【海蛤散】治疗妇人患伤寒后，血液瘀结于胸膈部位。胸部揉按则疼痛剧烈，甚至不能让人靠近触碰。（对于妇人血结胸证，常规治法应当针刺期门穴。张仲景的著作中没有记载此病的药物治疗方案。这个方子怀疑不是张仲景所创，但其中的论述很有道理，暂且保留在此。）
制法与用法：将上述药材捣碎并过筛制成散剂。每次服用二钱，用鸡蛋清调服。小肠通畅利落后，胸膈部位的瘀血即可消散。如果膻中部位血液聚积，就会导致小肠壅塞不通；小肠一旦壅塞，膻中的血液就无法正常运行。适宜使用本方。若小便通利，血液多次下行，则适宜使用桂枝红花汤（Cinnamon Twig and Safflower Decoction）发汗，病即可痊愈。
这一卷主要论述小儿伤寒。小儿与大人的治疗方法大体相同，只是剂量较小，且药性偏凉罢了。寻常的风热壅滞导致发热、流鼻涕、痰多咳嗽、烦躁口渴，以惺惺散（Xingxing San, Stirring Up Powder）为主治方。咽喉不利、痰实咳嗽，以鼠粘子汤（Burdock Seed Decoction）为主治方。头额及身体温热、大便黄赤、腹中有热，以四顺散（Sishun San, Four-Compliance Powder）、连翘饮（Forsythia Drink）和三黄丸（Three-Yellow Pill）为主治方。头额及身体温热、大便色白且气味酸臭的，是胃中有食积，以双丸（Shuang Wan, Double Pill）为主治方。小儿没有其他疾病，仅仅是饮食过度、不能自我节制，导致心腹胀满、身热头痛，双丸都能治疗。小儿身体潮热、头目细微疼痛、心神烦躁、小便赤红、大便秘结，这是热势剧烈的表现，以洗心散（Xixin San, Wash Heart Powder）合调胃承气汤（Stomach-Harmonizing Purging Decoction）为主治方。头疼发热且喜欢依偎他人、怕冷的，这是伤寒证，以升麻汤（Aucklandia Decoction）为主治方。无汗者用麻黄黄芩汤（Ephedra and Scutellaria Decoction），有汗者用升麻黄芩汤（Aucklandia and Scutellaria Decoction），这些都是要药。小儿平时不可过量服用寒凉药物，否则会导致胃冷虫动，其症状与惊风相似，医生如果不能辨别，往往再次给予惊风类药物，如含有牛脑、麝香等的药物，从而导致呕吐。因胃虚而发展为慢惊风的很多。小儿必须有热证，才可以采用疏泄导滞的方法，但仍需慎用丸药来泻下。应当用大黄、川芎等药材切碎煮成汤液，以荡涤蕴积的热邪。因为丸子中的巴豆主要是用来攻逐食积的。
【洗心散】治疗遍身壮热、头目细微疼痛、背部拘急、大热冲上、口苦唇焦、夜间睡眠时舌干、咽喉肿痛、鼻涕唾液稠粘、痰壅、进食不进、心神躁热、眼睛干涩睛痛、伤寒鼻塞、四肢沉重、声音不出、全身骨节疼痛、大小便不利、麸豆疮（天花或类似出疹性疾病）、时行温疫、胡言乱语多渴，以及小儿天吊风（惊风的一种）、夜惊，均适宜服用。

制法与用法：将上述药材捣碎过筛成细末。每次取二钱，用水一盏，生姜一片，薄荷二叶，同煎至八分，放温后去渣服用。服药后仰卧，并暂时去掉枕头片刻。如果五脏壅实严重，可煎四五钱匕。若要使大便溏泄转通，则热服。
药材：桔梗、细辛、人参、白术、栝蒌根、甘草（炙）、白茯苓、川芎（各等分）。
制法与用法：将上述药材捣碎过筛成末。每次服用二钱，用水一盏，生姜二片，薄荷二叶，同煎至七分服用。三岁以下儿童分作四五次服用，五岁以上儿童分两次服用。凡是小儿发热，不论是伤风还是风热，先给此散服用数次，往往就能痊愈。
制法与用法：将上述药材各等分为细末。每次服用二钱，用水一盏，薄荷二叶，煎至七分温服。小儿根据年龄调整剂量。
药材：麻黄（去节一两）、黄芩、赤芍药（各半两）、甘草（炙）、桂枝（去皮各一分）。

