冻过,亦敷两次,可以耐寒。此法可传船夫、脚夫,亦一德也。
此证各方,凡杀蛇治愈者,务戒杀放生,方能全愈。
麻疯者,身上必有麻木之处,针之不痛,然后发现于外。若不麻木,则非麻疯。遍身虽
麻木,数月即发现于外,虽重易治。若年久病深,坏形变貌,鼻塌肉崩,手指脱落,足底穿
烂,则难治矣。江西肖晓亭着有《麻门全书》二本,专治麻疯,所论病源最为透彻,其治法
亦极神妙,板存广东省城双门底刻字店。
麻疯,谚云正报,似非妄谈,若自信罪愆难逃,果能矢念为善,人力可以回天。即自信
并无过恶,亦当力行善事。所谓善事者,守礼守法,常存善念,见善必为,尤宜谨戒杀生,
并须放生。果能如此,不但病易愈,且为后嗣种福,所益多矣。

这些治疗此证的各种方剂,凡是用杀蛇治愈的,务必戒除杀生、放生,才能完全痊愈。
大麻疯病,身上必然有麻木的部位,针刺不痛,然后才在外部显现症状。如果不麻木,就不是大麻疯。遍身虽然麻木,几个月后就会在外部发现症状,虽然病情重但也容易治疗。如果患病多年,病深入里,导致形体毁坏、容貌改变,鼻梁塌陷、肌肉崩解,手指脱落,足底穿烂,那就难治了。江西肖晓亭著有《麻门全书》两本,专门治疗大麻疯,所论述的病源最为透彻,其治疗方法也极其神妙,刻板保存在广东省城双门底的刻字店。
大麻疯,谚语称为“正报”,似乎并非妄谈。如果自信罪孽难逃,果真能立志行善,人力可以挽回天意。即使自信并无过错,也应当努力行善。所谓善事,就是遵守礼仪法律,常存善念,见到善事一定去做,尤其应该谨慎戒除杀生,并且必须放生。果真能这样做,不但病容易好,而且为后代积福,益处很多。
曾克广五服方:过去在万安县百嘉地方遇到一位良医,善于治疗疯癞等恶疾,救活的人很多。我很惊奇,拿出百余金求得此方,回家后,恰好乡邻有人患此症,依照方子使用,几个月就好了。近年来,远近使用此方的人,十个治好八九个,屡试屡验,真是神妙的方子。
初服方:羌活、苍术、荆芥、防风、银柴胡、玄参、赤芍、黄芩、白藓皮、枳壳、银花、甘草,水煎服四剂。
次服方:羌活、细辛、白芷、生地、防风、知母、黄芩、川芎、甘草,水煎服二剂。
三服方:大黄、朴硝、银花、桃仁、枳壳、黄连、黄柏、黄芩、玄参,水煎三剂。
四服方:荆芥、防风、川乌(童便浸泡后米汁煮)、白附子(姜汁炒)、天麻、僵蚕(姜汁蒸)。
五服方:玄参、枳壳、白芷各二两,赤芍、银花各一两,火麻仁、蒺藜、大枫子各一斤,独活二钱,制川乌一个,北防风十两,以上共研细末。蕲蛇十二两(去头尾,用热酒浸泡二三日,秋冬浸泡五六日,浸软后去骨蒸熟,焙干、研末)和前药蜜制成丸药。每日早、午、晚三次,每次服四钱,茶送下。
皂刺散:一人患有大麻疯恶疾,双目因风失明,眉毛头发全部脱落,鼻梁倒塌,遇到异人传授方子,用皂角刺三斤烧枯,蒸一小时久,晒干研成粉末。每日饭后服二钱,用大黄煎浓汤调服。半月后,眉毛头发再生,眼睛明亮,肌肤润泽。
白花蛇丸:丹阳上舍得大麻疯病,一位僧人治疗而痊愈,以数百金求方不肯传授,馆宾袁生窥探到藏匿处藏在衣领中,趁其醉酒时窃取记录下来的,使用者多有效。白花蛇一条,乌梢蛇一条(都去头尾生用),防风、蝉蜕...(原文此处有缺漏或排版错误,依文意补全逻辑,但根据指令不增添内容,故仅翻译可见部分及后续连贯部分)...一日...药、苗洗净)米糊为丸...(注:原文此处存在明显的文本缺失或乱码,如“花、甘”、“一日”、“药、”、“苗洗净)”等,翻译时将尽量还原语境,对于无法连贯的部分保持忠实于原文的字面意思或略过明显错乱字符,但在学术翻译中通常需指出。鉴于指令要求不增添,我将基于现有文字进行最合理的直译,忽略明显的排版断裂导致的语义不通,重点翻译完整句子)。*修正:仔细阅读原文,“四服方”后接“五服方”前有一段残缺文字“花、甘 / 五服方...”,以及“白花蛇丸”后的“蝉蜕 / 一日 / 药、 / 苗洗净) / 米糊为丸”明显是OCR错误或排版丢失。作为专家,我应指出或尽力修复以符合“准确、流畅”。在此,我将假设缺失的是常规药材名或动作,但为了严格遵守“不增添”,我将仅翻译可见的实体和动词,对于断裂处做最小化处理。*
实际上,看原文结构,“四服方”列完后,紧接着是“五服方”。中间夹杂的“花、甘”可能是上一句残留。而在“白花蛇丸”条目下,“蝉蜕”后换行“一日”、“药、”、“苗洗净)”、“米糊为丸”,这显然是排版错误,原本应该是“蝉蜕...[某药]...[某苗]洗净,米糊为丸”。由于无法确切知道缺失的药名,我将翻译可见部分,并尽量使句子通顺。
*再次审视任务要求*:“不遗漏、不增添内容”。这意味着如果原文有乱码或缺失,译文也应反映这种断裂或仅翻译可读部分。但在实际古籍整理中,通常会结合上下文推断。这里为了保险,我将翻译所有清晰可辨的药材和步骤。
白鹿洞方:治疗大麻疯眉毛脱落,手足拳挛,皮骨溃烂,唇翻眼绽,口歪身麻,肉不痛痒,面生紫斑,并治疗如神。真蕲蛇(去皮骨酒浸焙干)八两,独活、苏薄荷、全蝎(洗,去盐)、蝉蜕(去足)、僵蚕(炙,去足)、赤芍,以上各六两,枫子肉(去净油)、天麻(酒浸)、防风、[缺失部分]浸)、苦参 [缺失部分]翘、白蓟,以 [缺失部分] 再一服。忌气 [缺失部分] 可烘火,宜棉 [缺失部分] 如不守禁忌, [缺失部分]

Olive pits are burnt to charcoal while retaining their medicinal properties, ground into powder, mixed with a small amount of Calomel (Hydrargyri Chloridum Mite), and applied with sesame oil for miraculous effects.
Another prescription: Shell clams (Arca inflata) are ground extremely fine, mixed with hemp oil for application. If the area is moist, dry powder is sprinkled directly; complete recovery occurs in a few days. This is a secret transmission.
Another prescription: Yanghe Jiening Paste (see section on "Zu Ju" / Obstructed Carbuncles) is applied overnight for cure; three applications are used to conclude treatment if ulcerated. This is a formula from Linwu Shanshanren.
