就无法灌满脓汁。应当紧急用银针挑破，虽然毒邪可随针孔排出，但毒邪仍留在体内，因此治疗应以透肌发散为主，并特别加强解毒之法，这才是良策。
喜泰顺说：秘闷之痘，多发生于肾脏相关部位。在发热的时候，立即出现腰痛腹痛，或者双腿酸麻，无法直立站立，眼睛睁开却胡言乱语，口臭冲人。喝滚烫的水却不知道热，喝冰水却不知道寒，神志昏沉糊涂，痘点像蚊迹一样，红色中带紫色，没有红晕边缘，隐隐约约在皮肤下。到了二三日，全身发出斑疹，有的红有的紫，严重的呈青蓝色大斑。医经说：胃烂发斑，脏腑亏损，毒邪从何而出？即使出来，形状像蚕种，像麸皮，像痱子，像针尖，像芥菜籽，无论皮肉是否一样通红，这都称为闷痘，绝对不可医治。
喜泰顺说：痧（此处指痘疹中的特殊形态），是血液的余气所化。有点状而无痘头，颗粒与蚊迹相似，又如同朱砂留下的痕迹一般，夹杂在其中，形状像锦纹，多发生于血热的证候。书上说：红色的痧容易消退，紫色的痧难以消除。如果形成青蓝色的大点大块状，像蛇伤流入阴部一样，就不可治了。如果见到细小的红色痧点，就用黄连、紫草、犀角、石膏等药剂，频繁服用，才有可能挽回十分之一的生机。否则先红后紫，痘疹必然干枯倒陷，变证频繁增加，无药可治。
喜泰顺说：泡，是气的余气所化。书上说：气过盛则生泡，血过盛则生痧。多见于痘疹发起的时期，也见于皮薄的证候。如果上面的痘疹不起发，而遍身都有水泡，大而明亮，像被热水泼洒、火烧一样的状态，颜色或紫或黑，刺破后流出水，有流出紫血的，见到这些情况都不能存活。大体上都属于肝木系统，肝火重则激发成水泡，用药宜用泻肝行气的方剂，泡消痘起，人事安宁，饮食逐渐恢复，才能保全生命。如果见到气急腹胀，死期临近，失声凄惨，阳气为数无几。
Xi Taishun said: Acne named "thief" (Zei Dou) mostly occurs during the stage of pus formation, or at the period of four to five days, or six to seven days after onset. At this time, Qi and Blood have not yet intersected and merged, the root of the acne has not differentiated Yin and Yang, and various acne lesions have not yet filled with fluid. Sometimes it appears on the head and face, sometimes between the waist and back, in small numbers such as three, five, or six grains, or one, two, or three grains, but individually full and plump, with a yellow and bright color; this is called thief acne. Once thief acne emerges, other acne cannot fill with fluid. It is urgent to puncture them with a silver needle. Although the pathogenic toxin may be discharged through the puncture, the toxin remains within the body. Therefore, treatment should focus on penetrating the muscle and dispersing pathogens, with particular emphasis on detoxification, which is the best approach.
Xi Taishun said: Secretive and stifled acne (Mi Men Zhi Dou) often relates to the Kidney. During fever, lower back pain and abdominal pain occur immediately, or there is soreness and numbness in both legs, making it impossible to stand upright. The eyes are open but the patient speaks deliriously, and bad breath assaults others. They drink boiling water without feeling heat, and drink ice water without feeling cold. Their spirit and qi are confused and昏沉 (dull). The acne spots resemble mosquito bites, red with a purple tint, lacking an erythematous halo, and faintly visible under the skin. By the second or third day, macules appear all over the body, either red or purple; in severe cases, large blue-green macules emerge. The Classics state: "Stomach rot causes macules; if internal organs are depleted, how can toxins exit? Even if they do, their shape resembles silkworm eggs, bran, miliaria, needles, or mustard seeds." Regardless of whether the skin and flesh are uniformly red, this is called stifled acne (Men Dou), which is absolutely incurable.
Xi Taishun said: Sha (here referring to specific morphological changes in acne/rash) is the surplus of blood. There are dot-like formations without heads, resembling mosquito bites, similar to cinnabar marks, interspersed among the lesions, forming patterns like brocade. This mostly occurs in syndromes of blood heat. Books state: "Red sha is easy to resolve; purple sha is difficult to dissipate." If large, blocky blue-green patches form, resembling snake venom entering the yin regions, it is incurable. If fine red sha dots are seen, administer frequent doses of formulas containing Coptis Rhizoma (Huanglian), Arnebiae Radix seu Lithospermi Radix (Zicao), Rhinoceros Horn (Xijiao), and Gypsum Fibrosum (Shigao). Only then might one save one in ten lives. Otherwise, turning from red to purple, the acne will inevitably dry up and invert, with frequent adverse transformations, rendering it untreatable.
Xi Taishun said: Blisters (Pao) are the surplus of Qi. Books say: "Excess Qi leads to blisters; excess Blood leads to sha." These are mostly seen during the eruptive phase, or in conditions with thin skin. If the upper acne fails to erupt, but blisters appear all over the body, large and bright, resembling the appearance of being scalded by hot water or burned by fire, colored purple or black. Upon pricking, clear fluid or purple blood may discharge. Seeing these signs indicates non-survival. Generally, this belongs to the Liver Wood system. Heavy Liver Fire stimulates the formation of blisters. Medication should employ formulas that purges Liver fire and promotes Qi circulation. When blisters subside and acne rises, the patient's condition stabilizes, and diet gradually returns, survival is possible. However, if shortness of breath and abdominal distension are seen, death is imminent, voice is lost in despair, and Yang Qi is nearly exhausted.