药材：甘遂（半两）、朱砂（一钱，另研）、麦门冬（二两半，去心）、蕤核（去仁，另研，四两半）、牡蛎（二两）、甘草（一两一分，炙）、巴豆（六十枚，去皮心膜，研磨，用新布绞去油，在日中晒至白如霜状）。
制法与用法：将麦门冬、甘草、甘遂、牡蛎四味药制成细末，加入巴豆、朱砂、蕤仁混合，捣两千杵，再加入少许蜂蜜捣和，极熟后随即丸药。半岁婴儿服用如荏子大小的一双（两粒）；一岁婴儿服用如半颗麻子大小，分两次服用；两岁婴儿服用如麻子大小的一枚，分两次服用；三四岁者，服用如麻子大小的两丸；五六岁者，服用如大麻子大小的两丸；七八岁者，服用如小豆大小的两丸；十岁者，服用略大于小豆的两丸。常在鸡鸣时服用，如果到日出时仍未排便，喝几合热粥送服，即可促使药丸发挥作用。服药后大便皆呈双重排出（指先硬后软或分次排出）。如果腹泻严重，浓煎冷粥饮用即可止住。
药材：麻黄（一两，去节，汤泡）、甘草（半两，炙）、石膏（半两）、芍药（半两）、桂心（一分）、黄芩（一两）、杏仁（十枚，去皮尖）。
制法与用法：将上述七味药制成散剂。每次服用二钱，用水一中盏，入生姜二片，煎至半盏，去渣服用。婴儿若非常小，酌情增减剂量。

[Hai Ge San] Treats women suffering from cold damage (Shanghan) with blood stasis knotting in the chest and diaphragm. Rubbing the area causes severe pain, making it intolerable for others to approach or touch. (For the syndrome of blood stasis in the chest in women, the standard treatment is to puncture the Qimen [Liv 14] acupoint. Zhang Zhongjing's works do not record a herbal prescription for this condition. This formula is suspected not to be authored by Zhang Zhongjing, but its rationale is sound; therefore, it is retained here.)
Ingredients: Hai Ge (Clam Shell), Huashi (Talcum), Gancao (Licorice Root, each 1 liang, honey-fried), Mangxiao (Mirabilite, 0.5 liang).
Preparation and Administration: Pound and sieve the ingredients into a powder. Take 2 qian per dose, mixed with egg white. Once the Small Intestine functions smoothly, the blood stasis in the chest and diaphragm will dissipate. If blood accumulates at the Shanzhong [CV 17], it causes obstruction in the Small Intestine; once the Small Intestine is obstructed, blood circulation at the Shanzhong cannot flow freely. This formula is suitable. If urination is clear and abundant, indicating blood has moved downwards, Guizhi Honghua Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Safflower Decoction) should be used to induce sweating for a cure.
This volume discusses pediatric cold damage. The treatment principles for children are generally similar to those for adults, but with smaller dosages and cooler-natured herbs. For common wind-phlegm obstruction causing fever, runny nose, phlegmy cough, restlessness, and thirst, Xingxing San (Stirring Up Powder) is indicated. For throat discomfort and phlegm-solid cough, Niuzi Tang (Burdock Seed Decoction) is indicated. For warmth in the head/forehead and body, yellow-red stool, and internal heat, Sishun San (Four-Compliance Powder), Lianqiao Yin (Forsythia Drink), and Sanhuang Wan (Three-Yellow Pill) are indicated. For warmth in the head/forehead and body with white, sour-smelling stool, indicating food stagnation in the Stomach, Shuang Wan (Double Pill) is indicated. For children without other diseases who suffer from overeating and lack of self-control, leading to abdominal distension, fever, and headache, Shuang Wan treats all these conditions. For children with tidal fever, fine pain in the head and eyes, mental restlessness, red urine, and constipation, indicating severe heat, Xixin San (Wash Heart Powder) combined with Tiaowei Chengqi Tang (Stomach-Harmonizing Purging Decoction) is indicated. For headache, fever, preference for leaning on others, and aversion to cold, indicating a cold damage syndrome, Shengma Tang (Aucklandia Decoction) is indicated. For cases with no sweat, Mahuang Huangqin Tang (Ephedra and Scutellaria Decoction) is used; for cases with sweat, Shengma Huangqin Tang (Aucklandia and Scutellaria Decoction) is used. These are essential formulas. Children should not be given excessive cooling medicines, as this can cause Cold in the Stomach and moving parasites, presenting symptoms similar to convulsions. If physicians fail to distinguish this and administer convulsion medicines containing substances like Nao (Camphor/Borneol) or She (Musk), vomiting may result. Many cases of slow convulsions arise from Stomach deficiency. Only when there is evidence of Heat in children should purgative methods be used, and pills should be used cautiously. Instead, decoctions made from Dahuang (Rhubarb) and Chuanxiong (Sichuan Lovage Rhizome) should be used to purge accumulated heat, as pills containing Badou (Croton Seed) are primarily for attacking food stagnation.
