蔡元长篇开封尹据案忽觉虫自足心行至腰间落笔晕倒久之方苏吏曰此疾非俞山人不能疗
遂召
之俞曰真香港脚也灸风市一艾而去明日又觉虫自足至风市便止又明日疾如初俞曰是疾非千艾不
治一艾力尽故疾复作遂灸数百壮而愈一人足痹灸以风市肩隅曲池三里寻亦愈

淮安陈吉老儒医也有富翁子忽病视正物皆以为斜凡几案书册之类排设整齐必更移令斜自
以为
正以至书写尺牍莫不皆然父母甚忧之更历数医皆不谙其疾或以吉老告遂携子往求治既诊脉后
令其父先归留其子设乐开宴酬劝无算至醉乃罢扶病者坐轿中使人升之高下其手常令倾侧展转

云令嗣无他疾醉中尝闪倒肝之一叶搭于肺上不能下故视正物为斜今复饮之醉则肺胀展转之间
肝亦垂下矣药亦安能治之哉富翁浓为之酬(云麓漫抄)
元末四明有吕复别号沧洲翁深于医道临川道士萧云泉眼中视物皆倒植请治于复复问其因
萧曰某尝大醉尽吐所饮酒熟睡至天明遂得此病复切其脉左关浮促即告之曰尝伤酒大吐时上焦
反复致倒其胆腑故视物皆倒植此(不内外因)而致内伤者也法当复吐以正其胆遂以藜芦瓜蒂为
粗末用水煎之使乎且顿服以吐为度吐毕视物如常(九灵山房集)
蔡元长担任开封府尹时,正伏案办公,忽然觉得有虫子从脚心爬向腰部,随即落笔晕倒,过了很久才苏醒。下属说这种病只有俞山人能治疗,于是召请他。俞山人说:“这是真正的香港脚(足部肿痛麻木之症),灸风市穴一壮艾即可痊愈。”第二天,病人又感觉虫子从脚爬到风市穴便停止了。第三天,病情如旧。俞山人说:“此病若不灸千壮艾是无法治愈的,因为之前只灸了一壮,正气耗尽,所以疾病复发。”于是灸了数百壮后痊愈。另有一人足部麻痹,用风市、肩髃、曲池、足三里等穴治疗,不久也好了。(出自《洪氏经验方》)
淮安的陈吉老是一位儒医。有个富翁的儿子突然患病,看端正的东西都认为是斜的。凡是几案书册之类摆放整齐的物品,一定要重新移动弄斜,自己才觉得是正的。以至于写信写字没有不这样的。父母非常担忧,遍访多位医生,都不懂这是什么病。有人推荐陈吉老,于是带着儿子去求治。陈吉老诊脉后,让病人的父亲先回去,留下病人,摆设音乐并开启宴席,劝酒无数,直到喝醉才停止。让人扶着病人坐在轿中,使人抬起轿子忽高忽低,经常让轿身倾斜翻转,过了很久才让病人下榻躺卧。等到天亮酒醒后,送他回家。前一天看斜的东西现在都变正了。父母欣喜若狂,询问治疗方法。陈吉老说:“令郎没有其他疾病,只是在醉酒中曾经闪倒,导致肝脏的一叶搭在肺上不能下降,所以看端正的东西以为是斜的。现在再次让他喝醉,肺部胀满,在翻转之间,肝脏也随之垂下恢复原位了。药物怎么能治好呢?”富翁为此重重酬谢了他。(出自《云麓漫抄》)
元朝末年,四明有一位吕复,别号沧洲翁,精通医道。临川道士萧云泉眼中看东西都是颠倒的,请求吕复治疗。吕复询问病因,萧某说:“我曾经大醉,把喝进去的酒全部吐出来,熟睡到第二天早晨,就得了这个病。”吕复切其脉象,左关脉浮而急促,便告诉他说:“这是曾经因饮酒过度呕吐,导致上焦反复震荡,致使胆腑位置颠倒,所以看东西都是颠倒的。这属于‘不内外因’导致的内伤。法度上应当再用催吐的方法来矫正胆腑的位置。”于是用藜芦和瓜蒂研成粗末,用水煎服,让仆人盯着他,一次顿服,以吐出为限度。吐完后,看东西恢复正常。(出自《九灵山房集》)
Cai Yuanchang, serving as the Prefect of Kaifeng, was leaning over his desk when he suddenly felt a sensation like an insect crawling from the sole of his foot up to his waist. He dropped his brush and fainted, regaining consciousness only after a long time. His subordinates said that only Scholar Yu could treat this illness, so they summoned him. Scholar Yu said, "This is true Hong Kong Foot (a condition characterized by swelling, pain, numbness, and weakness in the feet). Moxibustion at Fengshi (GB31) with one moxa cone will cure it." The next day, the patient again felt the sensation crawling from the foot to Fengshi, where it stopped. On the third day, the symptoms returned. Scholar Yu said, "This disease cannot be cured without hundreds of moxa cones; because only one cone was used previously, the vital energy was exhausted, causing the relapse." Consequently, several hundred moxa cones were applied, and the patient recovered. Another patient with numbness in the legs was treated with Fengshi (GB31), Jianyu (SI9), Quchi (LI11), and Zusanli (ST36), and recovered shortly thereafter. (From *Hong's Empirical Formulas*)
Chen Jilao of Huai'an was a Confucian physician. A wealthy man's son suddenly fell ill, perceiving upright objects as slanted. Any items such as desks or books arranged neatly had to be moved until they appeared slanted for him to consider them straight. This extended even to writing letters and characters. His parents were deeply worried and consulted numerous physicians who did not understand the ailment. Upon hearing of Chen Jilao, they brought their son for treatment. After taking the pulse, Chen Jilao instructed the father to leave first, keeping the son behind. He then arranged music and held a banquet, offering unlimited amounts of wine until the son was drunk. The intoxicated patient was placed in a sedan chair, which was carried up and down, often tilting and rolling for a long time, before being allowed to lie down on the bed. By dawn, when the alcohol wore off, he was sent home. Objects that appeared slanted the previous day now appeared straight. His parents were overjoyed and asked for the treatment method. Chen Jilao explained, "Your son has no other illness. During a previous bout of drunkenness, he likely stumbled, causing a lobe of the liver to rest upon the lung and fail to descend, resulting in the perception of slanting upright objects. Now, by making him drunk again, the lungs become distended; during the rolling motion, the liver also drops back into its proper position. How could medicine alone achieve this?" The wealthy man rewarded him generously. (From *Yunlu Mancao*)
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was Lu Fu from Siming, courtesy name Cangzhou Weng, who was deeply versed in medical arts. Daoist priest Xiao Yunquan from Linchuan perceived all objects as inverted and sought treatment from Lu Fu. Lu Fu asked for the cause. Xiao replied, "I once became extremely drunk and vomited everything I had consumed. I slept soundly until morning, and since then, I have suffered from this condition." Lu Fu palpated the pulse, finding the left Guan position floating and rapid, and informed him, "This resulted from excessive drinking and vomiting, causing repeated agitation in the Upper Jiao, leading to the inversion of the Gallbladder organ. Thus, objects appear inverted. This is an internal injury caused by 'neither internal nor external causes' (specifically dietary/lifestyle factors). The appropriate method is to induce vomiting again to correct the position of the gallbladder." Therefore, using coarse powder of Veratrum Viride Rhizome (*Lilu*) and Melon Stalk (*Gua Di*), decocted in water, he administered it in a single dose under supervision, stopping when vomiting occurred. After vomiting, the patient's vision returned to normal. (From *Jiuling Mountain House Collection*)