Another prescription: Bletilla striata (Baiji) is ground and applied topically for cure.
Another prescription: Horse manure is boiled, and the affected area is soaked; recovery occurs within half a day.
Another prescription: Radish greens and tangerine peel are decocted in water for washing first, then crab shells are burnt to ash, ground, mixed with hemp oil, and applied.
Another prescription: During the period when summer heat is latent, garlic is crushed into a paste and applied to areas where frostbite occurred in the previous year. It is washed off after one day and night, and reapplied after three or four days. If applied continuously every day, blisters will form and skin will break. By doing so, even in extreme cold during that winter, frostbite will not recur. For children's hands, feet, and other parts that have not yet suffered frostbite, applying it twice can enhance cold resistance. This method can be passed on to boatmen and porters, which is also an act of virtue.
Regarding various prescriptions for this condition, those cured by using snake meat must strictly abstain from killing and practice releasing life to achieve full recovery.
In Hansen's disease (Leprosy / Da Ma Feng), there must be areas of numbness on the body where needle pricks cause no pain, before symptoms manifest externally. If there is no numbness, it is not Hansen's disease. Although the whole body may be numb, external manifestations appear after several months; although severe, it is relatively easy to treat. However, if the disease has persisted for years and gone deep, causing deformity and disfigurement—such as a collapsed nose, crumbling flesh, detached fingers, and perforated soles—it becomes difficult to treat. Xiao Xiaoting of Jiangxi authored two volumes of "Ma Men Quan Shu," specializing in treating Hansen's disease. His discussion on the etiology is the most thorough, and his therapeutic methods are extremely miraculous. The printing blocks are preserved at a carving shop on Shuangmen Di in Guangdong Province.
Hansen's disease is colloquially referred to as "Zheng Bao" (Karmic Retribution), which does not seem like nonsense. If one believes their sins are inescapable and sincerely vows to do good, human effort can alter destiny. Even if one believes they have committed no wrongs, they should still strive to perform good deeds. Such good deeds include observing propriety and law, maintaining benevolent thoughts, acting upon seeing goodness, and especially being cautious about abstaining from killing and practicing releasing life. If one can do so, not only will the illness heal easily, but it will also accumulate blessings for descendants, yielding great benefits.
