论日间发寒热
天师曰∶日治者，病重于日间，而发寒发热，较夜尤重，此等症必须从天未明而先截之。方用
柴胡三钱，当归三钱，黄 五钱，人参一钱，陈皮一钱，半夏一钱，青皮一钱。枳壳一钱，白术五钱，
甘草一钱，干姜五分，水煎服。（〔批〕补正逐邪汤。）此方妙在加柴胡于参、 、归、术之中。盖邪
之敢在日间作祟者，欺正气之衰也。今用祛邪之品同补正之药，共相攻邪，则正气有余，邪自退舍。譬
如贼人白昼操戈入室。明欺主人软弱，故肆无忌惮。倘主人退缩潜形，则贼势更张，必大恣 掠，席卷资
囊而去。正气日消，病安能愈也，妙在全用补正为君，则主人无惧，指挥如意，号召家人，奋勇格斗，前
后左右，无不执耒而来，负锄而至，争先捍御，贼人自然胆落，惟恐去之不速矣。况方中有柴胡、半夏
之类，各各消邪，又譬如主人既勇，奴仆无非勇士，则贼不奔逃，必被擒获。此方之用于日间，实有妙
用也。
张公曰∶妙绝。日闻之病，以此治之，最妙。余尚有一法，治日间之症，尤易奏功。方用人参一
钱，白术五钱，甘草一钱，陈皮一钱，柴胡二钱，熟地一两，白芥子一钱，水煎服。（〔批〕阴阳兼治
汤。）天师之方，乃治阳虚之症，余方乃治阳虚而兼阴虚之症，二方彼此参用，何愁日间之病棘手哉。
华君曰∶同。
雷公曰∶日间发热，乃邪在于阳分也。补阳气而邪自退。方用人参三钱，甘草一钱，白术五钱，
当归三钱，陈皮一钱，柴胡二钱，水煎服。有痰，加半夏一钱；有食，加山楂一钱。方名助正汤。
助其正，邪不祛而自祛也。
陈士铎曰：所谓“日治法”，是指病症在白天加重，且寒热发作比夜间更为严重。这类病证必须在天亮之前预先截断治疗。方剂用柴胡三钱、当归三钱、黄芩五钱、人参一钱、陈皮一钱、半夏一钱、青皮一钱、枳壳一钱、白术五钱、甘草一钱、干姜五分，水煎服。（批注：补正逐邪汤。）此方的妙处在于将柴胡加入人参、黄芩、当归、白术等药物之中。大概邪气之所以敢在白天作祟，是因为它欺侮正气虚弱。现在使用祛邪的药物配合补正气的药，共同攻击邪气，使得正气充足，邪气自然退避。这就好比贼人在白天持戈闯入室内，明目张胆地欺负主人软弱，所以肆无忌惮。如果主人退缩隐藏，那么贼人的气势会更嚣张，必定大肆掠夺，卷走财物离去。正气日渐消耗，病怎么能痊愈呢？妙在全用补益正气的药作为君药，这样主人就不害怕，能够从容指挥，号召家人奋勇格斗，前后左右的人无不拿着农具赶来，争先恐后地抵御，贼人自然会胆战心惊，只恨不能迅速逃离。况且方中有柴胡、半夏等药物，各自消除邪气，这又好比主人既勇敢，奴仆也都是勇士，那么贼人如果不逃跑，就一定会被擒获。这个方子用于日间治疗，确实有奇妙的作用。
张公说：妙极了。对于白天发作的病，用这个方法治疗，最为巧妙。我还有另一种方法，治疗白天的病证，更容易见效。方用人参一钱、白术五钱、甘草一钱、陈皮一钱、柴胡二钱、熟地黄一两、白芥子一钱，水煎服。（批注：阴阳兼治汤。）陈天师（陈士铎）的方子，是治疗阳虚的病症；我的方子是治疗阳虚兼阴虚的病症。两方互相参考使用，还担心白天的病难治吗？
华君说：同意。
雷公说：白天发热，是因为邪气停留在阳分。补益阳气，邪气自然消退。方用人参三钱、甘草一钱、白术五钱、当归三钱、陈皮一钱、柴胡二钱，水煎服。如果有痰，加半夏一钱；如果有食积，加山楂一钱。方名助正汤。辅助正气，邪气不待驱除而自行消除。
Chen Shiduo stated: The so-called "Day Treatment Method" refers to conditions that worsen during the day, with chills and fever (Fever and Chills) manifesting more severely than at night. Such syndromes must be intercepted before dawn. The prescription consists of Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix) 3 qian, Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) 3 qian, Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix) 5 qian, Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) 1 qian, Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) 1 qian, Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) 1 qian, Qing Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride) 1 qian, Zhi Ke (Aurantii Fructus) 1 qian, Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) 5 qian, Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) 1 qian, and Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) 0.5 qian, decocted in water and taken orally. (Annotation: Bu Zheng Zhu Xie Tang [Supplement Uprightness and Expel Pathogen Decoction].) The brilliance of this formula lies in adding Chai Hu among Ren Shen, Huang Qin, Dang Gui, and Bai Zhu. Generally, pathogens dare to wreak havoc during the day because they exploit the deficiency of Zheng Qi (Upright Qi/Healthy