捞取时∶急急将口撬开，横衔筷子一根，使可出水；以竹管吹其两耳；碾生半夏末如豆
大吹其鼻孔；又用皂角末置管中吹其谷道。
如系夏月，将溺人肚腹横覆牛背之上，两边使人扶住，牵牛缓缓而行，腹中之水自然从
口中并大小便流出。再用生姜汤调苏合丸灌之，或生姜汤灌之，并用生姜擦牙。若无牛，用
一人覆卧躬腰，令溺人如前将肚腹横覆于活人身上，令活人微微摇动，水即可出。或用大锅
一口覆宽凳上，将溺人覆于锅上亦可，要将溺人脐对锅脐俯卧，手托其头。
如系冬月，急将湿衣更换。一面炒盐用布包熨脐；一面浓铺被褥，取灶内草灰多多铺于
被褥之上，灰上再加被褥，不可使灰迷于眼内。其撬口衔筷、灌苏合丸、生姜汤，吹耳、鼻
、谷道等事，俱照夏天法。冬天苏醒后，宜少饮汤酒，夏天宜少饮粥汤。按灰性暖而能拔水
。凡苍蝇溺水死者，以灰埋之，少顷即活，此明验也。
溺人倘或微笑，必急掩其口鼻，如不掩住，则笑不可止，不能救矣。又不可急于见火，
一见必大笑而死。又以酒坛一个，纸片一把烧放坛内，急以坛口覆脐上，冷即烧纸片放坛内
、覆脐去水，即活。又初救起时尚有微气，或胸前尚暖，速令生人脱贴身热衣，为之更换，
抱担身上将尸微微倒侧之，令其腹内水流出。若水往外流，即有生机。一面用粗纸烧燃取烟
熏其鼻窍，稍熏片时，即用皂角研细末吹入鼻窍，但得微有嚏喷，即可得生。又灌酒汤，不
可太热，恐伤齿尽落。
又方∶先打壁泥一堵置地上，以溺人仰卧其上，更以壁土覆之、只露口眼，自然水气吸
入泥间，其人遂苏。虽身僵气绝，用此法亦可救。
又，醋灌鼻中，绵裹锻石纳粪门及阴户，水即出。
又方∶鸭血灌之即活，终身戒食鹅鸭。
打捞时：立即撬开溺水者的嘴巴，横放一根筷子在口中，以便让水流出；用竹管向双耳内吹气；将生半夏研成粉末，取如豆粒大小的量吹入鼻孔；另用皂角末装入管子中吹入肛门。
如果是夏季，将溺水者的腹部横向覆盖在牛背上，两侧派人扶住，牵着牛缓缓行走，腹中的水自然会从口中以及大小便排出。随后用生姜汤调服苏合丸灌下，或者直接用生姜汤灌服，并用生姜擦拭牙齿。如果没有牛，可用一人俯卧弯腰，让溺水者像之前那样将腹部横向覆盖在这名活人身上，让活人微微摇动，水即可流出。或者用一口大锅扣在宽凳上，将溺水者俯卧在锅上，需使溺水者的肚脐对准锅的底部中心，用手托住其头部。
如果是冬季，急忙更换湿衣服。一面炒热盐用布包裹熨烫肚脐；一面厚铺被褥，取灶内的草灰大量铺在被褥之上，灰上再加被褥，注意不要让灰迷了眼睛。撬口衔筷、灌苏合丸和生姜汤、吹耳、鼻、肛门等操作，均参照夏季的方法。冬天苏醒后，宜少量饮用汤酒，夏天宜少量饮用粥汤。按：草灰性暖且具有吸水作用。凡苍蝇溺水而死，用灰掩埋，片刻后即可复活，这是明显的验证。
溺水者如果偶尔微笑，必须立即捂住其口鼻，如果不捂住，则笑声无法停止，就无法救活了。又不可急于靠近火源，一见火必大笑而死。另用一个酒坛，将一把纸片烧着放入坛内，迅速将坛口扣在肚脐上，变冷后再烧纸片放入坛内，扣在肚脐上以去水，人即可复活。另外，刚救起时若尚有微弱气息，或胸前尚温暖，速令活人脱下贴身的热衣为其更换，抱着担架上的尸体微微倒侧，使其腹内水流出来。若水向外流出，就有生机。一面用粗纸燃烧取烟熏其鼻孔，稍熏片刻后，即用皂角研成细末吹入鼻孔，只要能有轻微的喷嚏，就可以得救。再灌酒汤，不可太热，恐怕损伤牙齿导致脱落。
另一方法：先打一面墙泥放在地上，让溺水者仰卧其上，再用墙土覆盖其身，只露出口眼，自然水气会被吸入泥中，其人随即苏醒。即使身体僵硬、气息断绝，用此法也可救治。
又法：醋灌入鼻中，用棉絮包裹锻石塞入肛门及阴道，水即流出。
另一方法：灌鸭血即可复活，此后终身禁止食用鹅肉和鸭肉。
During rescue: Immediately pry open the mouth, place a chopstick horizontally across it to facilitate water drainage; blow air into both ears using a bamboo tube; crush raw Pinelliae Rhizoma (Banxia, 半夏) into powder, take an amount the size of a bean, and blow it into the nostrils; also insert Sichuan Chinaberry Fruit Powder (Zaojiao, 皂角) into a tube and blow it into the anus.
If it is summer, lay the victim's abdomen transversely over a cow's back, have people hold both sides, and lead the cow to walk slowly; the water in the abdomen will naturally flow out from the mouth and through urination and defecation. Then administer Suheli Wan (Suheli Pill) mixed with Ginger Decoction (Shengjiang Tang, 生姜汤), or simply pour Ginger Decoction down the throat, and rub teeth with ginger. If no cow is available, have one person lie prone with their waist bent, allowing the victim to lie transversely on this living person as described above; gently rocking the living person will cause the water to drain. Alternatively, place a large pot upside down on a wide stool, lay the victim prone on the pot ensuring the navel aligns with the center of the pot's base, and support the head with hands.
