张子和曰∶泰和间，余见陈下广济禅院，其主僧病霍乱。一方士用附子一枚及两者，干姜一两，泡水一碗
同煎，放冷服之，服讫则呕血而死。顷，合流镇李彦直，中夜忽作吐泻，自取理中丸服之。医者至，以为有食
积，以巴豆下之，三五丸药亦不动，至明而死，可不哀哉！遂平李仲安，携一仆一佃客至偃城，夜宿邵辅之书
斋中，是夜仆逃，仲安觉其逸也，骑马与佃客往临 急追之。时当七月，天大热，炎风如箭，埃尘漫天，至辰
时而还。曾不及三时，往退百二十里，既不获其人，复宿于邵氏斋。忽夜间闻呻吟之声，但言救我，不知其谁
也。 火寻之，乃仲安之佃客也。上吐下泻，目上视而不下，胸胁痛不可动摇，口欠而脱臼，四肢厥冷，此正
风、湿、 三者俱合之症也。其婿曾闻其言，乃取六一散以新汲水锉生姜调之，顿服半升，其人复吐。乃再调
半升，令徐服之，良久方息。至明，又饮数服，遂能起，调养三日平复。（雄按∶此证近世屡行，然多在夏
热亢旱之年。今秋，江浙盛行，死者甚众。余延医者，无不活。询其病前有无影响，或曰五心烦热者数日矣，
或曰身中殊不自觉，但视物皆作红色，已而病即陡起。大端倪若此，伏暑可知。七月中旬，治一陈妪，年已七
旬，吐泻转筋，肢冷音飒，脉伏无溺，口渴汗多，腹痛胎黄，自欲投井。予以白虎合三黄，加木瓜、威灵仙，略
佐细辛少许，兼以西瓜汁恣饮，即日而瘳。一李姓妇人患此，更兼溺血如注，头痛如劈，脉甚弦驶，心悸畏惊。
余谓虽属暑邪，肝阳炽极，以犀角、栀子、柏叶、茅根、石斛、滑石、竹茹、银花、生苡仁，为大剂，和入藕
汁，送下当归龙荟丸三钱而霍乱即止。专治血分，旬日亦痊。若此二法，即余前论中，亦未之及也。）
张甲侨居司徒蔡谟家，远出数宿，谟昼眠，梦甲云∶暴病心腹疼，腹满不得吐而死。所病干霍乱可治，而
人莫知其药，故死耳。但以蜘蛛生断其脚，吞之则愈耳。谟觉，探之果死。其后干霍乱者，试用辄瘥。（《客中间
集》出《幽明录》。）
孙文垣治程氏子，先醉酒，后御色，次早四肢冷，胃脘痛极，脉仅得四至。或以郁火为治，投以寒凉，痛
更甚，三日前所食之西瓜，吐出未化。乃翁以为阴症伤寒，欲用附子理中汤，不决，逆孙治之。视其面色青惨，
叫痛而声不扬，坐卧烦乱，此是霍乱兼蛔厥之症也。先当止痛安蛔，后理霍乱，可免死也，迟则误事矣。急用

夏可虑。至期暴脱，急着人相邀，已无及矣。（凡吐泻转筋者，其肝脉必弦洪，未必平素有病也。）
陈三农治一妇，暑月方饭后，即饮水而睡，睡中心腹痛极，肢冷上过肘膝，欲吐利而不得吐利，绞痛垂死，

四肢温暖，面色如常，然昏昏似醉，懒于言语。恐元气大削，遂用归、芍、川芎、茯苓、豆蔻、木香、陈皮、
木通等，四剂全愈。
王宇泰治一老人，暑月霍乱，昏冒不知人，脉七八至，洪大无力，头热如火，足寒如冰，半身不遂，牙关
紧急。此年高气弱，不任暑气，阳不维阴即泻，阴不维阳即吐，阴阳不相维，则既吐且泻也。正值暑气极盛之

张子和说：泰和年间，我拜访陈州广济禅院，那里的住持僧人患霍乱。一位方士用附子一枚（重二两）、干姜一两，泡水一碗同煎，放冷后服用，服完后呕血而死。不久，合流镇的李彦直，半夜突然发生呕吐腹泻，自行取理中丸服用。医生到来后，认为有食积，用巴豆泻下，三五丸药也不见效，到天亮死去，这难道不可悲吗！
