薛立斋治疗一名男子,全身瘙痒,后来发展成疮疡并流出液体,怕冷战栗,皮肤粗糙起皱,眉毛逐渐脱落,大便秘结,小便短赤。这是肺火为患,使用补气泻荣汤四剂,各种症状逐渐消退。但出现倦怠、怕冷、小便清少,这是邪气已去而真气虚弱,使用补中益气汤兼换肌散,半年后元气恢复,各种症状消退。正值中秋时节,突然大便不成形,小便频数,身体疲倦、食欲减退,怕冷且身体沉重,这是湿邪乘虚而入所致,使用东垣益胃汤,两剂后立刻痊愈。继续服用之前的药物,调理三个多月完全康复。
另一名男子双眼发红,全身痒痛,抓挠后出现白色皮屑。这是肝肺阴虚,误服了祛风燥烈的药物,导致鼻子发红、面色紫暗,身上长出疙瘩,抓破后出血水。使用升麻汤送服泻青丸数次,又服用加味逍遥散数剂,身上的红色和鼻子的红色逐渐消退,疙瘩逐渐消失。接着服用四物汤加入人参、(此处原文缺字,推测为白术或类似补气药,依上下文保留原意或略过具体药名,此处按原文结构处理,若需补全通常指白术等,但严格翻译不增补,故译为“加入人参及某药”或仅列人参,鉴于中医语境,此处可能漏字,暂译为“加入人参、[缺失药材]、柴胡、山栀”),以及换肌散,各服用一百多剂,庆幸患者年轻且谨遵医嘱,最终痊愈。
一名妇女在傍晚时分全身瘙痒,内外都使用了追毒祛风的药物,导致脓水淋漓,上午怕冷,下午发热,非常像疠风(麻风病)。使用补中益气汤加入山栀、钩藤,又以加味逍遥散加入川芎而痊愈。

一名男子患瘙痒,抓破后成疮,像大麻风。服用遇仙丹后,发热口渴,大便秘结,脉象沉实,右关部尤为明显,这是热邪蓄积于内。先用黄连内疏汤,使大便通畅。又用防风通圣汤去掉芒硝、大黄以止住热渴。随后用八珍汤使疮疡愈合。

一名妇女秋季肢体瘙痒,时而发寒热,傍晚发热严重,口苦喜酸,月经提前,面色常青,发热严重时变红。严格服用清热凉血药物,后来长出疙瘩,赤色瘙痒更加严重,于是用清热败毒药物,抓破后脓水淋漓,说是肝脾血虚燥。不信此说法,仍治疗疮毒,疮疡更加严重,形体气息倦怠,饮食减少。先用补中益气汤,间或佐以六君子汤、当归,元气稍复。然后用八珍汤,加倍人参、白术,少量川芎、白芍,间或佐以补中益气汤,各种症状逐渐痊愈。又以四君子汤,佐以加味逍遥散,两个多月,脓水逐渐减少。又过一个月,疮疡逐渐结痂。因发怒出现寒热腹胀,饮食少思,患处复发严重,用六君子汤加入山栀、柴胡,乃以四君子汤为主,疮疡逐渐痊愈。又因发怒,月经量很多,发热口渴,疮痛出血,用柴胡清肝散,热退痛止。仍用四君子汤使疮疡结痂。又用八珍汤、山栀、丹皮而痊愈。
一名妇女全身瘙痒,脓水淋漓,发热,身体像虫行,月经不调。先用升麻汤送服泻一丸,热痒立刻消退。又用加味逍遥散,月经按期而行。用换肌丸使疮疡愈合。后来因发怒,月经不止,筋骨疼痛,用秦艽地黄汤、易老祛风丸而痊愈。

一名妇女怀抱久郁,患前症,脓水淋漓。服用连翘消毒散,食欲减少胸脘痞闷。服用清气化痰丸,出现呕吐痰涎。服用清热化痰丸,烦热畏寒,四肢厥冷(原文“四肢 热”结合语境及后续虚寒隔阳,应为厥逆或冷,但字面为热,此处依WHO标准术语逻辑,若为真寒假热则四肢冷,若字面直译则为四肢热,考虑到“面目赤色,脉大而无力...虚寒隔阳气于外”,此为格阳证,四肢当冷,但原文写“热”,可能是“厥”之误或特指手足心热?结合“虚寒隔阳气于外”,通常伴四肢不温。此处严格按原文翻译为“四肢热”,但在中医理论分析中需注意矛盾,不过任务要求忠实翻译,故译为“四肢热”),面目红色,脉象大而无力。这是脾胃亏损,而虚寒将阳气格拒于外。于是用六君子汤加入炮姜治疗它,各种症状稍好,饮食立刻增加。又佐以四物汤,各种症状逐渐痊愈。又以四君子汤,每味各一钱,四物汤每味各五分,各种症状完全痊愈。
一名妇女每到秋季,两手心瘙痒,抓挠起白色皮屑。因劳累恼怒,则发寒热,全身瘙痒,起疙瘩。有人以为是风症,内服花蛇等药物,外敷硫黄之类,又服用遇仙丹,各种热渴更加严重,月经不通。说是脾肝二经血燥生风,先用加味逍遥散,热渴逐渐减轻。又用八珍汤、柴胡、山栀,患处稍可缓解。后来因怒气,发热胁痛,患处肿胀,用加味逍遥散,四剂而安定。又用四君子汤、川芎、当归、山栀、丹皮,到半年而痊愈。

黄锦芳治疗一名僧人,身体异常瘙痒,服用驱风败毒药未愈。诊其脉,左手均平静,只有脾脉涌突异常。询问得知饮食无味,饱胀时常嗳气。这是内气不清,而浊邪外溢于经络。用茯苓三钱,半夏二钱,木香八分,广陈皮五分,川厚朴一钱,每天服用两剂,于是痊愈。
Xue Lizhai treated a male patient with generalized pruritus, which later developed into sores oozing fluid. He presented with chills and aversion to cold, rough and wrinkled skin, gradual loss of eyebrows, constipation, and scanty dark urine. This was attributed to Lung Fire (Lung Heat). After four doses of Buxie Xier Tang (Tonify Qi and Drain Ying Decoction), his symptoms gradually subsided. However, he remained fatigued with aversion to cold and scanty clear urine, indicating that the pathogenic factor had departed but the healthy Qi was deficient. He was treated with Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) combined with Huanji San (Skin-Transforming Powder). Over half a year, his Yuan Qi (Original Qi) recovered, and all symptoms resolved. In mid-autumn, he suddenly experienced loose stools and frequent urination, accompanied by fatigue, poor appetite, chills, and heavy body sensation. This was due to Dampness (Damp Evil) taking advantage of the deficiency. Dongyuan Yiwei Tang (Strengthen the Stomach Decoction) was prescribed for two doses, resulting in immediate relief. He continued with the previous medications and was fully recovered after more than three months of regulation.
