上件，唯用市河中水，每遇更衣罢，便冷沃之。久沃为佳，久患者皆瘥。予始得于信州
侯使君曰，沃之两次即瘥，予用之亦再沃而瘥，并与数人用皆然。神奇可惊，不类他药，无

又记一事，予故人刘正夫，罢官闽州次建溪，常叩一大家求舍。闭门不纳，既而使人谢
云∶属其父有病甚，不能延客。刘问其状，曰病渴殆死矣。刘许为其营药，俄而其子弟群至，
求治其父。刘即烧药与之，明目来谢云，饮药一杯，是夜啜水减七八分，此刘君目击者。其

，澄去滓。尝其味如薄灰汁，乘渴顿饮之，此亦糯稻缩水之一验也，故因附此。
【治肠痔下血如注水不瘥者】
以上药物，仅使用市场上购买的河中的水。每当排便结束后，立即用冷水冲洗患处。长时间冲洗效果更佳，患病日久者都能痊愈。我最初是从信州的侯使君那里听说的，他说冲洗两次即可痊愈。我亲自试用，也是冲洗两次后痊愈，并给几个人使用，结果都一样。其神奇之处令人惊讶，不像其他药物，没有河水（无法替代）。
【治小便不通】
将琥珀研成粉末，每次服用二钱，用萱草根煎煮的浓汁调服，空腹服用。我的朋友，曾因小肠闭塞严重导致淋证，每次排尿只有一两滴，疼痛非常剧烈，使用猛药攻逐均无效。王郇公给予此药，服用一次随即通畅。有人患有痔疮、肠道肿胀，导致无法排尿，症状类似淋疾，其他药物无法通利，只有这种方法可以治疗。
【治小便数方（并治渴）】
取纯糯米一手掌大小的量，临睡前烤至软熟，吃下去，用温酒送服；如果不饮酒，就用温水送服。多吃一点效果更好。服药后走动或静坐片刻，等待胃中空虚时便睡，一夜排尿十多次的人，当晚就能停止。我曾把这当作戏法，与人打赌物品，使用它效果如有神助。有人说这是假火气配合温水的作用，其实不然。大抵糯稻具有收敛缩水的功效，普通人夜里喝酒，当夜往往不排尿，这就是糯米的效力。
又记录一件事：我的老朋友刘正夫，罢官后途经闽州在建溪停留，常向一户大户人家求借住所。那家人闭门不接纳，随后派人道歉说：“恰逢家父病重，无法接待客人。”刘正夫询问病情，那人说父亲病渴几乎要死了。刘正夫答应为他配制药物，不久他的子弟们纷纷赶来，请求救治父亲。刘正夫立即烧制药物给他们，约定第二天来道谢。他们说，喝下一杯药，当晚喝水的量减少了七八分。这是刘正夫亲眼目睹的事实。该方剂使用糯稻秆，砍去穗和根，取其中心部分，在干净的容器中烧成灰，每次取一合左右，用一碗汤浸泡很久，澄清后去掉渣滓。尝起来味道像稀薄的草木灰水，趁口渴时一次性喝完。这也是糯稻收敛缩水功效的一个验证，因此附记于此。
[For treating hemorrhoids with rectal bleeding like a gush of water that does not heal]
The above method uses only river water purchased from the market. After each bowel movement, immediately wash the affected area with cold water. Long-term washing is better; those who have suffered for a long time will all recover. I first learned this from Lord Hou, the Envoy of Xinzhou. He said that washing twice would lead to recovery. I used it myself and also recovered after two washes. I applied it to several other people, and the results were the same. Its miraculous nature is astonishing and unlike other medicines; it cannot be replaced by [other] river water.
[For treating urinary retention]
Grind amber into powder. Take 2 qian (approx. 6-9g) per dose, mixed with a strong decoction of Hemerocallis root (Daylily root), taken on an empty stomach. A friend of mine once suffered from severe blockage in the small intestine leading to strangury (dysuria). Each urination yielded only one or two drops, accompanied by extreme pain. Aggressive purgative medicines failed to relieve the obstruction. Wang Xungong provided this medicine, and after one dose, urination resumed immediately. Another patient suffered from hemorrhoids and intestinal swelling, which prevented urination, presenting symptoms similar to strangury. Other medicines failed to promote urination, but this method was effective.
[Prescription for frequent urination (also treats thirst)]
Take a handful of pure glutinous rice (approx. 50g), roast it until soft and cooked just before going to bed. Eat it, followed by warm wine. If alcohol is not consumed, use warm water instead. Consuming more yields better results. Walk or sit for a while afterward, wait until the stomach feels empty, then sleep. For those urinating more than ten times a night, this will stop the frequency that very night. I once treated this as a parlor trick, betting items with others, and its efficacy seemed divine. Some claim it is merely the effect of false fire combined with warm water, but this is incorrect. Generally, glutinous rice has astringent properties that reduce fluid loss. Ordinary people who drink alcohol at night often do not urinate that night; this is due to the power of glutinous rice.
I also record another incident: My old friend Liu Zhengfu, after resigning from office, stayed at Jianxi in Minzhou. He often sought lodging from a prominent family. They initially closed their doors and refused entry, later sending someone to apologize saying, "Our father is critically ill and we cannot receive guests." Liu asked about his condition, and they replied that he was suffering from severe thirst and was near death. Liu offered to prepare medicine for him. Soon, his son and relatives arrived, begging for treatment. Liu immediately prepared the medicine for them, arranging for them to return the next day to express gratitude. They reported that after drinking one cup of the medicine, his water intake decreased by seven or eight tenths that night. This was witnessed personally by Liu. The prescription uses stalks of glutinous rice. Cut off the ears and roots, take the central part, and burn it to ash in a clean vessel. Use approximately one he (approx. 100ml volume) of ash, steeped in one bowl of water for a long time. Clarify the liquid and discard the dregs. It tastes like weak lye water. Drink it all at once while thirsty. This is another verification of the astringent property of glutinous rice in reducing fluid loss, so I append it here.
