Fangfeng Decoction (Wind-Proofing Decoction)
Saposhnikoviae Radix (Fangfeng), Scutellariae Radix (Pianqin, stir-fried with wine), Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma (Chuanxiong), Ophiopogonis Tuber (Mendong, each 0.5 fen); Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma (Renshen, 0.25 fen); Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao, 0.3 fen).
Adding Forsythiae Fructum (Lianqiao) and Scrophulariae Radix (Xuanshen), each 0.5 fen, to the above formula yields even better results.
(This syndrome is caused by deficiency-heat in the Spleen and Stomach; it belongs to Pi Gan [Spleen-related infantile malnutrition].)
Qingwei Yangpi Decoction (Stomach-Clearing and Spleen-Nourishing Decoction)
Gypsum Fibrosum (Shigao, 1 qian); Tangerine Peel (Chenpi), Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (Baizhu), Poria (Chifuling), Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao), Scutellariae Radix (Ruanqin, stir-fried with wine, each 0.2 fen).
Another method: Use good yellow earth, mix with decoction of Coptidis Rhizoma (Huanglian) to form cakes, dry them in the sun, and feed them to the child to stop salivation.
(Saliva flowing from the corners of the mouth is called Zhiyi [Saliva Retention].)
For cold saliva, warm the Stomach; decoct Illicii Fructus (Dingxiang) and Alpiniae Oxyphyllae Fructum (Yizhiren) for administration. For hot saliva, clear the Stomach; decoct Gardeniae Fructus (Shanzhi) and Trichosanthis Radix (Tianhuafen) for administration. If a child frequently flows clear saliva, it indicates the onset of Ascaris lumbricoides [roundworms] in the Stomach; treat with Litseae Radicis Cortex Decoction (Kulian Gen Tang).
(This condition is due to Qi deficiency; treat with Xionghuang San.)
Xionghuang Powder
Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma (Chuanxiong), Rehmanniae Radix Preparata (Shengdihuang), Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Danggui), Dioscoreae Rhizoma (Shanyao), Paeoniae Radix Alba (Baishaoyao, each 1 liang); Aquilariae Lignum Resinatum (Chenxiang, 5 qian); Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao, 3 qian).
Grind into powder, take with plain boiled water. Alternatively, apply the dry powder directly to the teeth twice daily. (When taken with boiled water, use 0.5 fen per dose.)
If hair fails to grow for a long time, it is due to Blood deficiency; treat with Congrong Wan.
Congrong Pill
Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Danggui), Rehmanniae Radix Preparata (Shengdi), Cistanches Herba (Roucongrou), Paeoniae Radix Alba (Baishaoyao, each 1 liang); Cerussa (Hufen, 0.5 fen).
Make pills with honey, size of millet seeds. Take 10 pills per dose, swallowed with Black Bean Soup. Also apply as a paste to the scalp.
Add Antler of Cervus Nippon Temminckii (Lurong), Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix (Niuxi), Acanthopanacis Cortex (Wujiaopi), and Schisandrae Fructum (Wuweizi) to Liuwei Dihuang Wan. If Lurong is unavailable, substitute with Bombyx Batryticatus (Baijiangcan).
Add Antler of Cervus Nippon Temminckii (Lurong), Schisandrae Fructum (Wuweizi), and Bombyx Batryticatus (Baijiangcan) to Dihuang Wan. If Lurong is unavailable, substitute with Lycii Fructus (Gouqizi). If the child does not speak at age four or five, moxa-convulse three moxa cones on each medial malleolus tip.
(Children must take the Xidou Fang [Rare Pox Formula] to eliminate fetal heat toxicity, so that during smallpox eruption, the pustules will be sparse and without various critical syndromes.)
Tuhong Wan (Rabbit Red Pill)
On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, take one live rabbit, collect its blood, mix with Buckwheat Flour (Qiaomai mian), add a small amount of Realgar (Xionghuang, 3-4 fen), dry it, grind into powder, and make pills the size of mung beans. Administer with breast milk. One-year-old infants take 5 or 7 pills; after age three, take 15 pills. Long-term consumption causes red spots to appear all over the body, which verifies its efficacy. Some children never develop smallpox; if they do, the pustules are sparse. After growing up, eating rabbit blood is also beneficial. Although rabbits from the twelfth month can be used, those from the eighth month are superior.
Another prescription: Cinnabar (Zhusha) affects smallpox by making dense eruptions sparse, preventing eruptions where they are already sparse, raising depressed black lesions, and resolving carbuncles. Adding 0.3 fen of Zhusha to the above pill is excellent. However, Zhusha is cold in nature and should not be taken in large amounts.
Dusheng Dan (Unique Holy Pill)
Take a three-cun segment of Loofah Vine (Sigua) near the leaves, including the skin, place it in a clay pot, burn with mulberry wood until carbonized (preserve nature), grind into powder, add double the amount of refined sugar, and pound into cakes. Feed to the child frequently; finishing the cake is ideal. Taking this reduces numerous pustules to few, few to none, and severe cases to mild. Another method suggests adding a small amount of Cinnabar (Zhusha) for better effect.
Method of Consuming Plum Blossoms
In the twelfth lunar month, collect plum blossoms, any quantity, dry in shade, grind into powder, make pills with refined honey the size of Chinese Quince Seed (Qianshi). Dissolve one pill in good wine and administer. Recite "Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun" one hundred times mentally; the effect is indescribable.
Longmeng Gao (Dragon-Phoenix Ointment)
Take one Black-bone Chicken Egg (Wuji dan), make a small hole, insert one small live Earthworm (Dilong), seal the hole, steam until cooked, remove the earthworm, and let the child consume the egg. Take one egg per year on the Start of Spring (Lichun) to prevent smallpox for life.
These are my humble opinions for modification, left for experts to select or discard.
Jiajian Renshen Baidu San (Modified Ginseng Detoxifying Powder)
Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix (Qianghuo), Angelicae Pubescentis Radix (Duhuo), Peucedani Radix (Qianhu), Bupleuri Radix (Chaihu, honey-fried), Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma (Renshen), Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Dangguishen, wine-washed), Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma (Chuanxiong), Ziziphi Spinosae Semen (Suanzaoren, skin and tip removed, ground, stir-fried separately), Fritillariae Thunbergii Bulbus (Beimu, heart removed, dried), Puerariae Lobatae Radix (Gegen, each 1 qian); Platycodonis Radix (Jiegeng), Arctii Fructus (Niubangzi, ground, wine-stir-fried), Forsythiae Fructum (Lianqiao), Saposhnikoviae Radix (Fangfeng, each 0.7 fen); Aurantii Fructus Immaturus (Zhiqiao, bran-fried), Cornu Rhinocerotis (Xijiao), Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao), Anemarrhenae Rhizoma (Zhimu, wine-stir-fried), Zingiberis Rhizoma Preparatum (Ganjiang, charred, each 0.5 fen).
If various symptoms are present, modify according to the above formula and prepare accordingly. Pre-administering over one hundred doses of this preparation will not only result in sparse smallpox pustules but also prevent lifelong boils, carbuncles, and various toxic swellings. It is an extremely effective formula.
