张隐庵说：顺治辛卯年，我四十二岁时，八月里生了一个胃脘痈，位置在鸠尾穴斜下方右侧约一寸处，微微肿胀但不发红，按压时不痛，隐隐感觉里面像有一个鸡蛋大小的肿块。姚继元诊视后说：“这是胃脘痈，又名捧心痈。必须迅速解散毒邪，否则会有性命之忧。”他给贴了一张大膏药，上面撒上二三钱末药，中间烘热后贴敷。到了傍晚，手脚变得酥软，逐渐发展到身体无法转动，只能仰卧在书斋中，心烦意乱，屏退家人。到初更时分，痈上冒出一股毒气，从左乳下经过肋部，向下进入左肾。进入时感觉像烧红的锥子刺入眼中，眼前出现一阵火光，大如车轮，神志昏晕，痛苦难以言表。火光渐渐摇曳消散后，神志才稍微清醒。过了半个多小时，那股气又升起，运行路径如旧，疼痛也如前，这样的情况发生了三四次。我心想这是戊（阳土）与癸（阴水）相合，腑中的邪气侵入脏中，自认为必死无疑。于是妄想这股毒气不从胁下进入肾脏，而是从中焦进入肠胃就能存活。这样静心意念引导，第一次没有成功，第二次随即随着我的意念，仍然从左乳下进入肠中，腹中发出大声鸣响，之前的痛苦便不再有了。起身后继续意念引导，由此领悟到修养的道理，气是随着意念而运行的。到天亮时多次腹泻，胸膈感到宽舒。姚继元先生诊视后说：“毒邪已经散解，无妨事了。”我问：“膏药是毒药吗？”他说：“上面撒的末药，名叫端午药，纯用砒霜、巴豆，在端午节配制。没有这种毒药，怎么能透入皮肉之内？”我说：“为什么不早点说？昨晚以为必定死于毒性。今早才明白膏药中必有毒药，反而因毒得生。”毒药攻治病疾，竟有如此奇妙之处。到了次年中秋节复发，仍用膏药和末药，却完全没有前番的效果，肿胀也不消退。我便想运气之妙，通过经行、坐卧，用手按摩，意念引导此毒仍归肠胃而出，如此十余日后消散。到了次年中秋节又复发，我对姚继元先生说：“去年膏药无效，今年须用其他方法治疗。”姚先生说：“部院刘公的夫人患此病，曾另配一种末药，比之前的更毒，贴敷后会起大水泡，这种药用起来，没有不灵验的。”贴了数日，并不起泡，肿胀也不消退。我想此症已顽固，不受毒药制约，便揭去膏药，用大艾炷在头顶迎香穴附近灸九壮，其毒随火气向四周发散，此后永不复发。我想阳明经的毒邪，恰好在中秋金气旺盛之时发作，初次从毒攻而解，第二次随气运而散，后来因胜制而消。由此领悟到气运制化的道理，有如此奇妙的作用，五行合化的规律，人与天地相互参应，以此理推演治疗百病，奇妙异常。王绍隆先生说：“行医之人必须亲自经历各种病症，才能掌握这些经验。”
王洪绪说：井泉疽生于心口部位，又名幔心锐毒。初起时若感觉心口内有硬块，逐渐增大，心口部位凸起，若毒邪内陷则致死。这是医生往往退缩不敢治疗的病症，各医书中也没有记载治疗方法。只有我家秘集《外科证治全生集》中记载，取病人两手十指，用线量取长短，将线累积起来，在喉管正中处，双环绕至背脊正中，看两线头尽头处为中穴。又以病人的中指中节长度，用柴心量准，作为一寸，在中穴左右各远一寸处，分别用墨标记，分立三穴呈“品”字形排列。每穴用艾灸三大壮，同时施灸，灸后痊愈。
Zhang Yin'an stated: In the Xinmao year of the Shunzhi reign, when I was forty-two years old, in August, I developed a stomach epigastrium abscess (Weiwan Yong). It was located obliquely below the Jiwei acupoint (CV15), approximately one cun to the right. It was slightly swollen but not red, and painless upon pressure. I felt a lump inside, roughly the size of a chicken egg. Yao Jiyuan examined it and said, "This is a stomach epigastrium abscess, also known as Pengxin Yong (Hand-Holding-Heart Abscess). You must rapidly resolve the pathogenic factors, otherwise, there will be danger to your life." He applied a large plaster with two or three qian of powdered medicine sprinkled on top, warmed in the center before application. By evening, my hands and feet became soft and weak, progressing to an inability to turn my body; I lay supine in my study, feeling restless and agitated, dismissing my family members. At the first watch of the night, a toxic vapor rose from the abscess, traveling from below the left breast through the ribs, descending into the left kidney. Upon entry, it felt like a burning awl piercing my eyes, accompanied by a flash of light, large as a wheel, causing faintness and unbearable pain. As the light gradually faded and dispersed, my consciousness slowly returned. After about half an hour, the sensation rose again, following the same path, with similar pain, occurring three or four times. I reasoned that this represented the combination of Wu (Yang Earth) and Gui (Yin Water), where pathogenic factors from the Fu organs invaded the Zang organs, leading me to believe death was inevitable. I then imagined that if this toxic vapor did not enter the kidney via the hypochondrium but instead entered the intestines and stomach from the middle jiao, I would survive. Through quiet mental visualization, the first attempt failed, but the second time, following my intention, the sensation still traveled from below the left breast but entered the intestines. Loud borborygmi occurred in the abdomen, and the previous pain ceased. Rising up, I continued this mental guidance, realizing the principle of self-cultivation: Qi moves according to intention. By dawn, I had several