接着，李仲安带着一个仆人和一个佃客到偃城，夜里住宿在邵辅之的书斋中。这天晚上仆人逃跑，李仲安察觉后，骑马与佃客去紧急追赶。当时正值七月，天气大热，热风如箭，尘土漫天，到辰时才回来。往返不到三个时辰，路程一百二十里，既没追上那人，又宿在邵氏书斋。忽然夜间听到呻吟声，只喊“救我”，不知是谁。点着火寻找，原来是李仲安的佃客。上吐下泻，眼睛向上看不能向下转动，胸胁痛得不能动摇，打哈欠导致下巴脱臼，四肢冰冷，这正是风、湿、暑三者合邪的病症。他的女婿曾听过这种说法，于是取六一散，用新打的井水加切碎的生姜调匀，一次性服用半升，病人又吐了。于是再调半升，让他慢慢服用，过了很久才停止。到了天明，又喝了几服，就能起来了，调养三天后痊愈。（徐灵胎按语：此证近代屡见不鲜，但多在夏季酷热干旱之年。今年秋天，江浙地区盛行，死者众多。我延请医生诊治，没有不活的。询问发病前有无征兆，有的说五心烦热好几天了，有的说身体没什么感觉，只是看东西都发红，随即病就突然发作。大致端倪如此，可知是伏暑。七月中旬，治疗一位陈姓老妇人，七十多岁，吐泻转筋，肢冷音哑，脉伏无尿，口渴汗多，腹痛面色黄，自己想去投井。我用白虎汤合三黄汤，加木瓜、威灵仙，略佐少许细辛，兼让西瓜汁随意饮用，当天就好了。有一位李姓妇人患此病，更兼尿血如注，头痛如劈，脉象弦急，心悸怕惊。我说虽然属于暑邪，但肝阳炽盛至极，用犀角、栀子、侧柏叶、白茅根、石斛、滑石、竹茹、金银花、生薏苡仁，组成大剂，调入藕汁，送服当归龙荟丸三钱，霍乱即止。专治血分，十天也痊愈了。像这两种方法，就是我前面论述中也没提到的。）
张甲寄居在司徒蔡谟家，远出几夜未归。蔡谟白天睡觉，梦见张甲说：“突发心腹疼痛，腹胀无法呕吐而死亡。”所患的是干霍乱，本可治愈，但人们不知道用什么药，所以死了罢了。只要把活蜘蛛折断脚，吞下去就好了。蔡谟醒来，探视果然死了。后来遇到干霍乱患者，试用此法都痊愈了。（出自《幽明录》，引自《客中间集》）。
孙文垣治疗程家的儿子，先醉酒，后行房事，第二天早上四肢冰冷，胃脘剧痛，脉搏只有四至。有人用郁火来治疗，投以寒凉药，疼痛更厉害，三天前吃的西瓜，吐出来还没消化。父亲认为是阴症伤寒，想用附子理中汤，拿不定主意，便请孙文垣诊治。看他面色青惨，叫痛声音不扬，坐卧烦乱，这是霍乱兼蛔厥的病症。应当先止痛安蛔，后调理霍乱，可以免于一死，迟了就误事了。急忙用五灵脂醋炒三钱，苍术一钱五分，乌梅三个，川椒、炮姜、梅核仁各五分，水煎服下，疼痛减轻大半。下午用大腹皮、藿香、半夏、陈皮、山楂、五灵脂、茯苓，两帖全安。
沈继庵的妻子，患发热头痛，遍身疼痛，干呕口渴，胸膈胀闷，坐卧不安。医生给参苏饮，干呕更厉害，又加上烦躁。孙文垣诊脉，右手洪大倍于左手，左手浮数，说：“这是干霍乱。”用藿香正气散去白术、桔梗，加入白扁豆、香薷，一帖吐止。惟独口渴额痛尚未消除，用石膏、香薷、滑石各五钱，橘红、藿香、葛根各二钱，槟榔、木瓜各一钱，甘草五分，生姜三片，一帖而愈。
柴屿青治疗沈阳少宗伯德福，夏天抽筋吐泻，用六和汤而愈。秋天过府署致谢。再诊其脉，弦洪异常，说应该配合丸剂调养。他说病已经好了，不信。于是对京兆吴颖庵说：“德公脉气不好，不预先服药，脉象已提前显现，明年春夏令人担忧。”到了期限暴脱，急着派人邀请，已经来不及了。（凡是吐泻转筋的人，其肝脉必现弦洪，未必平素有病。）
陈三农治疗一位妇人，暑月刚吃完饭，就喝水睡觉，睡中心腹剧痛，四肢冰冷上过肘膝，想吐利却吐不出来，绞痛垂死，六脉俱伏，令她用藿香正气散煎汤催吐。一次吐后减半，再吐就安定了。《局方》藿香正气散：厚朴、陈皮、桔梗、半夏、甘草、白芷、茯苓、藿香、大腹皮、紫苏叶。
