医诲之，使服加减八味丸，不半载而疾痊，因疏其病源云∶今医多用醒脾、生津、止渴之药，

有一位权贵患有疽病，病情尚未稳定却出现了口渴症状，一天内饮水达数升之多。我于是献上这个方子，其他医生听了都嘲笑说：“如果这药能止渴，我们就不再做医生了！”众医全都使用木瓜、紫苏、乌梅、人参、茯苓、芍药等生津液、止渴的药物，服用很多后口渴反而更严重，过了几天毫无功效，不得已才用了我的药，服药三天后，口渴停止。因此他们深信不疑，长期服用此药，不仅口渴病不再发作，气血更加强壮，饮食加倍，身体强健程度超过年少力壮之时。大概使用此药，不是我敢固执己见，实则有源流依据。从我童年时起，就听父亲说：有一位士大夫患口渴病，众医普遍使用治渴药，治疗多年，病情未愈，有一位名医教导他服用加减八味丸（Jiajian Bawei Wan, Modified Eight-Ingredient Pill），不到半年疾病痊愈，并分析其病源说：“现在的医生多用醒脾、生津、止渴的药，这是错误的！而此病本源于肾水枯竭，不能上润，导致心火上炎，无法既济（心肾相交），煎熬津液而生渴。现在服用八味丸，降低心火，滋生肾水，则口渴自然停止。”随后分析药性说：“其中真北五味子（Schisandrae Fructus）最为得力，这一味药独能生肾水、平补、降心气，大有功效。”家中珍藏此方，亲眼见到有效，所以敢详细记录它，使有口渴病的人相信这些话，专心服用以取效，不要被庸医所迷惑，希望推广前人制方救济他人的心意。
在痈口即将愈合之际，最忌讳使用急于收敛疮口的药物，只适宜用神异膏（Shenyi Gao, Divine Variation Plaster）贴敷。多见无知之人妄立说法，破坏这一原则，不过是病人厌恶护理过程，医生急于获利，不考虑毒瓦斯发泄未尽，疾病复发，人命从此无法挽救。
一、治疗痈疽日久疮口不合，肌肉色白且脓血少，这是疮口冷滞，乃病患气血枯竭不潮（气血运行不畅），导致疮口如此，应当用白北艾汤（White Northern Mugwort Decoction）清洗，神异膏贴敷，多服排脓内补散（Painong Neibu San, Pus-Discharging and Internal-Nourishing Powder）。每天用好北艾叶一把，放入瓦器内浓煎成汤。在避风处趁热用艾汤浇洗疮口四周洁净的肉，用旧绢帛兜住艾叶趁热沃浇，一日一次，洗完后必须避风；还要烧松香，用烟熏疮口良久，用神异膏贴之。疮口不可让厌恶秽气的人看见，如果不能禁忌，疮口难安，药也无效。
一、患痈疽的病人，恰好被庸医用毒药掩盖，或以针刀伤割，不能生肌肉，疮口不合，切不可以用急于收敛疮口的药，应当只用猪蹄汤（Zhu Ti Tang, Pig Trotter Decoction）、北艾汤交替清洗，用神异膏贴敷，并服用排脓内补散。
一、前方只是居住在州县间、有力气（财力）的人能做到，若恰好在乡野、以及无力购买药物的人，只可用鹭藤酒（Luteng Jiu, Egret Vine Wine）一方，始终服用，等到其疽破溃，就用神异膏贴敷，因为神异膏所用的药材，都不是贵重细难得到的药物。前后用此医治，田夫野老，百发百中。

There was a nobleman suffering from a carbuncle (Ju disease), whose condition was not yet stabilized when thirst appeared; he drank several sheng of water in one day. I then presented this prescription. The other physicians laughed and said, "If this medicine can stop thirst, we shall no longer practice medicine!" All the physicians had used herbs such as Chaenomelis Fructus (Mu Gua, 木瓜), Perillae Folium (Zi Su Ye, 紫苏), Mume Fructus (Wu Mei, 乌梅), Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma (Ren Shen, 人参), Poria (Fu Ling, 茯苓), and Paeoniae Radix Rubra (Chi Shao, 芍药) to generate fluids and stop thirst. After taking large amounts, his thirst became even worse. Several days passed with no effect. Reluctantly, they used my medicine. After three days of administration, the thirst stopped. Consequently, they believed it completely and took it for a long time. Not only did the thirst cease, but their Qi and Blood became stronger, their food intake doubled, and their physical strength exceeded that of their youth. The use of this medicine was not due to my stubbornness, but indeed has a historical source. Since childhood, I heard my father say: A scholar-official suffered from thirst. Physicians universally used medicines for thirst, treating him for years without relief. A famous physician instructed him to take Jiajian Bawei Wan (Modified Eight-Ingredient Pill). Within half a year, the disease was cured. The physician analyzed the pathology, stating: "Current physicians mostly use herbs to awaken the Spleen, generate fluids, and stop thirst, which is a mistake! This disease originates from the depletion of Kidney Water, which cannot moisten upwards, causing Heart Fire to flare up and fail to descend (Heart-Kidney non-interaction), scorching fluids and generating thirst. Now, by taking Bawei Wan, the Heart Fire is lowered, and Kidney Water is generated, so the thirst will naturally stop." He further analyzed the properties, saying: "Among them, Schisandrae Fructus (Wu Wei Zi, 五味子) is the most effective. This single herb alone can generate Kidney Water, tonify evenly, and descend Heart Qi, yielding great efficacy." My family treasured this prescription and witnessed its effectiveness personally, so I dare to record it in detail, enabling those with thirst to believe these words, take it diligently for results, and not be confused by mediocre physicians, hoping to promote the intent of predecessors in creating prescriptions to benefit others.
When an abscess wound is about to heal, it is most taboo to use astringent medicines that hastily close the wound. One should only apply Shenyi Gao (Divine Variation Plaster). It is common to see ignorant people making false claims, disrupting this principle, merely because patients are weary of care or physicians are eager for profit, failing to consider that if toxins are not fully expelled, the disease will return, leading to untreatable death.
1. To treat chronic abscesses where the wound does not heal, with white flesh and little pus or blood, this indicates cold stagnation at the wound site, caused by the patient's depletion of Qi and Blood and lack of circulation. The appropriate treatment is to wash with White Northern Mugwort Decoction, apply Shenyi Gao, and take Painong Neibu San (Pus-Discharging and Internal-Nourishing Powder) frequently. Take one handful of good Northern Mugwort leaves daily, decoct strongly in a clay vessel. In a wind-sheltered place, while hot, pour the mugwort decoction over the clean flesh around the wound. Use old silk to hold the leaves and pour hot liquid over it once a day. Avoid wind after washing. Also burn pine resin and smoke the wound for a long time, then apply Shenyi Gao. The wound must not be seen by people who dislike foul odors; if this taboo is not observed, the wound will not settle, and the medicine will be ineffective.
2. For patients with abscesses who have been mistakenly covered with toxic drugs by incompetent physicians, or injured by needles and knives, preventing muscle growth and wound closure, absolutely do not use astringent closing agents. Instead, wash alternately with Zhu Ti Tang (Pig Trotter Decoction) and Northern Mugwort Decoction, apply Shenyi Gao, and take Painong Neibu San.
3. The previous prescriptions are suitable for those living in towns or counties with financial means. If one lives in the countryside or lacks funds to buy medicine, one may only use Luteng Jiu (Egret Vine Wine). Take it continuously until the abscess ruptures, then apply Shenyi Gao. The ingredients in Shenyi Gao are not rare or expensive. Having treated many farmers and villagers with these methods previously, the success rate has been high.