episodes of diarrhea, and my chest and diaphragm felt relaxed. Mr. Yao Jiyuan examined me and said, "The toxicity has dissipated; you are safe." I asked, "Is the plaster poisonous?" He replied, "The powder applied on top is called 'Duanwu Medicine,' composed purely of Realgar (Pishuang) and Croton Seed (Badou), prepared on the Dragon Boat Festival. Without such toxic substances, how could they penetrate the skin and flesh?" I said, "Why didn't you say so earlier? Last night I thought I would surely die from the poison. This morning I realized the plaster contained toxic medicine, which saved my life." The use of toxic drugs to attack disease is indeed miraculous. The condition recurred on the Mid-Autumn Festival of the following year. Using the same plaster and powder yielded no effect, and the swelling did not subside. I relied on the subtlety of Qi circulation, practicing walking, sitting, and lying down while massaging with my hands, visualizing the toxin returning to the intestines and stomach for expulsion. After more than ten days, it resolved. On the Mid-Autumn Festival of the subsequent year, it recurred again. I told Mr. Yao Jiyuan, "Last year's plaster was ineffective; we must try another method." Mr. Yao said, "Lady Liu, wife of Vice Minister Liu, suffered from this illness. She used a specially prepared powder, even more toxic than the previous one, which caused large blisters upon application. This medicine is invariably effective." After applying it for several days, no blisters formed, and the swelling persisted. I reasoned that the condition had become stubborn and resistant to toxic suppression. I removed the plaster and applied large moxa cones to the head (Yingtou area) for nine moxibustion sessions (Zhuang). The toxin dispersed with the fire heat, and it never recurred thereafter. I deduced that the Yangming toxin flares during the Mid-Autumn period when Metal energy is prosperous. Initially, it was resolved by attacking the toxin; subsequently, it dissipated with Qi circulation; finally, it was controlled by overcoming principles. Thus, I realized the profound utility of Qi circulation regulation and the laws of Five Elements interaction. Humans correspond with Heaven and Earth; applying these principles to treat all diseases yields extraordinary results. Mr. Wang Shaolong remarked, "Practitioners must personally experience various diseases to truly master them."
Wang Hongxu stated: Jingquan Ju (Well-Spring Carbuncle) arises at the heart's mouth (epigastrium/xiphoid area), also known as Manxin Ruidu (Slow-Heart Sharp Toxicity). Initially, if a lump is felt inside the epigastrium that gradually enlarges, causing the area to protrude, and if the toxin sinks inward, death ensues. This is a condition often avoided by physicians, and no treatment methods are recorded in standard texts. Only in our family's secret collection is it documented: Take the patient's ten fingers, measure their length with thread, accumulate the threads, and place them centrally over the trachea, looping around to the mid-spine. The point where the ends of the two threads meet is the Central Acupoint. Measure the middle segment of the patient's middle finger using a wooden core as one cun. Mark points one cun to the left and right of the Central Acupoint with ink, establishing three acupoints in a triangular formation. Apply three moxibustion sessions (Zhuang) to each acupoint simultaneously. Complete cure follows.
