（即鬼疰。）
薛立斋治锦衣杨汞兴，举家避眚，有仆沉醉失避，既而神思昏昧，遍身青伤，令煎金银藤汤，灌之即愈。
一妇人忽昏愦，发谵语，自云为前谋赖某人银两，某神责我，将你起解到城隍理问。两脚踝膝肾处皆青肿，
痛不可忍，口称苦楚。次日方苏，痛尚不止。用金银藤两余，水煎服即愈。
一妇人入古墓，患前症，以紫金锭灌之即苏。通政余子华太常汪用之，皆因往吊而卒死丧家。（雄按∶
余治邵氏子、屠氏女，皆以送殡患此，并以苏合丸愈之。）
谢士泰《删繁方》治尸疰，或见尸，或闻哭声者，取死人席弃路上者，一虎口长三寸，水三升，煮一升，
服立效。按此即用死人枕之遗意也。（《本草纲目》。）
庚申予家一妇人，梦中见二苍头，一前一后，手中持一物，前者云∶到也未？后应云∶到也。击下爆然有
声，遂魇，觉后心一点痛不可忍，昏闷一时许。予忽忆神精丹有此一症，取三粒，令服之，少顷已无病矣。云
服药觉痛止神醒，今如常矣。日后相识，稍有邪气，与一二服，无不应验。方在《千金》中，乃治中风之要药。
但近世少曾青磁石，为难合耳。（《医学纲目》。）
窦材治一妇人，因心气不足，夜夜有少年人附着其体。诊之，六脉皆无病。令灸上脘穴五十壮，至夜鬼来
离床五尺不能近。服姜附汤、镇心丹，五日而愈。
一贵人妻为鬼所着，百法不效。有一法师，书天医符奏玉帝，亦不效。窦令服睡圣散三钱，灸巨阙穴五
十壮，又灸石门穴三百壮。至二百壮，病患开眼如故，服姜附汤、镇心丹而愈。
一妇人病虚劳，真气将脱，为鬼所着，窦用大艾火灸关元，彼难忍痛。乃令服睡圣散三钱，复灸至一百五
十壮而醒。又服又灸，至三百壮，鬼邪去，劳病亦瘥。
越民高十二歉岁无食，挈妻儿至德清， 妻于秀州仓德李深家为乳媪。高得钱还越而死。李仆许八随直在
秀，以官归德清。及再来之日，媪患恍惚谵语，作厥夫声，责骂故妻，不为资荐。李问何以得至此？曰∶我随
许仆船便，是以得来。李命巫遂，未至。谩烧苍术烟熏燎，鬼遽云∶我怕烟气，不敢更留。遂无语，媪病亦瘥。
今人冲恶者，必 术，盖邪鬼所畏也。（《类编》出《医说》。）
李行简外甥女适葛氏而寡，次嫁朱训，忽得疾如中风状。山人曹居白视之，曰∶此邪病也。乃出针刺其足
肿上二寸许，至一茶久，妇人醒曰∶疾平矣。始言每疾作时，梦故夫引行山林中。今早梦如前，而故夫为棘刺
刺足胫间，不可脱，惶惶宛转，乘间乃得归。曹笑曰∶适所刺者，八邪穴也。（《脞说》。）
（即鬼疰病。）
薛立斋治疗锦衣卫杨汞兴，全家躲避灾祸，有一名仆人因醉酒未能及时躲避。不久后仆人神志昏沉模糊，全身出现青色瘀伤。薛立斋让人煎煮金银藤汤，灌服后立刻痊愈。
另一位妇人突然昏迷不醒，说胡话，自称因为之前谋划赖掉某人的银两，被神明责怪，要将她押解到城隍庙审问。她的双脚踝、膝盖和肾区都出现青肿，疼痛难忍，口中叫苦连天。第二天才苏醒，但疼痛仍未停止。薛立斋用一两多金银藤，水煎后服用，立刻痊愈。
还有一位妇人进入古墓，患上上述病症，用紫金锭灌服后立刻苏醒。通政使余子华、太常寺卿汪用之，都是因为去吊唁而死在丧家的人。（雄按：我治疗邵家的儿子、屠家的女儿，也都是因为在送殡时患上此病，都用苏合丸治愈了。）
谢士泰的《删繁方》治疗尸疰病，症状为看见尸体或听到哭声的，取丢弃在路上的死人席子，截取一虎口长（约三寸），用水三升，煮至一升，服用后立即见效。按：这也就是沿用“死人枕”遗法的意思。（出自《本草纲目》。）
庚申年，我家一位妇人，梦中见到两个黑脸仆役，一前一后，手中拿着一个物体。前面的说：“到了吗？”后面的回答：“到了。”随后击打发出爆裂声，妇人于是被魇住（鬼压床），醒来后心口一点疼痛难忍，昏闷了一时许。我突然想起神精丹可以治疗这种症状，取出三粒让她服用，过了一会儿就没病了。她说服药后感觉疼痛停止、神志清醒，现在一切如常。日后若相识之人稍有邪气侵扰，给服一二剂，没有不灵验的。该方记载于《千金方》，是治疗中风的重要药物。只是近代缺少曾青和磁石，难以配制罢了。（出自《医学纲目》。）
窦材治疗一位妇人，因心气不足，每晚都有少年人附着在她身上。诊脉发现六脉皆无病象。窦材让人灸上脘穴五十壮，到了晚上鬼魂来犯，离床五尺就不能靠近。随后服用姜附汤、镇心丹，五天痊愈。
一位权贵夫人被鬼魂附着，各种方法都不见效。有一位法师，书写天医符奏报玉帝，也不见效。窦材让她服用睡圣散三钱，灸巨阙穴五十壮，又灸石门穴三百壮。灸到二百壮时，病患睁开眼睛如常，随后服用姜附汤、镇心丹而痊愈。
一位妇人患虚劳病，真气即将脱失，又被鬼魂附着。窦材用大艾火灸关元穴，病人难以忍受疼痛。于是让她先服用睡圣散三钱，再灸至一百五十壮后醒来。又服又灸，直到三百壮，鬼邪去除，虚劳病也好了。
越地百姓高十二，因歉收无粮，带着妻儿来到德清。他的妻子在秀州仓德李深家做乳母。高十二拿到钱回越地就死了。李家的仆人许八随船在秀州，后来乘官船回德清。等到再次来的时候，这位乳母患恍惚说胡话，模仿死去丈夫的声音，责骂亡妻不为亡夫资荐冥福。李深问她怎么会变成这样？她说：“我跟着许仆的船便回来的。”李深请巫师来，还没到。就随意烧苍术烟熏燎，鬼魂急忙说：“我怕烟气，不敢再留。”于是就不说话了，乳母的病也好了。如今人们冲撞恶气时，必用苍术，大概是鬼邪所畏惧的原因。（出自《类编》，引自《医说》。）
李行简的外甥女嫁给葛氏后守寡，第二次嫁给朱训，忽然得病像中风的样子。隐士曹居白诊治，说：“这是邪病。”于是拿出针刺她足部肿胀上方约二寸处，扎了一盏茶的功夫，妇人醒来后说：“病好了。”起初说每次发病时，梦见已故丈夫拉着她在山林中行走。今天早上梦跟以前一样，但已故丈夫被荆棘刺伤了小腿间，无法挣脱，惊慌失措辗转反侧，趁机才得以回来。曹居白笑着说：“刚才刺的是八邪穴。”（出自《脞说》。）
(Also known as Gui Zhu disease.)
Xue Lizhai treated Yang Gongxing of the Jin Yi Wei (Embroidered Uniform Guard). The entire family was avoiding a disaster, but one servant failed to take shelter due to drunkenness. Soon after, the servant's mental state became confused and dull, with blue bruises covering his whole body. Xue Lizhai ordered decoction of Lonicerae Japonicae Herba (Jinyin Teng) soup, which cured him immediately upon administration.
Another woman suddenly fell into a coma, speaking deliriously. She claimed that because she had previously plotted to default on a debt to someone, a deity blamed her and was having her arrested and taken to the City God Temple for interrogation. Her ankles, knees, and kidney areas were all swollen and bruised blue; the pain was unbearable, and she cried out in agony. She regained consciousness the next day, but the pain persisted. Xue Lizhai prescribed over one tael of Lonicerae Japonicae Herba (Jinyin Teng), decocted in water. She recovered immediately after taking it.
A woman who entered an ancient tomb suffered from the aforementioned symptoms. She was revived immediately after being administered Zijin Ding (Purple Gold Pill). Yu Zihua, Commissioner of Communications, and Wang Yongzhi, Grand Secretary of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, both died while attending funerals at mourning households. (Note by Xiong: I treated the son of the Shao family and the daughter of the Tu family, who both contracted this illness while attending funerals, and cured them both with Suhexiang Wan (Styrax Pill).)
Xie Shitai’s *Shanfan Fang* treats Shi Zhu (Corpse Transmission) characterized by seeing corpses or hearing crying sounds. It prescribes taking discarded mats belonging to the dead found on roadsides. Cut a piece three cun long (approximately the width of a tiger's mouth), boil in three sheng of water until reduced to one sheng, and administer orally for immediate effect. Note: This follows the tradition of using "dead man's pillows." (From *Bencao Gangmu* / Compendium of Materia Medica.)
In the Gengshen year, a woman in my household dreamed of two dark-skinned servants, one ahead and one behind, holding an object. The front one asked, "Have you arrived?" The back one replied, "Yes." Then a blow struck with a cracking sound, causing her to be pinned down by a nightmare (Ya Mo). Upon waking, she felt sharp, unbearable pain at a specific point in her heart region and remained faint and dizzy for about an hour. I suddenly recalled that Shenjing Dan (Divine Spirit Pill) treats this specific symptom. I took three pills and had her ingest them. After a short while, she was free of illness. She reported that after taking the medicine, the pain stopped and her spirit cleared, returning to normal. In subsequent years, if acquaintances showed slight signs of evil qi invasion, administering one or two doses proved invariably effective. This formula is found in *Qianjin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) and is a key remedy for wind-stroke. However, in recent times, Cengqing (Azurite) and Citrigyri Magnetitum (Magnetite) are scarce, making preparation difficult. (From *Yixue Gangmu* / Outline of Medical Knowledge.)
Dou Cai treated a woman whose Heart Qi was deficient, causing young men to attach to her body every night. Pulse diagnosis revealed no abnormalities in the six pulses. Dou Cai ordered moxibustion on the Shangwan (CV13) acupoint, fifty moxa cones. At night, when the ghosts came, they could not approach within five chi of the bed. She then took Jiangfu Tang (Ginger and Aconite Decoction) and Zhenshen Dan (Heart-Calming Pill) and recovered in five days.
The wife of a nobleman was possessed by a ghost; various methods failed. A Daoist priest wrote a Tianyi Fu (Heavenly Physician Talisman) and presented it to the Jade Emperor, but it also failed. Dou Cai ordered her to take Shuisheng San (Sleeping Sage Powder), three qian, followed by moxibustion on the Jueque (CV14) acupoint, fifty cones, and further moxibustion on the Shimen (CV5) acupoint, three hundred cones. By the time two hundred cones were applied, the patient opened her eyes normally. She then took Jiangfu Tang and Zhenshen Dan and recovered.
A woman suffering from Xu Lao (Deficiency Consumption) had her True Qi nearly depleted and was possessed by a ghost. Dou Cai used large moxa fires on the Guanyuan (CV4) acupoint. The patient found the pain intolerable. Therefore, he had her first take Shuisheng San, three qian, before continuing moxibustion up to one hundred and fifty cones, after which she woke up. Through repeated administration and moxibustion, totaling three hundred cones, the evil spirits departed, and the consumption disease improved.
Gao Shier, a commoner from Yue, lacking food due to poor harvests, brought his wife and children to Deqing. His wife worked as a wet nurse in the household of Li Shen in Xiuzhou Cangde. Gao Shier received money and returned to Yue, where he died. Li's servant, Xu Ba, was traveling in Xiuzhou and later returned to Deqing via an official boat. When Li Shen visited again, the wet nurse exhibited trance-like states and delirious speech, imitating her deceased husband's voice, scolding her late self for not providing spiritual offerings for her husband. Li Shen asked how she came to be in this state. She said, "I came back conveniently following Servant Xu's boat." Li Shen summoned a shaman, but before he arrived, they casually burned Atractylodis Rhizoma (Cangzhu) smoke to fumigate. The ghost hastily said, "I fear the smoke and dare not stay," and then fell silent. The wet nurse's illness also subsided. Nowadays, when people encounter malignant influences, they must use Cangzhu, as it is feared by evil ghosts. (From *Leibian*, citing *Yishuo*.)
Li Xingjian's niece, widowed from the Ge family, remarried Zhu Xun. She suddenly fell ill with symptoms resembling wind-stroke. The recluse Cao Jubai examined her and said, "This is an evil disease." He then used acupuncture needles to prick approximately two cun above the swelling on her foot. After the duration of brewing a cup of tea, the woman woke up and said, "The illness has ceased." She explained that whenever the illness occurred, she dreamed of her deceased husband leading her through forests. That morning, the dream recurred, but her deceased husband was pricked by thorns between his calves and could not escape. Panicking and tossing about, he managed to return. Cao Jubai smiled and said, "The acupoint I just needled was Baxie (EX-LE5)." (From *Suoshuo*.)
