治转筋病。其人臂脚直。脉上下行。微弦。转筋入腹者。此散主之。
鸡屎白为散。取方寸匕。以水六合。和。温服。
歌曰 转筋入腹脉微弦。肝气凌脾岂偶然。木畜为鸡其屎土。研来同类妙周旋。
尤在泾云。内经曰。诸暴强直。皆属于风。转筋入腹者。脾土虚而肝木乘之也。鸡为木
畜。
治阴狐疝气。偏有小大。时时上下者主之。
蜘蛛(十四枚。熬焦。) 桂枝(半两。)
上二味为散。取八分一匕。饮和服。日再。蜜丸亦可。
歌曰 阴狐疝气久难医。(肾囊为阴病。则气之腥臭如狐之臊也。)大小攸偏(或偏于左。
或
)熬杵蜘蛛十四个。桂枝半两恰相宜。
按此病用桂枝。不如用肉桂力更大。
王晋三云。蜘蛛性阴而厉。隐见莫测。可定幽暗之风。其功在壳。能泄下焦结气。肉桂

治蛔虫病。令人吐涎心痛。发作有时。毒药不止者主之。
甘草(二两。) 白粉(一两。) 白蜜(四两。)
上三味。以水三升。先煮甘草。取二升。去滓。内粉蜜。搅令和。煎如薄粥。温服一升。
瘥
歌曰 蛔虫心痛吐涎多。毒药频攻痛不瘥。一(两白)粉二(两)甘(草)四两蜜。
煮分先后取
按。铅粉性善杀虫。今杂于甘草、白蜜之中。以大甘掩其本性。所谓先诱之而后攻之也。
治疗转筋病。患者手臂和腿部僵硬伸直,脉象从寸部到尺部呈上行趋势,脉象微带弦意。如果转筋症状向上蔓延至腹部,使用此散剂主治。
将鸡屎白研成散剂。每次取一方寸匕的量,加入六合水,调和均匀,温服。
歌诀说:转筋入腹且脉象微弦,这是肝气侵犯脾土并非偶然。鸡在五行中属木,其粪便属土,研磨后利用同类相求之理,疗效奇妙周旋。
尤在泾评论道:《内经》说,所有突然发生的强直症状,都归属于风邪。转筋入腹,是因为脾土虚弱而肝木乘虚侵袭所致。鸡在五行中属于木畜。
治疗阴狐疝气。表现为阴囊大小不一,时而上缩时而下坠的症状,使用此方主治。
蜘蛛(十四枚,炒焦)。桂枝(半两)。
以上两味药研成散剂。每次取八分之一方寸匕的量,用温水送服,每日两次。也可以制成蜜丸服用。
歌诀说:阴狐疝气日久难以医治。(阴囊为阴病发作之地,气味腥臭如同狐狸的臊味。)大小偏斜不定(有时偏向左侧,有时偏向右侧),将十四个蜘蛛炒焦捣碎,配合半两桂枝恰好适宜。
按语认为:治疗此病使用桂枝,不如使用肉桂力量更大。
王晋三评论道:蜘蛛性阴而猛烈,出没无常,可以平息潜伏于幽暗处的风邪。其功效主要在壳上,能够疏泄下焦的结聚之气。肉桂芳香……(原文此处似有缺漏或截断)
治疗蛔虫病。导致患者吐涎水、心腹疼痛,发作有定时,使用毒药攻杀无效者,使用此方主治。
甘草(二两)。白粉(一两)。白蜜(四两)。
以上三味药,用水三升,先煮甘草,取二升药液,滤去药渣。加入白粉和白蜜,搅拌调和,煎煮至如薄粥般的稠度。每次温服一升。
痊愈。
歌诀说:蛔虫引起的心痛吐涎多,频繁使用毒药攻杀疼痛不愈。一两白粉,二两甘草,四两蜂蜜。
煮药时分先后顺序。
按语认为:铅粉善于杀虫,现在将其混杂在甘草、白蜜之中,以大甘之味掩盖其本性,这就是所谓的先引诱它然后攻击它的方法。
Treats the condition of *Zhuanjin* (muscle cramps/tetany). The patient's arms and legs are stiff and straight. The pulse runs from the cun to chi positions in an upward direction, presenting a slightly wiry (*Xian*) quality. If the cramping extends into the abdomen, this powder is the primary treatment.
Grind chicken excrement white (*Ji Shi Bai*) into a powder. Take one *cun bi* (a square-inch measure) as a dose. Mix with six *liang* of water. Stir well and take warm.
The verse states: Cramping extending to the abdomen with a slightly wiry pulse; Liver Qi invading the Spleen is no coincidence. The Chicken is the Wood animal, its excrement is Earth; grinding them together utilizes the principle of similarity for miraculous efficacy.
You Zaijing commented: The *Neijing* states, "All sudden stiffness and rigidity belong to Wind." In cases of cramping extending to the abdomen, it is due to deficiency of Spleen Earth allowing Liver Wood to overact upon it. The Chicken corresponds to the Wood element.
Treats *Yinhu Shanqi* (scrotal hernia). Characterized by asymmetry in size (one side larger than the other) and intermittent movement up and down. This formula is indicated.
Araneus (*Zhi Zhu*, Spider) (14 pieces, stir-fried until charred). Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig, *Guizhi*) (half tael).
Grind the above two ingredients into a powder. Take 1/8 of a *cun bi* as a dose, mixed with water for administration. Take twice daily. It may also be formed into honey pills.
The verse states: *Yinhu Shanqi* persisting for a long time is difficult to cure. (The scrotum is a Yin pathology; the odor is fishy and foul like the musk of a fox.) Asymmetry in size (sometimes leaning left, sometimes right); ten fried and pounded spiders paired with half a tael of Cinnamon Twig is appropriate.
Note: For this condition, using Rougui (Cinnamon Bark) would be more potent than using Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig).
Wang Jinsan commented: The Spider has a Yin and fierce nature, appearing and disappearing unpredictably; it can settle wind hidden in darkness. Its efficacy lies in the shell, capable of draining stagnant Qi in the Lower Jiao. Rougui (Cinnamon Bark) is aromatic... [Text appears truncated here]
Treats Ascariasis (*Hui Chong Bing*). Manifesting as spitting saliva, heart pain, and episodic attacks. When toxic drugs fail to stop the symptoms, this formula is indicated.
Gancao (Licorice Root, *Gancao*) (2 taels). Baifen (White Powder, likely Lead Carbonate or similar, *Baifen*) (1 tael). Baimi (White Honey, *Baimi*) (4 taels).
Take the above three ingredients. Add three sheng of water. First decoct Gancao (Licorice Root), reduce to two sheng. Strain out the dregs. Add Baifen (White Powder) and Baimi (White Honey). Stir and mix well. Decoct until the consistency resembles thin porridge. Take one sheng warm.
Recovery.
The verse states: Heart pain and excessive salivation caused by roundworms; frequent attacks with toxic drugs do not relieve pain. One tael of White Powder, two taels of Licorice, four taels of Honey.
Decoction requires attention to sequence.
Note: Baifen (Lead Powder) is effective at killing parasites. Here it is mixed within Gancao (Licorice Root) and Baimi (White Honey). The strong sweetness masks its inherent toxicity/nature. This is known as first enticing the parasite, then attacking it.
