明·刘诚意伯言∶药不对症,枉死者多,余曾祖若谷公《秘集》云∶痈疽无一死症,而
诸书所载,患生何处,病属何经,故治乳岩而用羚羊、犀角,治横 而用生地、防已,治瘰
、恶核而用夏枯、连翘,概不论阴虚阳实,惟以引经药治,以致乳岩、横 ,成功不救。
瘰、恶核,溃久成怯。全不悔引经之药误,反诿言∶白疽百人,百可到泉乡。夫红痈乃阳
实之症,气血热而毒滞;白疽乃阴虚之症,气血寒而毒凝。二者以开腠理为要,腠理开,红
痈解毒止痛即消;白疽解寒化凝立愈。若凭经而失症,治者药虽之经而实背症也。世之患阴
疽而毙命者,岂乏人乎!如以阴虚阳实别治,痈疽无死症之语确矣。余曾祖留心此道,以临
危救活之方,大患初起立消之药,一一笔之于书,为传家珍宝。余幼读之,与世诸书治法迥
别,历症四十余年,临危者救之,初起者消之,疼痛痒极者止之,溃烂不堪者敛之,百治百
灵,万无一失。因思痈疽凭经并治,久遍天下,分别阴阳两治,惟余一家。且余之治,止于
村境,若遍通邑,分身无术,偶闻枉死,无不痛惜!特以祖遗之秘,自己临症并药到病愈之
方,精制药石之法,和盘托出,尽登是集,并序而梓之,以质诸世之留心救人者,根据方修合
,根据法法制,根据症用药,庶免枉死,使天下后世知痈疽果无死症云尔!
用泥鳅捣烂后敷在患处,也有疗效。
取蜂蜜八两,煮沸后,加入优质烧酒一斤,趁热尽量饮服以出汗,然后安静躺卧。次日异物便会自行排出。
将肥腻的老腊肉捣烂,加入少许指甲末和象牙末,搅拌均匀后敷在患处,异物即可排出。
另一个方子:采山中牛粪上生长的蘑菇,晒干研成粉末,用蜂蜜调和后敷在患处,异物会自行排出。
又一个方子:用米制作的寒食饴糖敷在患处,疼痛停止并感到瘙痒时,异物就会排出。
又一个方子:取半粒巴豆和一个蜣螂(屎壳郎),一同捣烂涂抹,当感到极度瘙痒时,异物就会排出。如果是锡弹射入肉内,可将水银灌入伤口,锡弹便会自行溶解。
凡是箭头折断在骨肉之间的情况,必须先服用麻醉药,使患者不知疼痛,才能用钳子取出。如果小刺排不出来,可以用黑神散(又名百草霜,即锅底煤)炒至无烟,用清油调和后敷在患处,刺即可排出。
明代刘诚意伯说:药不对症,枉死的人很多。我的曾祖父若谷公在《秘集》中说:痈疽没有必死的病症。但各种医书所载,只关注病生在何处、属于哪条经络,因此治疗乳岩(乳腺癌)使用羚羊角、犀角,治疗横痃(腹股沟淋巴结结核)使用生地、防己,治疗瘰疬(颈部淋巴结结核)、恶核(皮下结节)使用夏枯草、连翘,一概不论阴虚还是阳实,只用引经药治疗,导致乳岩、横痃等病,即使治愈也无法挽救生命。瘰疬、恶核,溃烂日久会导致身体虚弱。医者完全不反思引经药造成的误治,反而推脱说:“白疽百人,百人可到泉乡(意指都会死)。”其实红痈是阳实证,气血热而毒邪停滞;白疽是阴虚证,气血寒而毒邪凝结。这两种病都以开通腠理(皮肤毛孔及纹理)为关键,腠理开通,红痈解毒止痛随即消退;白疽散寒化凝立即痊愈。如果只凭经络辨证而忽视症状表现,医者虽然用药符合经络,但实际上违背了病症本质。世上患阴疽而死的人,难道还少吗!如果能根据阴虚和阳实分别治疗,那么“痈疽无死症”的说法就是确凿无疑的。我的曾祖父留心于此道,将临危救活的方法、大病初起即能消除的药物,一一记录在书中,作为传家的珍宝。我自幼研读,发现其治疗方法与世间其他医书截然不同。历经四十多年的临床实践,对临危者进行救治,对初起者进行消散,对疼痛瘙痒剧烈者进行止痛止痒,对溃烂不堪者进行收敛生肌,百治百灵,万无一失。想到痈疽仅凭经络统一治疗,久已遍行天下,而区分阴阳分别治疗,只有我家一家如此。而且我的治疗范围仅限于乡村境界,若能遍及全城,则分身乏术,偶然听到有人枉死,无不痛心惋惜!特此将祖传的秘方、自己临床验证且药到病愈的方子、精心炮制药物的方法,全部公开,尽数收录于本集中,并作序刊印,以此向世间关心救人的人士请教,希望人们依据方剂配制,依据法则施治,依据症状用药,从而避免枉死,让天下后世知道痈疽确实没有必死的病症罢了!
Apply crushed loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) to the affected area; this is also effective.
Take eight taels of honey, boil until rolling, add one jin of good-quality distilled liquor, drink as much as possible while hot to induce sweating, then lie down quietly. The foreign body will discharge spontaneously the next day.
Mash fatty, aged cured meat, mix with a small amount of powdered fingernails and powdered ivory, apply evenly to the site; the foreign body will be expelled.
Another prescription: Gather mushrooms growing on cow dung in the mountains, dry them, grind into powder, mix with honey, and apply; the foreign body will discharge spontaneously.
Another prescription: Apply cold-food maltose made from rice to the affected area; when pain ceases and itching occurs, the foreign body will be expelled.
Another prescription: Crush half a seed of Croton tiglium (Badi Dou, 巴豆) and one dung beetle (Scarabaeus sacer, 蜣螂), apply the paste; when extreme itching occurs, the foreign body will be expelled. If a tin bullet has penetrated the flesh, pour mercury into the wound; the tin bullet will dissolve spontaneously.
For arrowheads broken off between bone and flesh, an anesthetic must be administered first to render the patient insensible to pain, so that they can be extracted with forceps. If a small splinter cannot be removed, use Heishen San (Black Divine Powder, also known as Baicaoshuang, i.e., soot from the bottom of the cooking pot), stir-fry until smoke disappears, mix with refined sesame oil, and apply; the splinter will be expelled.
Liu Chengyi Bo of the Ming Dynasty stated: "Many people die in vain due to mismatched prescriptions." My great-grandfather, Ruo Gu Gong, in his *Secret Collection*, said: "There are no fatal cases of carbuncles and sores." However, various medical texts focus only on where the disease arises and which meridian it belongs to. Thus, for treating ru yan (breast cancer), they use Antelope Horn (Lingyang Jiao, 羚羊角) and Rhinoceros Horn (Xijiao, 犀角); for heng xuan (inguinal lymphadenitis), they use Rehmannia Root (Sheng Di Huang, 生地) and Stephania Tetrandra (Fangji, 防己); for luo li (scrofula) and e he (subcutaneous nodules), they use Prunella Vulgaris (Xiakucao, 夏枯草) and Forsythia Fruit (Lianqiao, 连翘). They generally do not differentiate between yin deficiency and yang excess, relying solely on guiding herbs, resulting in cases of ru yan and heng xuan where, even if treated, life cannot be saved. Luo li and e he, after prolonged ulceration, lead to debility. Practitioners fail to reflect on the errors caused by guiding herbs, instead excusing themselves by saying, "Among those with white abscesses, all hundred will go to the underworld." In fact, red carbuncle is a yang excess syndrome, characterized by hot qi and blood with stagnant toxin; white abscess is a yin deficiency syndrome, characterized by cold qi and blood with coagulated toxin. For both, opening the couli (skin pores and interstices) is essential. Once the couli are open, the red carbuncle's toxin is resolved, pain stops, and it subsides; the white abscess's cold is dispersed, coagulation resolves, and it heals immediately. If one relies solely on meridians while ignoring symptoms, although the drugs may correspond to the meridians, they actually contradict the disease nature. Are there not many people in the world who die from yin abscesses! If treatment distinguishes between yin deficiency and yang excess, the statement that "there are no fatal cases of carbuncles and sores" is indeed accurate. My great-grandfather paid close attention to this field, recording methods for saving lives in critical conditions and medicines that eliminate major diseases at their onset in a book, making it a family treasure. I studied it since childhood and found its treatment methods vastly different from other contemporary texts. Having practiced clinically for over forty years, I have saved those in critical condition, dissipated those at the onset, stopped pain and severe itching, and promoted healing for unbearable ulcerations. It works perfectly every time, without failure. Reflecting that treating carbuncles and sores based solely on meridians has been prevalent worldwide for a long time, while distinguishing yin and yang for separate treatment is unique to my family, and considering my practice is limited to village boundaries, whereas extending it to the whole city would require multiple bodies, I feel deep sorrow whenever I hear of unnecessary deaths. Therefore, I hereby disclose the ancestral secret formulas, clinical prescriptions proven effective, and precise methods for preparing medicinal materials, including them all in this collection, preface them, and have them printed, to consult with those in the world who care about saving lives. May people follow the prescriptions for compounding, follow the methods for treatment, and follow the symptoms for medication, thereby avoiding unnecessary deaths, allowing future generations to know that carbuncles and sores indeed have no fatal cases!