Qi). Now, by using pathogen-expelling herbs together with herbs that tonify Zheng Qi to jointly attack the pathogen, Zheng Qi becomes sufficient, and the pathogen naturally retreats. This is akin to thieves breaking into a house with weapons during the daytime, openly bullying the weak master and thus acting without restraint. If the master shrinks back and hides, the thieves' arrogance will increase, leading to rampant plundering and the theft of all wealth. As Zheng Qi diminishes daily, how can the disease heal? The妙 (marvelous aspect) is entirely relying on herbs that tonify Zheng Qi as the sovereign drugs; thus, the master has no fear, commands at will, summons family members to fight bravely, and everyone comes from front, back, left, and right wielding farming tools, competing to defend. The thieves naturally lose their courage, fearing only that they cannot escape quickly enough. Moreover, the formula contains herbs like Chai Hu and Ban Xia, each eliminating pathogens. This is further likened to a situation where the master is brave and the servants are all warriors; if the thieves do not flee, they will surely be captured. The application of this formula for daytime treatment indeed possesses marvelous efficacy.
Master Zhang said: Marvelous. For diseases manifesting during the day, treating them with this method is most effective. I have another method for treating daytime syndromes, which yields results even more easily. The prescription uses Ren Shen 1 qian, Bai Zhu 5 qian, Gan Cao 1 qian, Chen Pi 1 qian, Chai Hu 2 qian, Shu Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata) 1 liang, Bai Jie Zi (Sinapis Semen) 1 qian, decocted in water and taken orally. (Annotation: Yin Yang Jian Zhi Tang [Yin-Yang Simultaneous Treatment Decoction].) Master Chen's formula treats Yang Xu (Yang Deficiency) syndromes, whereas my formula treats Yang Xu combined with Yin Xu (Yin Deficiency). By referencing and using both formulas mutually, why worry about daytime diseases being difficult to treat?
Master Hua said: Agreed.
Master Lei said: Fever during the day indicates that the pathogen resides in the Yang portion of the body. Tonifying Yang Qi causes the pathogen to recede spontaneously. The prescription uses Ren Shen 3 qian, Gan Cao 1 qian, Bai Zhu 5 qian, Dang Gui 3 qian, Chen Pi 1 qian, and Chai Hu 2 qian, decocted in water and taken orally. If there is Phlegm (Tan), add Ban Xia 1 qian; if there is Food Stagnation (Shi), add Shan Zha (Crataegi Fructus) 1 qian. The formula is named Zhu Zheng Tang (Assist Uprightness Decoction). By assisting Zheng Qi, the pathogen is expelled spontaneously without direct expulsion efforts.