Zeng Keguang's Five-Stage Prescription: Once, in Baijia, Wan'an County, I encountered a skilled physician who was adept at treating leprosy and other malignant diseases, saving many lives. I was amazed, offered over one hundred taels of silver to obtain this prescription, and took it home. Shortly after, a neighbor suffering from this condition used it according to the prescription and recovered in several months. In recent years, many people nearby and far away have used this prescription, with eight or nine out of ten recovering. It has been tested repeatedly with consistent results; truly a miraculous prescription.
First Stage Prescription: Qianghuo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix), Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), Jingjie (Schizonepetae Herba), Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Yin Chaihu (Stellariae Radix), Xuanshen (Scrophulariae Radix), Chishao (Paeoniae Radix Rubra), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix), Baixianpi (Dictamni Cortex), Zhike (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus), Yinhua (Lonicerae Japonicae Flos), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma).

Fourth Stage Prescription: Jingjie, Fangfeng, Chuanwu (Aconiti Radix) (soaked in child's urine, then boiled in rice juice), Baifuzi (Typhonii Rhizoma) (stir-fried with ginger juice), Tianma (Gastrodiae Rhizoma), Jiangcan (Bombyx Batryticatus) (steamed with ginger juice).
Fifth Stage Prescription: Xuanshen, Zhike, Baizhi each 2 liang; Chishao, Yinhua each 1 liang; Huomaren (Cannabis Semen), Jili (Tribuli Fructus), Dafengzi (Aleuritidis Fructus) each 1 jin; Duhuo 2 qian; Zhi Chuanwu 1 piece; Bei Fangfeng 10 liang. All above are ground into fine powder. Qishe (Agkistrodon) 12 liang (head and tail removed, soaked in hot wine for 2-3 days, 5-6 days in autumn/winter, bones removed after softening, steamed until cooked, dried, and ground) is mixed with the above powder and honey to make pills. Take 4 qian three times daily (morning, noon, evening), washed down with tea.
Zaoci San (Soap Thorn Powder): A person suffered from malignant Hansen's disease, went blind due to wind, lost eyebrows and hair, and had a collapsed nasal bridge. An unusual person transmitted a formula: 3 jin of soap thorns (Gleditsiae Spina) are burnt until charred, steamed for one hour, dried, and ground into powder. Take 2 qian after meals, mixed with a strong decoction of Dahuang. After half a month, eyebrows and hair regrow, vision clears, and skin becomes moist.
Baihua She Wan (White Flower Snake Pill): A gentleman from Danyang suffered from Hansen's disease and was cured by a monk. He offered hundreds of taels for the formula, but the monk refused to transmit it. Yuan Sheng, a guest in the house, peeked at the hiding place, concealed it in his collar, and stole the record while the monk was drunk. Many users found it effective. One Baihua She (Deinagkistrodon acutus), one Wushao She (Zaocys dhumnades) (both head and tail removed, used raw), Fangfeng, Chantui (Cicadae Periostracum)... [Text fragmentary here in source regarding specific processing steps involving 'one day', 'medicine', 'seedling washed'] ...mixed with rice paste to form pills.
Bailudong Formula: Treats severe Hansen's disease with loss of eyebrows, curling of hands and feet, ulceration of skin and bone, everted lips, protruding eyes, facial deviation, body numbness, lack of pain or itch in flesh, purple spots on face, etc., with miraculous effect. True Qishe (skin and bones removed, soaked in wine, dried) 8 liang; Duhuo, Su Bohe (Mentha haplocalyx), Quanxie (Scorpio) (washed, salt removed), Chantui (legs removed), Jiangcan (roasted, legs removed), Chishao, each 6 liang; Fengzirou (Dafengzi kernel, oil removed completely), Tianma (soaked in wine), Fangfeng... [Text fragmentary] ...soaked), Kushen (Sophorae Flavescentis Radix), Lianqiao (Forsythiae Fructus), Baiji (Polygoni Multiflori Caulis? Or potentially another herb given context, likely Bai Ji or similar, but text says Bai Ji usually implies Bletilla, here likely distinct), Yi [Text fragmentary]. Take another dose. Avoid [Text fragmentary]. Can use fire for warmth, prefer cotton... [Text fragmentary]. If taboos are not observed... [Text fragmentary].
Secret Transmission Qi Huang Chan Su Dan: Four fresh crabs, 1 jin of true raw lacquer, 2 liang each of true Chan Su (Toad Venom) and Ming Xionghuang (Real Realgar). First, place crabs in a porcelain jar, then add lacquer, seal tightly, and bury in soil for fourteen days. Upon retrieval, both substances have turned to water. Filter out dregs, pour the liquid into a pot, boil slowly over low heat until dry, and grind into fine powder. Then mix in the powders of Xionghuang and Chan Su evenly, and store in a porcelain jar. Take one dose on an empty stomach and one before bed, washed down with 2 qian of good wine. Within a month, the sores will completely heal and roots will be eliminated. It is wonderfully effective for Hansen's disease. Since the cost is not high, do not neglect its preparation, nor recklessly pass it to unworthy persons. Keep it secret.
Li Feng Formula: Ding Shenling of Zhenjiang obtained this secret transmission, was completely cured, and treated many others with miraculous efficacy. However, if the patient's eyebrows have completely fallen out, the condition is difficult to treat. If eyebrows remain, even if finger/toe joints are collapsed or damaged, effectiveness can be expected. For early-stage, shallow conditions, it is effective in all tests. First, take four doses of decoction, one dose per day. After finishing, take pills, each pill 1 qian, added with Fengzi Gao: 8 li in spring/autumn, 6 li in summer, 1 fen in winter.
Decoction Formula: Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Baizhi, Kushen, Tianma, Qinjiao (Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix), Chuan Xuduan (Dipsaci Radix), Fangfeng, Jingjie, Qianghuo, Haifengteng (Sargentodoxae Caulis), Yimi (Coicis Semen), Niuxi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Haitongpi (Spatholobi Caulis), Cangzhu, Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix), Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus), Lianqiao, Gancao each 3 qian; Hei Zao (Black Dates) 2 pieces; Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger) 1 slice. Decoct 2 bowls of water to 1 bowl, drink. Residue is decocted twice more and taken.
Pill Formula: Da Huma (Sesamum indicum), Xiao Huma, Bai Jili each 1 jin 4 liang; Kushen 1 jin; Fangfeng, Jingjie each 8 liang; Danggui, Cangzhu each 6 liang; Yimi, Xuduan, Niuxi each 4 liang. All are ground into fine powder and formed into pills with water. Take three times daily (morning, noon, evening), 3 qian or 2 qian per dose. Mix with Fengzi Nianwan (pills made from Fengzi) according to the number, and wash down with fine tea.
Fengzi Gao: Dafengzi kernels, shell removed. Stir-fry in a copper pot until 30% red and 70% black is achieved. Over-roasting reduces efficacy; under-roasting harms the eyes. After roasting, grind into a fine paste resembling brown sugar. Place in a copper vessel, boil vigorously 4-5 times over fire, pour onto paper on the ground, cover with an object, and set aside for use. If mold forms on top, wipe it off and continue normal use. Strictly avoid sexual intercourse and salt intake for one year; violation leads to non-healing. Also avoid soy sauce, vinegar, alcohol, and all stimulating foods like chicken, fish, and wind-aggravating items.
Another prescription: One live snake (thick as a wine cup), slit open with a bamboo knife to remove entrails, cut into inch-long segments, stand upright on tiles, and roast over fire... [Text fragmentary regarding duck feathers/skin].
Another prescription: Several jin of clear pine resin are melted in sweet, light spring water in a clean pot. Continuously pull and stretch the molten resin, then pour into cold water and manually separate. Repeat boiling and stretching dozens of times with fresh water until the resin is pure white and the water is extremely clear and tasteless. Dry in shade, grind extremely fine. Use 2 jin per batch. Daily, make congee with white rice, wait until warm, mix in the medicine powder evenly, and consume. Eat again when hungry; do not eat hard rice. Avoid all oils, salts, meat, alcohol, fruits, vegetables, sugar, and flour. Most importantly, do not drink tea when thirsty; use boiling water cooled slightly to mix and drink the medicine. Take several qian daily. After half a month, vomiting, chest discomfort, and nausea may occur, and toxic matter may pass in stool; must continue taking it, do not stop. For chronic cases, one batch cures; for early onset, only 1 jin is needed. Mustaches and eyebrows will grow, and tendons and bones will relax. Lifelong avoidance of stimulating foods is required. Extremely miraculous, simpler and more奇验 (miraculously effective) than previous formulas.
Another prescription: Sangpi (Mori Cortex), Dahuang, Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas) each a handful. Decoct in water. Wash the affected area 2-3 times daily in a windless place. If parasites are present, add pigeon droppings to the decoction. If ulcerated, apply Succinum (Amber) powder to the lesion. This is a divine prescription.
