鸡蛋稀痘方∶立春前一月，将鸡蛋七个用麻布袋盛之，上用线扎好，浸粪桶内，粪要取
稠浓者，浸一月将蛋取出，蛋不沾水埋土内三日，须避人行走之地。立春日早用砂罐煮三枚
，诸食宜少进，恐饱不能食蛋，总期三日内食完。儿小者一二枚亦可。食过三年，重者必稀
，轻者即不矣。
按∶痘皆父母遗毒，今用尿浸消后天之毒，用土埋培先天之气，又当立春回阳之候服之
，毒消痘稀，此亦必然之理也。父母爱子者，慎勿嫌其秽恶而忽之。
川楝子稀痘方∶凡婴儿无论男女，于五月起至八月有除日七个，每遇除日，用肥大川楝

梅花稀痘方∶十二月收取白梅花，不拘多少，阴干为末，炼蜜为丸如芡实大。每一丸，
好酒化下，念太乙救苦天尊一百遍，奇效。
【鸡蛋稀痘方】：在立春前一个月，取七个鸡蛋装入麻布袋中，用线扎紧袋口，浸泡在粪桶内。粪便需选用浓稠者，浸泡一个月后将蛋取出。将不沾水的蛋埋入土中三天，必须避开行人走动的地方。立春当天早晨，用砂罐煮三枚鸡蛋食用。其他食物应少吃，以免吃饱后无法吃完鸡蛋，务必保证在三日内吃完。幼儿可吃一至两枚。连续服用三年，重症患儿痘疹必稀少，轻症患儿即可不出痘。
按语：痘疹皆源于父母遗传之毒。现用尿液浸泡以消除后天之毒，用泥土掩埋以培补先天之气，又恰逢立春阳气回复之时服用，毒素消散、痘疹稀少，这是必然的道理。父母疼爱子女者，切勿嫌弃其污秽而忽视此法。
【川楝子稀痘方】：凡婴儿不论男女，从五月起至八月间共有七个“除日”（农历每月初五、初八、十四、十五、廿三、廿四、廿九）。每逢除日，取肥大的川楝子在石臼中捣烂，放入新砂锅中煎煮成浓汤，倒入盆中。在避风处，用新的白色薄布蘸取药液，从头部到足部全身擦洗，不留空隙，擦完后仍用布擦干，继续避风片刻。此法规定：一至三岁儿童，用川楝子七个，水三碗；四至五岁儿童，用川楝子九个，水五碗；六至七岁儿童，用川楝子十五个，水七碗；八至十岁儿童，用川楝子二十个，水九碗；十一至十五岁儿童，用川楝子三十个，水十五碗。捣药和煮药时，均忌用铁器。照此方法擦洗，不仅不会出痘，还能避免疮疖。若不信此法，可在手或足留一处不洗，倘若出痘，痘疹必定聚集在该未清洗的一块区域。
【橄榄稀痘方】：凡小儿出生后，逢冬至日前七天，每个小儿用四十九枚橄榄，用小蒲包装好，放置在厨房水缸边的地面上。到了冬至夜，将橄榄连同果核放在瓦片上，用木炭火烤至存性（即外部焦黑内部保留药性），研成细末。每日用开水冲服一匙给小儿喝，需在立春前服完。服用一个冬天，可以减轻痘疹程度，每年照此服用，可以保证不出痘。如果小儿不肯吃，可略加少许糖调味亦可。然而糖性热，能不加更好。
又一方：用橄榄核捣碎，磨成细粉，混合在面粉中，经常做成糕饼，每天酌情随意让小儿食用。食用量达到半斤以上者，出痘必稀少，若能常食，可保不出痘。
又一方：此方传自苏州沈香谷家，据说已数代不出天花。取青橄榄一个、生甘草一寸，两味药材用水煎煮，隔日服用一次。服用至第五次，大便排出黑色物质，说明毒素已去，再服用一两次，重症者可转为轻症，轻症者可保不出痘。
【稀痘三豆汤】：赤小豆、黑大豆、绿豆各三碗，经过特殊炮制的人中黄三两，与三豆同煮至极熟，滤出豆子晒干，再将晒干的豆子放回药汁中，反复浸泡和晾晒，直到药汁被完全吸收为止，装入瓷瓶密封保存。每日取一小杯豆子和一大杯水，放入砂罐内煮，连汤带豆让小儿食用，能减轻痘疹，临症服用能解毒清热。
【小儿不出痘神验方】：羌活、升麻、生地、防风、酒浸黄柏、麻黄各五分，川芎、干葛、木通、苍术、酒浸黄芩、柴胡各二分，红花、细辛、陈皮、白术、苏木各一分，甘草、黄连、当归身各三分，连翘、吴茱萸各五厘。共二十二味药，按方称准作为一剂。每逢立春、立夏、立秋、立冬的前一日煎好，露天放置一夜。需另备一容器盛少量水，将药碗放在水中，容器上方再用纱筛罩住。如遇阴天，则放在屋檐下露置，须避雨。次日清晨温热服用，一年内连续服用四剂，永远不出痘。如不相信，试服一二剂，出痘必稀少。小儿服用后会腹泻，胎毒便由此排出。服用第二次时，腹泻即止。如果初次服用不腹泻，说明胎毒较轻。如果婴儿不肯服用，乳母代为服用亦可。此方屡试屡验，切勿轻视。
【紫府稀痘仙方】：青蒿子八十一粒，飞净朱砂三分，甘草三钱，真绿豆粉一钱。于七月七日采摘带露水的凤仙花红、白各七朵，荷花一朵，荷叶一张，茎一根。将上述药物收干后研成极细粉末（约二分重），在二至日调服一钱。小儿如不肯服用，可加冰糖一钱，或用猪腰子、鸡肝粘附药末吞食，数次之后痘疹自会稀少，痘发时也可服用二三次，避免痘疹伏陷倒塌的隐患。肝火盛者加绿豆，心火盛者加赤豆，肾有毒加黑豆，上部痘疹不起发加薄荷，下部痘疹不起发加牛膝，有惊风加钩藤，痘色不红活加红花。每味添加药不超过一钱，加倍则倍之，红花、薄荷减半，均用水煎煮代替汤剂调服。
【丝瓜稀痘方】：选取不老不嫩、正好可食用的丝瓜，悬挂在屋檐下风干，只取靠近瓜蒂的二三寸部分，在瓦片上烤至存性，研成细末。每一钱药末配水飞朱砂三分。每次服用五分，用黑砂糖调服。根据小儿年龄大小决定次数，如新生儿服用一次最好，三岁以内服用两次，三岁以外可服用三四次，能使多者变少，少者无痘。此为古方，屡试无不有效，有一儿服用最多，最终竟未出痘。
【稀痘秘方】：手足指甲要取亲生父母的，平时预先收集保存，除夕日取齐，放在新瓦上用火烤至存性，当烟将尽时放在地上，立即用碗覆盖，以免烧过头变成灰烬，除去火气后研成细末。凤凰衣（即孵化退下的鸡蛋壳内膜），要取腊月半前后孵出的小鸡的新鲜蛋壳上的内膜，在新瓦上炒至微黄色，研成极细末。蝉蜕炒后研成细末。以上三味药，根据指甲的多少确定比例，等分研匀，除夕夜用开水调匀给小儿食用，连续三年，服用三次，永远不出痘。如果服用此方一两年内即出痘，也必稀少。
【稀痘神效方】：金银花微炒后研成末，加少许白糖，用开水调服，久服可减轻痘疹。
又一方：金银花一斤，甘草四两，两味药材煎熬后加入白糖和匀制成膏状。每日早晚服用一二匙，既可减轻痘疹，又可解除一切毒素。
【稀痘良法】：冬至时辰，在屋内出入行走的地方挖一个约深一尺半的坑，将十五个鸡蛋埋在坑中，四面各用一块砖，用浓竹片排铺搁在砖上，用竹片盖好，仍将泥土填好以便行走。至立春时刻取出，每日用一撮绿豆煮一个鸡蛋，给小儿食用。不可间断，若依此法服用三次，则终身不出痘。稀痘方虽多，惟此方平淡无奇却灵验。
【小儿稀痘各方】：用赤小豆、黑豆、绿豆各一两，研成细末。制作方法与人中黄相同，取一个两头有节的鲜新竹筒，削去青皮，再刮再削，以薄为妙，在筒头上凿一小孔，将豆末徐徐灌入筒内，外用极尖的杉木塞紧筒孔，再熔蜡将孔口封固，腊月浸入粪坑中，一个月取出风干。每一两药末再配白梅花瓣三钱。每次服用一钱，用霜后的丝瓜藤丝煎汤送下，稀痘神效。忌食荤腥十二日，排出黑粪为见效标志。每年服用一次，连续服用三年，可不出痘。
附：制人中黄的方法与此相同，用生粉甘草研成极细末，筛去草筋，灌入筒内。只是每年交冬浸入男用粪坑内，必须等到次年交夏才取出，阴干后将筒再刮。本年交冬又仍浸入粪坑，总非浸泡三四年不可，越久越好。如果竹筒破裂，就照此法更换竹筒，劈开筒内，人中黄已经结成整块，切忌见火，仍研末灌入。如果竹筒无破裂，可以不必年年换筒，只是孔处不免溶蜡，封过浸过多年后，甘草末变为黑黄色，阴干，研成细末，用纸包好悬挂在通风处一年半载，臭气全无。凡是小儿热毒、火丹、一切喉症、各种热毒的要药，真是至宝灵丹。如果能预先制作来救济他人，功德非浅。
【梅花稀痘方】：十二月采集白梅花，不拘多少，阴干后研成末，炼蜜制成如芡实大小的丸药。每一丸，用好酒化开服用，念诵太乙救苦天尊一百遍，效果奇特。
[Egg Acne-Prevention Formula]: One month before the Beginning of Spring, place seven eggs in a hemp cloth bag, tie the mouth tightly with thread, and soak them in a manure bucket. The manure should be thick and concentrated. After soaking for one month, take out the eggs. Bury the eggs (which have not touched water) in the soil for three days; ensure they are kept away from areas where people walk. On the morning of the Beginning of Spring, boil three eggs in a clay pot. Consume other foods sparingly to avoid being too full to eat the eggs; ensure all eggs are consumed within three days. For young children, one or two eggs may suffice. Consuming this regimen for three years will ensure that severe cases result in sparse acne/pox, while mild cases will not develop it at all.
Note: Pox/acne originates from parental hereditary toxins. Soaking in urine eliminates acquired toxins, while burying in soil nourishes innate Qi (vital energy). Administered during the time when Yang Qi returns at the Beginning of Spring, the toxin dissipates and pox becomes sparse; this is an inevitable principle. Parents who love their children must not disdain its foulness and neglect it.
[Tooscora Root Acne-Prevention Formula]: For infants regardless of gender, there are seven "Chu Days" (specific auspicious days in the lunar calendar) between May and August. On each Chu Day, take large Tooscora roots (Fructus Toosendan), pound them into a paste in a stone mortar, and decoct them in a new clay pot until a thick liquid forms. Pour the liquid into a basin. In a wind-sheltered place, use a piece of new white thin cloth dipped in the liquid to wipe the child's body from head to toe, leaving no gaps. Dry the skin with the cloth afterward and continue sheltering from wind for a moment. Dosage guidelines: Children aged 1-3 years use 7 Tooscora roots with 3 bowls of water; aged 4-5 years use 9 roots with 5 bowls of water; aged 6-7 years use 15 roots with 7 bowls of water; aged 8-10 years use 20 roots with 9 bowls of water; aged 11-15 years use 30 roots with 15 bowls of water. Avoid using iron utensils for pounding or boiling. Following this method prevents pox and also avoids sores and boils. If skeptical, leave one spot on the hand or foot unwashed; if pox develops, it will cluster exclusively in that unwashed area.
[Olive Acne-Prevention Formula]: After birth, seven days prior to the Winter Solstice, use 49 olives per child. Place them in a small rush bag and set on the ground beside the kitchen water vat. On the night of the Winter Solstice, place the olives (with pits) on a tile and roast over charcoal fire until "preserving nature" (charred outside but retaining internal properties). Grind into fine powder. Each day, mix one spoonful with boiling water and administer to the child. Finish consumption before the Beginning of Spring. A winter course reduces pox severity; annual repetition ensures prevention. If the child refuses, add a little sugar, though sugar is heating in nature and omitting it is preferable.
Another Method: Crush olive pits, grind into fine powder, mix with flour, and make into cakes/biscuits. Feed regularly to the child. Consumption exceeding half a jin (approx. 500g) ensures sparse pox; regular consumption guarantees prevention.
Another Method: Passed down from the Shen Xianggu family in Suzhou, claiming generations free of smallpox. Take one green olive and one inch of raw Licorice Root (Radix Glycyrrhizae), decoct in water. Administer every other day. By the fifth dose, black matter will pass in stool, indicating toxin removal. One or two additional doses will convert severe cases to mild, and prevent mild cases entirely.
[Three-Bean Decoction for Sparse Pox]: Use 3 bowls each of Adzuki Beans (Semen Phaseoli Rubri), Black Soybeans (Semen Sojae Nigrum), and Mung Beans (Semen Phaseoli Aurei). Add 3 liang of processed Human Feces Powder (Homo Faeces Praeparata). Boil together until very soft. Strain the beans, dry them, then return them to the juice. Repeat soaking and drying until the juice is fully absorbed. Store in a porcelain bottle. Daily, cook one small cup of these beans with one large cup of water in a clay pot. Consume both soup and beans. It reduces pox severity and clears heat/toxins clinically.
[Divine Efficacy Formula for Infants Not Developing Pox]: Use 5 fen each of Notopterygium Rhizome et Radix (Qianghuo), Cimicifugae Rhizoma (Shengma), Rehmanniae Radix Preparata (Shengdi), Saposhnikoviae Radix (Fangfeng), Phellodendri Cortex Praeparata cum Vino (Jiu Jin Huangbai), and Ephedrae Herba (Mahuang); 2 fen each of Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizoma (Chuanxiong), Puerariae Radix (Gegen), Aucklandiae Radix (Muxiang), Atractylodis Rhizoma (Cangzhu), Scutellariae Radix Praeparata cum Vino (Jiu Jin Huangqin), and Bupleuri Radix (Chaihu); 1 fen each of Carthami Flos (Honghua), Asari Radix et Rhizoma (Xixin), Tangerine Peel (Chenpi), Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (Baizhu), and Sappan Lignum (Sumu); 3 fen each of Licorice Root (Gancao), Coptidis Rhizoma (Huanglian), and Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Guishen); 5 li each of Forsythiae Fructus (Lianqiao) and Evodiae Fructus (Wuyu). Total 22 herbs. Weigh accurately as one dose. Decoct one day before Li Chun, Li Xia, Li Qiu, and Li Dong. Expose to dew overnight. Place the medicine bowl in a container with a little water, covered by a gauze sieve. If cloudy, place under eaves avoiding rain. Drink warm the next morning. Take four doses within one year to permanently prevent pox. Skeptics may try one or two doses; pox will be sparse. Diarrhea after the first dose indicates expulsion of fetal toxins; diarrhea stops at the second dose. No diarrhea initially suggests light toxins. If the infant refuses, the nursing mother may take it. This formula is repeatedly verified; do not neglect it.
[Zifu Immortal Formula for Sparse Pox]: Use 81 Qinghao seeds (Fructus Artemisiae Annuae), 3 fen of purified Cinnabar (Zhusha), 3 qian of Licorice Root (Gancao), and 1 qian of true Mung Bean Powder (Lv Dou Fen). Pick 7 red and 7 white Impatiens balsamina flowers (Fengxian Hua), 1 lotus flower (He Hua), 1 lotus leaf (He Ye), and 1 stem on the Seventh Day of the Seventh Lunar Month, carrying dew. Dry and grind previous ingredients to fine powder (approx. 2 fen). Mix 1 qian of this powder on the days of Er Zhi (Winter Solstice/Summer Solstice). If the child refuses, add 1 qian rock sugar, or mix with pig kidney/chicken liver powder. Repeated doses reduce pox density; can also be taken during eruption to prevent sinking/collapse. For excess Liver Fire, add Mung Beans; Heart Fire, Red Beans; Kidney toxin, Black Beans; Upper body failure to erupt, Mint (Bohe); Lower body failure, Achyranthes Root (Niuxi); Convulsions, Uncaria (Gouteng); Pale color, Carthamus (Honghua). Added herbs max 1 qian each (double if doubled); Honghua and Bohe halved. Decoct in water to mix with powder.
[Luffa Acne-Prevention Formula]: Select fresh, edible luffa fruits. Hang under eaves to air-dry. Use only the 2-3 cun near the stem. Roast on a tile until "preserving nature," grind to fine powder. Mix 1 qian powder with 3 fen of water-purified Cinnabar (Zhusha). Dose: 5 fen per administration, mixed with brown sugar. Frequency depends on age: newborns once; under 3 years twice; over 3 years 3-4 times. Converts dense to sparse, sparse to none. An ancient formula, highly effective. One child took maximum doses and never developed pox.
[Secret Formula for Sparse Pox]: Collect fingernails/toenails from biological parents. Store beforehand. On New Year's Eve, collect equal amounts, roast on new tiles until "preserving nature." When smoke subsides, place on ground and cover with a bowl to prevent ash formation. Remove heat, grind to powder. Collect Phoenix Coat (membrane inside eggshell) from chicks hatched around mid-December. Roast on new tiles until slightly yellow, grind finely. Roast and grind Cicada Slough (Chan Tui). Mix these three in equal proportions based on nail quantity. On New Year's Eve night, mix with boiling water and feed to child. Continue for three years (three courses). Permanently prevents pox. If pox appears within 1-2 years, it will be sparse.
[Divine Efficacy Formula for Sparse Pox]: Lightly stir-fry Honeysuckle Flower (Jinyinhua), grind to powder, add little white sugar, mix with boiling water. Long-term use reduces pox.
Another Method: Decoct 1 jin Honeysuckle Flower and 4 liang Licorice Root (Gancao), mix with white sugar to form a paste. Take 1-2 spoons morning and evening. Reduces pox and detoxifies generally.
[Good Method for Sparse Pox]: At the hour of Winter Solstice, dig a pit approx. 1 chi deep in a frequently walked indoor area. Bury 15 eggs. Place bricks on four sides, lay bamboo strips on bricks, cover with bamboo, refill earth. Retrieve at the hour of Beginning of Spring. Daily, boil one egg with a pinch of Mung Beans (Lv Dou) and feed to child. Do not interrupt. Three courses guarantee lifelong prevention. Among many formulas, this simple one is miraculous.
[Various Formulas for Infant Sparse Pox]: Use 1 liang each of Adzuki Beans, Black Soybeans, and Mung Beans. Grind to powder. Process like Homo Faeces Praeparata: Insert powder into a fresh bamboo tube (ends intact, peeled/scraped thin). Seal hole with sharp fir wood tip and melted wax. Immerse in manure pit in December. Take out after one month, air dry. Mix 1 liang powder with 3 qian White Plum Blossoms (Meihua). Dose: 1 qian, washed down with decoction of frost-after Luffa Vine (Sigua Teng). Prevents pox effectively. Avoid meat/fish for 12 days; black stool indicates efficacy. Annual dose for three years prevents pox.
Appendix: Processing Homo Faeces Praeparata is similar. Use raw powdered Licorice Root (Gancao), sifted. Insert into tube. Immerse in male manure pit in winter, retrieve in summer next year. Dry, scrape tube. Repeat immersion annually for 3-4 years; longer is better. If tube cracks, replace; the feces powder forms a solid block. Avoid fire, grind, re-insert. If tube intact, no need to replace yearly; just reseal wax. The powder turns dark yellow/black. Dry, grind, store in paper wrapped in ventilated place for 1-1.5 years until odorless. This is a supreme treasure for pediatric heat-toxin, erysipelas, throat diseases, and various heat toxins. Preparing it for others accumulates great merit.
[Plum Blossom Acne-Prevention Formula]: Collect white plum blossoms in December. Air-dry, grind to powder. Make pills with refined honey, size of Chinese Quince Seed (Qianshi). Dissolve one pill in good wine. Recite "Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun" 100 times. Highly efficacious.
