类证普济本事方续集卷六
治诸疖痈等患
化毒方治一切痈疽疮疖。末成者速散,已成者速溃,败脓自出,无假手挤,恶肉自去,不犯针刀。服药后疼痛顿减,此其常用者效也。此方得自于都下异人,时有苦背疡者七十余头,诸药试遍不获痊效,众医环立如堵,出是方示之,相目而笑曰:是岂痈背所用药耶固谓之曰:古人用方自有意义,观其所用药性乎和,纵未能已疾,必不能坏病,服之何害。乃治此方药与之,以熟酒一升许下药五六钱。少顷顿减七分,数服后,疮大溃,脓血流逆,若有物自内托出。服之半月,疮口遂合,若未常有所苦者。又有苦腹疾者,其痛异常,医者莫晓,时意谓此药大能止痛,试与饵之。当日下浓二三碗许,痛亦逐止。思察之乃腹痈也。又一老人,忽胸间发肿,根脚甚大,毒气上攻,如一瓢然斜捕顶右不能转动,遂以此药与服。明日肿毒既散,余一小瘤,如粟米大。又明日,占然如故无事。又一人发脑,疑此不能救,遂殒于庸医手。次年其子复苦此疾,与父无异,病状一同,因惩父之失,纵饮酒服此药而至,不觉大醉,竟日滚卧地上,及至酒醒,病已去矣。又一妇人发乳掀肿疼痛,日夜叫声不绝,哀苦之音皆不忍闻,自谓无生理。又有一妇人,股间发肿,大如杯碗,服此药皆脱然如失物。是药济苦者不可记数,姑摭一二以示大略。大抵痈疽之作,无非气血凝滞,风毒壅结,或饮酒食热物过多,房室虚甚,荣卫不调所致。治之不早,则外坏肌肉,内攻脏腑,去生远矣。详味此方,其所用药皆发散风毒,调理气血,排脓止痛,生肌长肉等药,五毒不试而坐收疡医十全之功,其可悉述乎(悉述作尚已)。
人参用新罗者、团结重尖滋润者,洗净去芦,薄切焙干防风择新者,净洗切焙当归取川中来者泽大今泽作择,今作个。如马尾状,滋润甜辣者,香芬者,温水洗,薄切焙干黄芪川绵者为良状等(状下有如字,等箭误)。干者,长一二尺,不开者洗净,寸截,捶碎,擘如丝状,以盐汤浸透,微火灸酥,再锉入众药中芎劳川中者为上,今多止是抚芎,不用净,洗净焙干厚丰卜宜用梓州来者,厚而紫,掐乏油色者佳,去鹿(鹿当作粗)皮切,姜汁淹一两,焙炒白芷桔梗以有心味苦者为真,无心味苦者荠苊,切勿误用。洗净去头,薄切焙干,入众药桂宜用卷薄者,古法带皮桂每两止取二钱半,用一两者当卖四两,内取一两好者,不见火甘草生
右十味,选药贵精者,皆取净,晒干极燥方秤。人参、当归、黄芪各二两,其他七味各一两。除桂外,一处为末,入桂令匀。每服三钱,渐加至五六钱,热酒调。日数服,以多为妙,眼至疮口合,更服为佳,所以补前损杜后患也。不饮酒者,浓煎木香汤下。然不若酒力之胜也,或饮酒不多能勉强间用者,酒调下,并木香汤解酒,切效,当不减于酒也。
右(口父)咀乃为锉散也。锉令如麻豆大也,每服四钱,水二盏,煎至一盏。已上去滓,取八分清汁,空心热服。半日已上未利,再服,以快为度。或下恶物未生肉已前,时服不妨,以析毒热之气。或有人使竹沥、芒硝,恐用药之人不能斟量,是故不载。知者当自相度用之。
又方治痈疽发背、丹疹、赤肿恶肉、时行热毒变作赤杂及眼赤痛生障医病方
川牛膝甘草各二两有为粗末。每服四钱,水一盏半,煎至七分,空心热服。或利一二行,如未利再服,可加芒硝三钱。未成者散去,已成者立溃痈疖。药中无如此三方妙绝,余每用济人不少。凡有患痈疖发背等疾,服此二三药获安之后,宜常服四物汤、交和黄芪建中汤,空心煎服。御未来,恐疾再作。传其难又兼费财,不秘者者下有欲天下人安故也七字。
治发背内溃及诸恶毒冲心,呕吐、疼痛不可忍,三两服可救一命。应干疮毒痈疽等疾每日一服,无不除愈。内托毒气使出及外,不至内攻乳香散
右二物再同碾极细,每服一钱,新汲水调下。水不宜多,要药停在胸膈也,甚妙。
治十肿水病并根源证状方法
右十般肿病,各有根源,种种不同。看十肿病根,除一味用,将九味等分,遂味用。制者依法修治,焙为细末,炼蜜为圆,用赤茯苓汤吞下,不拘时候。其圆如梧桐子大,每日三眼。忌盐一百二十日。缘盐能化水故也。然忌鱼蚱、面食、一切毒物,及生冷等物及不得行房事。此病去生甚远,取死将近。或得良医医者,得余此方,慎勿轻贱。虽干金难换,但余欲天下人安故也。用此方获瘥之后,更用后来补药:

治疗各种疖痈等病症
化毒方治疗一切痈疽疮疖。未成脓者速散,已成脓者速溃,败脓自出,无需手挤,恶肉自去,不犯针刀。服药后疼痛顿减,这是常用且有效的方法。此方得自于京城的异人,当时有苦背疡者七十余头,诸药试遍不获痊愈,众医环立如堵,出示此方示之,相视而笑曰:这难道是治背痈的药吗?我坚持说:古人用方自有意义,观其所用药性平和,纵然不能治愈疾病,也绝不会坏病,服用有何害处。于是配制此方药给他,用熟酒一升许下药五六钱。少顷疼痛减少七分,数服后,疮大溃,脓血流逆,若有物自内托出。服用半月,疮口遂合,如同未曾受苦一样。又有苦腹疾者,其痛异常,医者莫晓,我当时想此药大能止痛,试着让他服用。当日下脓二三碗许,痛亦停止。思考察之乃是腹痈也。又一老人,忽胸间发肿,根脚甚大,毒气上攻,如一瓢然斜扑顶右不能转动,遂以此药与服。明日肿毒既散,余一小瘤,如粟米大。又明日,安然如故无事。又一人发脑疽,疑此不能救,遂殒于庸医手。次年其子复苦此疾,与父无异,病状一同,因惩父之失,纵饮酒服此药而至,不觉大醉,竟日滚卧地上,及至酒醒,病已去矣。又一妇人发乳掀肿疼痛,日夜叫声不绝,哀苦之音皆不忍闻,自谓无生理。又有一妇人,股间发肿,大如杯碗,服此药皆脱然如失物。此药救济苦难者不可记数,姑且摘录一二以示大略。大抵痈疽之作,无非气血凝滞,风毒壅结,或饮酒食热物过多,房室虚甚,营卫不调所致。治疗不早,则外坏肌肉,内攻脏腑,离死亡不远了。详细品味此方,其所用药皆发散风毒,调理气血,排脓止痛,生肌长肉等药,五毒不试而坐收疡医十全之功,其可悉述乎(悉述作尚已)。
人参用新罗者、团结重尖滋润者,洗净去芦,薄切焙干;防风择新者,净洗切焙;当归取川中来者泽大今泽作择,今作个。如马尾状,滋润甜辣者,香芬者,温水洗,薄切焙干;黄芪川绵者为良状等(状下有如字,等箭误)。干者,长一二尺,不开者洗净,寸截,捶碎,擘如丝状,以盐汤浸透,微火灸酥,再锉入众药中;川芎川中者为上,今多止是抚芎,不用净,洗净焙干;厚朴宜用梓州来者,厚而紫,掐之有油色者佳,去粗皮切,姜汁淹一两,焙炒;白芷;桔梗以有心味苦者为真,无心味苦者荠苈,切勿误用。洗净去头,薄切焙干,入众药;桂宜用卷薄者,古法带皮桂每两止取二钱半,用一两者当卖四两,内取一两好者,不见火;甘草生

青木香,沉香,乳香,麝香,升麻,独活,连翘,桑寄生,木通,夜干(道按:夜干即射干)已上一两,大黄五两
以上锉散,锉令如麻豆大,每次服用四钱,水二盏,煎至一盏。已上去滓,取八分清汁,空心热服。半日已上未利,再服,以快为度。或下恶物未生肉已前,时服不妨,以析毒热之气。或有人使竹沥、芒硝,恐用药之人不能斟量,是故不载。知者当自相度用之。
又一方治疗痈疽发背、丹疹、赤肿恶肉、时行热毒变作赤杂及眼赤痛生障医病方

治疗发背内溃及诸恶毒冲心,呕吐、疼痛不可忍,三两服可救一命。应干疮毒痈疽等疾每日一服,无不除愈。内托毒气使出及外,不至内攻乳香散
以上两物再同碾极细,每次服用一钱,新汲水调下。水不宜多,要药停在胸膈也,甚妙。