Another male patient presented with red eyes, generalized pruritus and pain, and white scales appearing upon scratching. This was diagnosed as Yin Deficiency of the Liver and Lung. Due to the mistaken use of drying wind-dispelling agents, he developed a red nose, purplish complexion, and papules on the body that bled when scratched. He was given Shengma Tang (Cimicifuga Decoction) administered with Xieqing Wan (Drain the Green Pill) several times, followed by Jiawei Xiaoyao San (Modified Free and Easy Wanderer Powder) for several doses. His facial and nasal redness gradually faded, and the papules diminished. Subsequently, Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) was used with added Ginseng Radix [Note: Original text missing character, likely Baizhu or similar], Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix), and Zhizi (Gardeniae Fructus), along with Huanji San. Each prescription was taken over a hundred times. Fortunately, being young and compliant with medical advice, he made a full recovery.
A female patient experienced generalized pruritus in the late afternoon. Both internal and external treatments using toxic-clearing and wind-dispelling agents resulted in profuse oozing of pus and fluid. She suffered from morning chills and afternoon fever, resembling Leprosy (Li Feng). She was treated with Buzhong Yiqi Tang added with Zhizi (Gardeniae Fructus) and Gouteng (Uncariae Ramulus cum Uncis) and subsequently with Jiawei Xiaoyao San added with Chuanxiong Rhizome, leading to her cure.
Another female patient presented with red palms, pruritus, fever, dizziness, and thirst, worsening in the late afternoon. After taking wind-dispelling and heat-clearing drugs, red marks appeared on her skin, and her menstruation was delayed. Jiawei Xiaoyao San with doubled Shudi (Prepared Rehmanniae Radix) stopped the fever and relieved the itching. Then, Siwu Tang was used with added Chaihu, Renshen (Ginseng Radix), [missing herb], Zhi Gancao (Honey-fried Licorice Root), and Fuling (Poria), which resolved the dizziness and thirst. A further course of Siwu Tang added with Renshen, Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Fuling, and Zhizi eliminated the red halos.
A male patient suffered from pruritus that broke into sores resembling Leprosy. After taking Yuxian Dan (Yuxian Pill), he developed fever, thirst, and constipation. His pulse was deep and solid, especially at the right Guan position, indicating Heat accumulation internally. Huanglian Neishu Tang (Coptis Internal Purging Decoction) was first used to promote bowel movement. Then, Fangfeng Tongsheng San (Saposhnikovia Unblocking the Intestines Powder) without Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas) and Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) was used to stop the fever and thirst. Finally, Bazhen Tang (Eight Treasures Decoction) healed the sores.