陆祖如治疗陈敬桥的母亲，四十多岁，身躯肥胖，暑月多吃生冷，半夜腹痛，上不得吐，下不得泻。有人给藿香正气散，入口即吐，咽不下去。诊脉，左三部沉紧而细，右寸关沉实有力，面色紫胀，四肢冰冷，昏迷不省人事，牙关紧闭。这是寒气太重，中焦气滞，不能运化。先用乌梅擦牙，等嘴张开，即投抱一丸三厘，腹中鸣响，排出污秽若干，四肢温暖，面色如常，然而昏昏似醉，懒于言语。恐怕元气大伤，于是用当归、芍药、川芎、茯苓、豆蔻、木香、陈皮、木通等，四剂全愈。
王宇泰治疗一位老人，暑月霍乱，昏迷不省人事，脉搏七八至，洪大无力，头热如火，足寒如冰，半身不遂，牙关紧急。这是年高气弱，不耐暑气，阳不维阴则泻，阴不维阳则吐，阴阳不相维系，则既吐且泻。正值暑气极盛之时，非甘辛大寒之剂，不能泻其暑热，降其阳焰，而安其神明。于是用甘露饮，甘辛大寒，泄热补气，加茯苓以分阴阳，雪水调灌即愈。
治疗一位妇人，患吐泻十余日，水米不入，发热烦躁，想脱衣服，六脉浮洪，重按全无。用六君子汤加藿香、砂仁、附子，冷服，诸症悉愈。
薛立斋治疗进士李通甫的妻子，冬天开衣箱，里面的内衣裳是夏天晒过的，打开时觉得被暑气侵袭。良久，患霍乱，足趾脚跟都转筋，非常害怕，自认必死。用香薷饮一剂，急煎，下咽即愈。
仪部李北川，仲夏患腹痛吐泻，两手摸上去热，按下去冷，轻诊脉浮大，重诊脉微细，这是阴寒症。急服附子理中汤，没效。继续服至四剂而愈。
包瑞溪学宪，传缪仲淳治伤暑霍乱神方：丝瓜叶一斤，白霜梅肉一枚，连同核中仁一起研极烂，新汲水调服，入口立刻痊愈。（出自《广笔记》）。
Zi Hezi said: During the Taihe era, I visited Guangji Zen Temple in Chenzhou. The abbot monk there suffered from cholera (Huo Luan). A physician used one piece of Fuzi (Aconite Root) weighing two liang and one liang of Ganjiang (Dried Ginger), soaked in a bowl of water, boiled together, cooled, and administered orally. After ingestion, the patient vomited blood and died. Shortly after, Li Yanzhi of Heliu Town suddenly experienced vomiting and diarrhea at midnight. He self-administered Lizhong Wan (Regulate the Middle Pill). When the doctor arrived, he diagnosed food stagnation and administered Radix Crotonis Fructus (Badou) to purge. Three to five pills had no effect, and the patient died by dawn. Is this not tragic?