**Treatment of Various Boils and Carbuncles**
**Detoxification Formula** treats all carbuncles, ulcers, sores, and boils. Unformed abscesses disperse quickly; formed abscesses rupture quickly. Necrotic pus exits spontaneously without manual squeezing. Dead flesh removes itself without needles or knives. Pain decreases instantly after taking medicine. This is a commonly used and effective formula. Obtained from an extraordinary person in the capital. At that time, there were seventy-plus cases of severe back carbuncles. All medicines failed. Doctors stood around helpless. Showing this formula, they laughed, asking if this was really for back carbuncles. I insisted: Ancient formulas have their meaning. Observe the harmony of medicinal properties. Even if it doesn't cure, it won't harm. Why not try? Prepared this formula, gave it with one sheng of cooked wine, five or six qian of medicine. Soon pain reduced by seven tenths. After several doses, the sore ruptured greatly, pus and blood flowed, feeling as if something pushed out from inside. After half a month of taking, the wound closed, as if no suffering had occurred. Another patient suffered from abdominal disease with unusual pain. Doctors didn't understand. I thought this medicine strongly stops pain, tried giving it. That day, passed two or three bowls of thick stool, pain stopped. Upon reflection, it was an abdominal abscess. Another elderly man suddenly developed swelling in the chest, large base, toxic qi attacking upward, like a gourd tilting to the right, unable to turn head. Gave this medicine. Next day, swelling and toxicity dispersed, leaving a small lump the size of millet. Day after, completely normal. Another person developed brain carbuncle, doubted this could save him, died at the hands of mediocre doctors. Next year, his son suffered the same disease, identical symptoms. Learning from father's mistake, drank alcohol freely, took this medicine, got drunk, rolled on ground all day. When sober, disease gone. Another woman developed breast carbuncle with swelling and pain, screaming day and night, unbearable sorrow, believed she would die. Another woman had thigh swelling the size of a bowl. Taking this medicine, she recovered instantly as if losing a burden. This medicine saved countless sufferers. Recording only a few to show general principles. Generally, carbuncles and ulcers arise from qi and blood stagnation, wind-toxin accumulation, excessive drinking and eating hot foods, sexual exhaustion, and disharmony of Ying and Wei defenses. If treatment is delayed, external muscles deteriorate, internal organs attack, life is far away. Detailed analysis of this formula shows its ingredients disperse wind-toxin, regulate qi and blood, drain pus, stop pain, generate muscle, and promote flesh growth. Without testing five poisons, one achieves the perfect success of a surgeon. How can it be fully described?
Select high-quality *Ginseng Radix* (Ginseng Root) from Shilla, firm, heavy, moist, wash clean, remove rhizome, slice thin, dry-roast.

Soak thoroughly in salt water, roast slowly until酥 (crisp), then cut and add to other medicines. *Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma* (Sichuan Lovage Rhizome) from Sichuan is best. Now mostly *Fuxiong*, not clean. Wash clean, dry-roast. *Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex* (Magnolia Bark) from Zizhou is suitable, thick and purple, breaks with oily color, good. Remove coarse bark, slice, soak in ginger juice for one liang, dry-roast. *Angelicae Dahuricae Radix* (Dahurian Angelica Root); *Platycodonis Radix* (Balloon Flower Root) with heart and bitter taste is authentic. Those without heart and bitter taste are *Jie Geng* (incorrect name), do not misuse. Wash clean, remove head, slice thin, dry-roast, add to other medicines. *Cinnamomi Cortex* (Cinnamon Bark) should be thin and curled. Ancient method uses bark. For every liang, only take two qian half. Using one liang should sell for four liang. Take one liang of good quality, avoid fire. Raw *Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma* (Licorice Root).
The above ten ingredients, select precious ones, all clean, sun-dried extremely dry before weighing. Ginseng, Dong Quai, Astragalus each two taels. Other seven ingredients each one tael. Except cinnamon, grind all together into fine powder, add cinnamon to mix evenly. Take three qian per dose, gradually increase to five or six qian, mix with hot wine. Take several times a day, more is better. Continue until wound closes, even better, to prevent recurrence. Non-drinkers take with strong *Costi Rhizoma* (Costus Root) decoction. However, wine power is superior. Those who drink little but can occasionally use it, mix with wine, and resolve wine with Costus decoction. Very effective, not less than wine.
**Another Prescription** treats all malignant nodules, scrofula, carbuncles, ulcers, and malignant swellings.

Cut into pieces like hemp seeds. Take four qian per dose with two cups of water, decoct to one cup. Strain, take eight parts clear liquid, take hot on empty stomach. If not loose after half a day, take again, stop when brisk. Or take occasionally before flesh grows to vent toxic heat. Some use bamboo sap or Glauber's Salt, fearing improper dosage, so not recorded. Those who know should adjust themselves.

If loose one or two times, take again if not loose, can add three qian of Glauber's Salt. Unformed disperses, formed ruptures immediately. No other formulas are as excellent as these three. I have used them to help many people. Anyone suffering from boils, carbuncles, back carbuncles, etc., after taking two or three of these medicines and recovering, should regularly take *Si Wu Tang* (Four Substances Decoction) and *Jiao He Huang Qi Jian Zhong Tang* (Harmonizing Astragalus Middle-Tonifying Decoction), decoct and take on empty stomach. Prevent future occurrence, fear disease relapse. Transmission is difficult and costly. Not secret because I want everyone to be safe.