A male patient with Spleen and Kidney Qi Deficiency and Blood Heat experienced generalized pruritus, often preferring hot baths. Later, he developed sores oozing fluid; wind-dispelling medicines aggravated the condition, causing redness or whiteness in lesions and visual disturbances with itching. Huma San (Sesame Seed Powder) and Liuwei Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia) were used first for recovery. The following year, pruritus recurred on both thighs, lower abdomen, neck, and nape. Six Sheng San (Four Generations Powder) and Liuwei Wan cured him again.
A female patient with early menstruation experienced chills, fever, and pruritus triggered by labor or anger. Wind-dispelling and fire-draining medicines caused spontaneous pruritus and fever even without stress, accompanied by phlegm-wheezing and shortness of breath. Phlegm-resolving and Qi-clearing medicines led to fatigue, poor appetite, chest stuffiness, and skin eruptions. Detoxifying medicines caused profuse oozing. Leprosy medicines caused dry mouth and thirst, fear of drinking water, delayed menstruation, and twitching between the eyebrows. After another month, eyebrows fell out, and menstruation became continuous. This was diagnosed as Wind-Heat clashing in the Heart and Liver meridians, where Metal (Lung) could not control Wood (Liver), Wood overacted on Earth (Spleen) failing to control blood, and Liver Fire was hyperactive failing to store blood. Following the classic principle "Water generates Wood," she took Dihuang Wan (Rehmannia Pill) in the morning to nourish Kidney Water and generate Liver Blood, and Jiawei Xiaoyao San in the evening to clear Liver Fire and generate Liver Blood. After more than a month, symptoms improved. Si Jun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) with Chuanxiong, Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), and Mudanpi (Moutan Cortex) were added. After another month, menstruation lasted ten days. Two months later, it occurred every fifty days. Then, Wuwei Yigong San (Five-Ingredient Extra-Efficacy Powder) with Danggui was taken in the evening for two months, resulting in cycles of forty days. Anger-induced chills/fever and menorrhagia with eyebrow twitching and a surging, rapid, wiry pulse (prominent in Liver/Spleen positions) were treated with Chaihu Zhizi San (Bupleurum and Gardenia Powder) for two doses to calm Liver Fire, and Wuwei Yigong San for two doses to tonify Spleen Qi. Fever ceased immediately, and bleeding stopped. Bazhen Tang with increased Renshen, Baizhu, and Dihuang Wan were used for two months, restoring regular cycles and eyebrow growth. Food stagnation causing abdominal distension/pain was treated with separate purgatives, leading to intractable diarrhea, heavy lower abdomen, and poor intake. Liujunzi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction) delivering Sishen Wan (Four Spirits Pill) stopped diarrhea after several doses. Buzhong Yiqi Tang with increased Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma) resolved the heaviness. Later, mental exertion caused fever, indigestion, vomiting of saliva, and rising heat from the umbilicus with hunger-fevers. Liujunzi Tang with Paojiang (Roasted Ginger) was used; thick rice soup provided relief during febrile episodes. After two months, daily use of Jiawei Guipi Tang (Modified Restore the Spleen Decoction) and Buzhong Yiqi Tang led to recovery.
In autumn, a female patient had limb pruritus, intermittent chills/fever, severe afternoon fever, bitter taste, craving sour foods, early menstruation, greenish complexion turning red with fever. Strict use of heat-clearing and blood-cooling medicines caused papules and worsened red pruritus. Heat-clearing and detoxifying medicines led to oozing sores. It was diagnosed as Liver-Spleen Blood Deficiency with Dryness. Disbelieving this, she continued treating sores, worsening her condition with fatigue and anorexia. Buzhong Yiqi Tang, occasionally supplemented with Liujunzi Tang and Danggui, slightly restored Yuan Qi. Then, Bazhen Tang with increased Renshen, Baizhu, and reduced Chuanxiong, Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), occasionally supplemented with Buzhong Yiqi Tang, gradually improved symptoms. Four Gentlemen Decoction supplemented with Jiawei Xiaoyao San reduced oozing over two months. Sores crusted over after another month. Anger-induced chills/fever, abdominal distension, and poor appetite with severe local lesions were treated with Liujunzi Tang added with Zhizi and Chaihu, primarily using Four Gentlemen Decoction, healing the sores. Anger-induced menorrhagia, fever, thirst, and painful bleeding sores were treated with Chaihu Qinggan San (Bupleurum Liver-Clearing Powder), stopping fever and pain. Four Gentlemen Decothesis promoted crusting. Bazhen Tang with Zhizi and Mudanpi completed the cure.
A female patient with generalized pruritus, oozing sores, fever, crawling sensations, and irregular menstruation was first treated with Shengma Tang delivering Xiayi Wan (Drain One Pill), instantly relieving fever and itching. Jiawei Xiaoyao San regulated menstruation. Huanji Wan healed the sores. Anger-induced continuous menstruation and bone/joint pain were cured by Qinjiao Dihuang Tang (Gentian and Rehmannia Decoction) and Yilao Qufeng Wan (Master Yi’s Wind-Dispelling Pill).
A quiet, depressed female patient with delayed menstruation and generalized pruritus took wind-dispelling and fire-clearing medicines, breaking skin into weeping sores with intensified itching. Xiaofeng San (Wind-Expelling Powder) type medicines caused eyebrow twitching and hair loss. Yuxian San caused ulceration of lesions, cough, fever, decreased food intake, and early menstruation. Diagnosed as Liver-Spleen Depression-Anger with Blood Dryness, exacerbated by previous drugs, she was treated with Si Jun Zi Tang, Chuanxiong, Danggui, Zhizi, and Mudanpi. Food intake improved, and cough stopped after a month. Jiawei Xiaoyao San with Gouteng for twenty-plus doses stopped eyebrow twitching. Removing Gouteng and doubling Renshen, Baizhu, and Danggui healed sores after a month. Bazhen Tang with Zhizi and Mudanpi completed the cure.
A female patient with previous symptoms, oozing sores, fever/thirst, fatigue/chills, and difficult menstruation unhealed for a long time was diagnosed with Liver-Spleen Deficiency and Deficient Heat. Buzhong Yiqi Tang with Zhizi and Chuanxiong gradually restored Yuan Qi. Xiaoyao San healed the sores. Post-recovery Scabies caused generalized pruritus, papules, and oozing pus/blood. Mistaken use of Zuixian San mimicked Wind Syndrome. Bazhen Tang stabilized her. Shiquan Dabu Tang dried the lesions.
A female patient with late-afternoon pruritus, history of asceticism, Liver Depression-Anger, afternoon/internal fever, spontaneous/diaphoresis, amenorrhea, dry mouth/throat was treated with Guipi Tang for slight improvement. Jiawei Xiaoyao San for fifty-plus doses cured her.
A female patient with pruritus/fever worsening in late afternoon, red skin halos, and delayed menstruation was diagnosed with Blood Deficiency with Heat. Xiaoyao Tang with doubled Shudi stopped fever and itching. Siwu Tang with Chaihu, Renshen, [missing herb], Zhi Gancao, and Fuling regulated and cured her.
A female patient with long-term depression and previous symptoms (oozing sores) took Lianqiao Xiaodu San (Forsythia Detoxification Powder), causing anorexia/chest stuffiness. Qingqi Huatan Wan (Clear Qi Resolve Phlegm Pill) caused vomiting phlegm. Qingre Huatan Wan (Clear Heat Resolve Phlegm Pill) caused vexation/fever/chills, [cold/hot limbs - text says 'hot' but context implies cold/exterior constraint], red face, and large weak pulse. This was Spleen-Stomach Deficiency with Deficient Cold repelling Yang Qi outward. Liujunzi Tang with Paojiang improved symptoms and appetite. Siwu Tang aided recovery. Four Gentlemen Decoction (1 qian each) and Siwu Tang (0.5 qian each) completely cured her.
A female patient had itchy palms in autumn with white scales. Labor/anger triggered chills/fever, generalized pruritus, and papules. Treated as Wind Syndrome with Huashe (Flower Snake) internally, Sulfur externally, and Yuxian Dan internally, her heat/thirst worsened, and menstruation stopped. Diagnosed as Spleen-Liver Blood Dryness generating Wind, Jiawei Xiaoyao San reduced heat/thirst. Bazhen Tang, Chaihu, and Zhizi alleviated lesions. Anger-induced fever/costal pain and swelling were treated with Jiawei Xiaoyao San for four doses. Si Jun Zi Tang, Chuanxiong, Danggui, Zhizi, and Mudanpi cured her after six months.

Song Sheng had generalized pruritus, broken sores oozing fluid, and a floating-rapid pulse, caused by Wind-Heat in the Hand-Foot Yangming Meridians. Ren Shen Bai Du San (Ginseng Detoxifying Decoction) combined with Siwu Tang added Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) and Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma) was taken. Externally, Songxiang (Rosin), Kufan (Alum), and Qingfen (Calomel) mixed in Sesame Oil was applied for over a month, curing him. Another patient with a deep pulse was treated with the above formula plus Dahuang, improving gradually, then stabilized with Ren Shen Bai Du San.
Huang Jinfang treated a monk with abnormal body itch unresponsive to wind-dispelling/detoxifying drugs. Pulse was calm on the left, but the Spleen pulse surged abnormally. He reported tasteless diet and bloating with belching. This was unclear internal Qi with Turbid Evil overflowing into collaterals. Fuling (3 qian), Banxia (2 qian), Muxiang (0.8 fen), Guangpi (0.5 fen), and Chuan Houpo (1 qian) taken twice daily cured him.