Subsequently, Li Zhongan traveled to Yancheng with a servant and a tenant farmer. They stayed overnight in Shao Fuzhi's study. That night, the servant escaped. Upon realizing this, Li Zhongan rode a horse with the tenant farmer to pursue him urgently. It was July, extremely hot, with scorching winds like arrows and dust filling the sky. They returned at the Chen hour (7-9 AM). In less than three shichen (6 hours), they covered 120 li round trip but failed to catch the man, so they stayed again at the Shao residence. Suddenly, moaning sounds were heard at night, only shouting "Save me," without knowing who it was. Lighting a fire to search, it turned out to be Li Zhongan's tenant farmer. He suffered from upper vomiting and lower diarrhea, eyes fixed upward unable to look down, severe pain in the chest and hypochondrium making movement impossible, jaw dislocation due to yawning, and cold limbs. This is precisely a syndrome where Wind, Dampness, and Summerheat combine. His son-in-law recalled a method, took Liuyi San (Six-to-One Powder), mixed it with fresh well-water and chopped fresh ginger, and administered half a sheng at once. The patient vomited again. So, another half sheng was prepared for slow administration. After a long time, the symptoms subsided. By dawn, after several more doses, he could get up and recovered after three days of recuperation. (Xu Lingtai's note: This condition is common nowadays, mostly occurring in years of extreme summer heat and drought. This autumn, it prevailed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, causing many deaths. I consulted physicians, and all patients survived. Asking about premonitory signs, some reported five-center heat for several days; others felt nothing unusual but saw everything as red before the sudden onset. Such clues indicate latent summerheat. In mid-July, I treated an elderly woman surnamed Chen, aged over seventy, with vomiting, diarrhea, muscle cramps, cold limbs, hoarse voice, hidden pulse, anuria, thirst, profuse sweating, abdominal pain, and yellowish complexion. She attempted suicide by jumping into a well. I prescribed Baihu Tang (White Tiger Decoction) combined with Sanhuang (Three Yellows), adding Mugua (Chaenomeles Fruit) and Weilingxian (Swallowwort Stem), with a trace of Xixin (Asarum), and advised liberal drinking of watermelon juice. She recovered that day. Another female patient surnamed Li suffered from this, accompanied by profuse hematuria, splitting headache, wiry and rapid pulse, palpitations, and fear. I stated that although it belongs to Summerheat pathogen, Liver Yang is blazing intensely. I used a large dose of Xijiao (Rhinoceros Horn - substitute with Buffalo Horn in modern practice), Zhizi (Gardenia Fruit), Bieye (Platycodon Root or Platycodi Radix, here likely referring to Ce Bai Ye/Platycladi Cacumen based on context of bleeding), Maogen (Imperata Rhizome), Shihu (Dendrobium Stem), Huashi (Talcum), Zhuru (Bamboo Shavings), Jinyinhua (Lonicera Flower), and Sheng Yiren (Coix Seed), mixed with lotus root juice, and administered Danggui Longhui Wan (Angelica Longan Pill) three qian orally. Cholera stopped immediately. Treating the blood aspect, she recovered in ten days. These two methods were not mentioned in my previous discussions.)
Zhang Jia resided at the home of Cui Mo, Minister of Personnel. After being away for several nights, Cui Mo dreamed of Zhang Jia saying, "I suddenly suffered heart and abdominal pain, abdominal distension, inability to vomit, and died." The disease was Gan Huoluan (Dry Cholera), which was treatable, but people did not know the remedy, hence death. The cure is to take a live spider, break its legs, and swallow it whole. Cui Mo woke up, checked, and found Zhang Jia indeed dead. Later, when encountering cases of Dry Cholera, this method was tried and proved effective. (From Youming Lu, cited in Ke Zhong Jian Ji).
Sun Wen Yuan treated the son of the Cheng family. He had first drunk excessively, then engaged in sexual activity. The next morning, his limbs were cold, epigastric pain was severe, and the pulse was only four beats per breath. Someone treated it as stagnant fire and administered cooling herbs, worsening the pain. The watermelon eaten three days prior was vomited undigested. The father suspected Yin-type Cold Damage and wanted to use Fuzi Lizhong Tang (Aconite Regulate Middle Decoction) but hesitated, so he invited Sun Wen Yuan. Observing the blueish-pale complexion, suppressed cry of pain, restlessness in sitting and lying, Sun diagnosed this as Cholera complicated by Ascariasis Colic (Hui Jue). Pain relief and worm-calming should come first, followed by Cholera treatment, to avoid death; delay would be fatal. Urgently, Wulingzhi (Trogopterus Dung) stir-fried with vinegar 3 qian, Cangzhu (Atractylodes Rhizome) 1.5 qian, Wumei (Mume Fruit) 3 pieces, Chuanjiao (Sichuan Pepper), Paojiang (Prepared Ginger), and Meixin (Apricot Kernel) each 0.5 fen, were decocted in water and given. Pain reduced by more than half. In the afternoon, Dafupi (Citrus Peel), Huoxiang (Patchouli), Banxia (Pinellia), Chenpi (Aged Tangerine Peel), Shanzha (Hawthorn Fruit), Wulingzhi, and Fuling (Poria) were used. Two prescriptions led to full recovery.
Shen Ji'an's wife suffered from fever, headache, generalized body pain, dry retching, thirst, chest and diaphragm oppression, and restlessness. The physician gave Shen Su Yin (Ginseng and Perilla Drink), which worsened the dry retching and added irritability. Sun Wen Yuan's pulse diagnosis showed the right hand pulse was twice as surging as the left, and the left was floating and rapid. He diagnosed Dry Cholera. He modified Huoxiang Zhengqi San (Regulate Qi and Resolve Exterior Powder) by removing Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome) and Jiegeng (Platycodon Root), adding Baibiandou (White Hyacinth Bean) and Xiangru (Mosla Herb). One prescription stopped the vomiting. Thirst and forehead pain remained. He prescribed Shigao (Gypsum), Xiangru, and Huashi each 5 qian, Juhong (Aged Tangerine Peel), Huoxiang, and Gegen (Kudzu Root) each 2 qian, Binglang (Areca Seed) and Mugua each 1 qian, Gancao (Licorice Root) 0.5 fen, and 3 slices of Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger). One prescription cured her.
Chai Yu Qing treated De Fu, Vice Minister of Rites in Shenyang. In summer, he suffered muscle cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea, cured by Liuhe Tang (Six Harmonies Decoction). In autumn, he thanked Chai. Re-examining the pulse, it was exceptionally wiry and surging. Chai suggested taking pill preparations for maintenance. De Fu claimed he was well and disagreed. Chai told Wu Ying'an, Capital Prefect, "De Fu's pulse qi is poor. Had he taken medicine earlier, the pulse changes would have been addressed. Next spring and summer will be worrying." At the predicted time, he suffered sudden collapse. Invitations came too late. (Note: For vomiting, diarrhea, and cramps, the Liver pulse must be wiry and surging; it does not necessarily imply chronic illness.)
Chen San Nong treated a woman. In summer, after eating, she drank water and slept. She woke with severe central abdominal pain, cold limbs extending above elbows and knees, desire to vomit and defecate but unable to do so, colicky pain nearing death, and all six pulses hidden. He ordered Huoxiang Zhengqi San decocted to induce vomiting. Vomiting once reduced symptoms by half; vomiting again brought peace. Ju Fang Huoxiang Zhengqi San contains: Houpo (Magnolia Bark), Chenpi, Jiegeng, Banxia, Gancao, Baizhi (Angelica Dahurica Root), Fuling, Huoxiang, Dafupi, Ziyey (Perilla Leaf).
Lu Zu Ru treated the mother of Chen Jingqiao, over forty, obese, who consumed much raw/cold food in summer. Midnight abdominal pain, unable to vomit or defecate. Huoxiang Zhengqi San was given, but she vomited it immediately upon entry. Pulse: Left three positions deep, tight, and fine; Right Cun and Guan deep, solid, and forceful. Complexion purple and swollen, limbs cold, unconscious, teeth clenched. This is severe Cold Qi causing Stagnation in the Middle Jiao, preventing transformation. First, Wumei (Mume Fruit) was rubbed on teeth to open the mouth. Then, Bao Yi Wan (Embrace One Pill) 3 li was administered. Abdominal rumbling occurred, foul matter was expelled, limbs warmed, complexion normalized, but she remained drowsy and taciturn. Fearing significant Qi depletion, Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig), Shaoyao (Peony Root), Chuanxiong (Szechwan Lovage Rhizome), Fuling, Doukou (Cardamom), Muxiang (Aucklandia Root), Chenpi, Mutong (Akebia Stem) were used. Four prescriptions led to complete recovery.
Wang Yu Tai treated an elderly man with summer Cholera, unconscious, pulse 7-8 beats per breath, surging and forceless, head hot as fire, feet cold as ice, hemiplegia, and locked jaw. Due to advanced age and weak Qi, he could not withstand Summerheat. Yang failing to anchor Yin leads to diarrhea; Yin failing to anchor Yang leads to vomiting. Lack of mutual anchoring causes both vomiting and diarrhea. During peak Summerheat, only sweet-acrid great-cold formulas can clear heat, subdue Yang, and calm the Spirit. Ganlu Yin (Sweet Dew Drink), a sweet-acrid great-cold formula to drain heat and tonify Qi, plus Fuling to separate Yin and Yang, administered with snow water, cured him.
He treated a woman with vomiting and diarrhea for over ten days, unable to intake water or grain, fever, irritability, desire to remove clothes, floating and surging pulse, empty upon heavy pressure. Liujun Zi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction) with Huoxiang, Sharen (Amomum Fruit), and Fuzi, administered cold, cured all symptoms.
Xue Lizhai treated the wife of Jinshi Li Tongfu. In winter, opening a wardrobe containing summer-dried undergarments, she felt invaded by residual Summerheat. Soon after, she developed Cholera with muscle cramps in toes and heels, feared death. Xiangru Yin (Mosla Drink) one dose, rapidly decocted, cured her upon swallowing.
Yibu Li Beichuan, in mid-summer, suffered abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. Hands felt hot to touch but cold to press. Light pulse floating and large, heavy pulse minute and fine. This is a Yin-Cold syndrome. Urgent administration of Fuzi Lizhong Tang had no effect initially. Continuing to the fourth dose resulted in recovery.
Bao Ruixue Xuechuan transmitted Miu Zhong Chun's divine prescription for Summerheat Cholera: 1 jin of Loofah Leaf, one white frost plum meat (with pit kernel), ground extremely fine, mixed with fresh well-water and taken orally. Immediate cure. (From Guang Biji).
Ma Mingju transmitted a Cholera formula: Crushed Millet (with husk) decocted in water. Taken orally, immediate cure. Proven efficacious repeatedly.
Gu Shengfu from Liangxi transmitted a Cholera formula: Juice extracted from Lablab Leaf (one bowl), drunk, immediate cure.
Miu Zhong Chun treated a maid-servant in Gao Cun's household with Cholera. Sandalwood (Sharen) 1 liang, stir-fried and ground, mixed with a pinch of salt, diluted in boiling water, taken cold. One dose cured. If caused by cold food, add Wuzhuyu (Evodia Fruit) 4 qian.