If it is winter, urgently change wet clothes. Meanwhile, stir-fry salt, wrap it in cloth, and apply heat to the umbilicus; simultaneously, pile thick bedding, spread a large amount of ash from the stove hearth onto the bedding, and cover with more bedding, taking care not to let ash enter the eyes. Procedures such as prying the mouth, inserting chopsticks, administering Suheli Wan and Ginger Decoction, blowing into ears, nose, and anus should follow the summer method. After regaining consciousness in winter, drink soup and wine sparingly; in summer, drink porridge soup sparingly. Note: Ash is warm in nature and can absorb water. Flies that drown can be revived shortly after being buried in ash, which is clear evidence.
If the drowning person smiles, immediately cover their mouth and nose; if not covered, the laughter cannot stop, and rescue becomes impossible. Do not rush to expose them to fire, as seeing fire will cause fatal laughter. Another method: use a wine jar, burn a handful of paper inside, and quickly place the jar's opening over the umbilicus; when cool, burn more paper inside and replace the jar over the umbilicus to remove water, reviving the person. Additionally, if there is still faint breath or warmth in the chest upon initial rescue, quickly have a living person remove their close-fitting warm garment to replace it for the victim; carry the body on a stretcher and tilt it slightly to drain abdominal water. If water flows out, there is hope for life. Meanwhile, burn coarse paper to produce smoke and inhale it through the nose; after a short time, blow fine Sichuan Chinaberry Fruit powder (Zaojiao, 皂角) into the nasal cavity. A slight sneeze indicates survival is possible. Administer wine soup, but ensure it is not too hot to avoid damaging teeth.
Another method: Apply a layer of wall mud on the ground, have the victim lie supine on it, then cover the body with wall earth, exposing only the mouth and eyes. The moisture will naturally be absorbed by the mud, and the person will regain consciousness. This method works even if the body is stiff and breathing has ceased.
Another method: Pour vinegar into the nose; wrap Duan Shi (Calcined Hematite, 锻石) in cotton and insert it into the anus and vagina to drain water.
Another method: Administer duck blood to revive; thereafter, strictly avoid consuming goose and duck meat for life.
