小柴胡汤内。加芒硝六两。余根据前法。服不解。更服。
内台方议问曰。潮热者。实也。即实且热。何不用大柴胡。大小承气汤下之。却用芒硝。何也。答曰潮热虽实。
奈何先以丸药。伤动脏腑。再用大黄下之。则脾气伤而复成坏证。只得用芒硝以浸润之而取利也。
伤寒八九日下之。胸满烦惊。小便不利谵语。一身尽重。不可转侧者。柴胡加龙骨牡蛎汤主之。
此条乃太阳病并于少阳。兼入胃府之证。伤寒八九日。若似乎可下矣。既下之后。而胸满云云者此下之不得其宜。
阳热乘虚入里。而客于胸中。故烦满也。惊者。心恶热而神不安也。小便不利者。膀胱约而水不行也。惟烦满。故热入
于胃而谵语。惟小便不利。故湿渍于脾。脾困。则四肢不健运。而身重不可转侧。与柴胡加龙骨牡蛎汤者。外以解热邪。
内以除水湿。兼镇浮越之气而补其中州之虚也。上二条证并下方自太阳中篇移附于此。

余实愚蒙。不敢信以为是也。
伤寒六七日发热。微恶寒。支节烦疼。微呕。心下支结。外证未去者。柴胡桂枝汤主之。(此条系太阳病传入少阳之
证。少阳邪多。太阳邪少。故从少阳篇例。伤寒六七日。邪气传里之时。成注云支者。散也。谓邪气之结。虽起于心下。
而散于胁旁。后条辩以支字。解作撑。若有物支撑在胸胁间。其义甚明。兼之微呕者。此系少阳之邪正盛也。外证未去。
此指上文发热恶寒支节烦疼而言。夫寒热而曰微。支节疼而曰烦。此可征太阳之表邪已轻。其势渐趋于里矣。故以柴胡
合桂枝汤以两解之。)
(This prescription is extracted from Volume 10 of the original treatise and attached here.)
Add six liang of Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas) to Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction). Prepare and administer the remaining ingredients according to the previous method. If the condition does not resolve after administration, administer again.
*Neitai Fangyi* asks: "Tidal fever indicates an excess syndrome. Since it is both excess and heat, why not use Daxiehu Tang (Major Bupleurum Decoction) or Dachengqi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction) and Xiaochengqi Tang (Minor Order the Qi Decoction) to purge? Why use only Mangxiao?" The answer is: Although tidal fever is an excess syndrome, unfortunately, pill-based purgatives were used previously, damaging the zang-fu organs. Using Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) for further purging would damage the Spleen Qi and result in a complicated disease (Huai Zheng). Therefore, one can only use Mangxiao to moisten dryness and soften hardness to achieve bowel movement.
After eight or nine days of Shanghan (Cold Damage), if purgation is mistakenly applied, resulting in chest fullness, irritability, palpitations/fright, difficulty in urination, delirium, heaviness of the entire body, and inability to turn over, Chaihu Jia Longgu Muli Tang (Bupleurum Decoction with Dragon Bone and Oyster Shell) should be administered.
This clause describes a syndrome where Taiyang disease merges into Shaoyang and involves the Stomach Fu organ. After eight or nine days of Shanghan, it might seem appropriate to apply purgation. However, the appearance of the aforementioned symptoms after purgation indicates that the purgation was inappropriate. Yang-heat enters the interior by taking advantage of the deficiency and lodges in the chest, causing irritability and fullness. Fright occurs because the Heart dislikes heat and the Spirit becomes unsettled. Difficulty in urination arises because the Bladder's constriction prevents water flow. Due to irritability and fullness, heat enters the Stomach causing delirium; due to difficulty in urination, dampness infiltrates the Spleen. When the Spleen is constrained, the four limbs fail to transport and transform effectively, leading to body heaviness and inability to move freely. Chaihu Jia Longgu Muli Tang is given to release exterior heat pathogens internally and eliminate damp-water, while simultaneously anchoring floating and hyperactive Qi and tonifying the deficiency of the Middle Jiao. The above two clauses and the following prescription are transferred from the Taiyang chapter of the original text and attached here.
Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma, 2 he, washed)
Dazao (Jujubae Fructus, 6 pieces)
Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix, 4 liang)
Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens)
Renshen (Ginseng Radix)
Longgu (Fossilia Ossis Mastodi)
Qiandan (Lapis Plumbi Subacetatis)
Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus, bark removed)
Fuling (Poria, each 1.5 liang)
Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, 2 liang)
Muli (Ostreae Concha, 1.5 liang, calcined)
Take the above eleven herbs. Boil in eight sheng of water until reduced to four sheng. Add Dahuang, cut into chess-piece sized chunks. Boil for one or two more boils. Strain the dregs. Take one sheng warm.
Hu notes: In the above formula, Chaihu serves as the Sovereign herb, specifically targeting the Shaoyang channel to relieve chest and diaphragm fullness and irritability. Renshen, Banxia, Shengjiang, Dazao, and Fuling serve as Minister herbs to strengthen the Spleen, promote urination, and treat body heaviness. Longgu, Muli, and Qiandan serve as Assistant herbs to calm the Heart, eliminate fright, and clear heat. Dahuang is added as an Adjunct to cleanse gastric excess and stop delirium. Guizhi acts as the Envoy, entering the Taiyang channel to circulate in the limbs externally. Essentially, this formula treats both exterior and interior, combines tonification and purgation, and uses both unblocking and astringent methods. It is likely not Zhang Zhongjing’s original prescription, but rather an error during Wang Shuhe’s compilation. I dare not recommend using this formula for such conditions. Why? If chest fullness and delirium are considered excess syndromes, then Dahuang should be used alone, without Renshen. If fright, irritability, difficulty in urination, and body heaviness are considered deficiency syndromes, then Renshen, Dazao, Fuling, and Longgu should be used, without Dahuang. Moreover, Longgu, Muli, and Qiandan are heavy, astringent, and yin-toxic substances, which are likely unsuitable for cases involving difficulty in urination and body heaviness. *Shanglun Pian* claims this formula has the merit of stabilizing the interior, repelling the exterior, and replenishing heaven and earth. I am too ignorant to believe this assertion.
If, after six or seven days of Shanghan, there is fever, slight aversion to cold, discomfort and pain in the limbs and joints, slight vomiting, a sensation of support and accumulation below the heart (epigastrium), and the exterior signs have not yet resolved, Chaihu Guizhi Tang (Bupleurum and Cinnamon Twig Decoction) should be administered. (This clause belongs to the syndrome of Taiyang disease transmitting to Shaoyang. With more pathogenic factors in Shaoyang and fewer in Taiyang, it follows the examples of the Shaoyang chapter. During the sixth or seventh day of Shanghan, when pathogenic factors transmit inward, Cheng Wuji’s commentary states that 'zhi' means scattered, indicating that although the pathogenic knot originates in the epigastrium, it scatters to the hypochondriac region. Later commentators interpret 'zhi' as 'supporting,' implying a sensation of something propping up between the chest and hypochondrium, which is very clear. Additionally, slight vomiting indicates that Shaoyang pathogenic factors are flourishing. 'Exterior signs not yet resolved' refers to the fever, aversion to cold, and limb/joint pain mentioned earlier. The fact that chills and fever are slight, and joint pain is described as uncomfortable/distressing, indicates that the exterior pathogenic factors of Taiyang have lightened and the trend is gradually moving inward. Therefore, Chaihu Tang is combined with Guizhi Tang to resolve both channels simultaneously.)
