（附∶愈痫丸、息神丸）
痫疯最为难治之证，因其根蒂最深，故不易治耳。愚平素对于此证，有单用磨刀水治愈者；有单用熊
胆治愈者；有单用芦荟治愈者；有用磁朱丸加赭石治愈者。然如此治法，效者固多，不效者亦恒有之，仍觉
对于此证未有把握。后治奉天王氏妇，年近三旬，得痫疯证，医治年余不愈，浸至每日必发，且病势较重。
其证甫发时作狂笑，继则肢体抽掣，昏不知人。脉象滑实，关前尤甚。知其痰火充盛，上并于心，神不守舍，
故作狂笑；痰火上并不已，迫激脑筋，失其所司，故肢体抽掣，失其知觉也。先投以拙拟荡痰汤，间日一剂。
三剂后，病势稍轻，遂改用丸药，硫化铅、生赭石、芒硝各二两，朱砂、青黛、白矾各一两，黄丹五钱，共
为细末，复用生怀山药四两为细末，焙熟，调和诸药中，炼蜜为丸二钱重。当空心时，开水送服一丸，日
两次。服至百丸全愈。
奉天刘姓学生，素患痫疯。愚曾用羚羊角加清火、理痰、镇肝之药治愈。隔二年，证又反复，再投以
原方不效。亦与以此丸，服尽六十丸全愈。
沈阳县乡间童子，年七八岁，夜间睡时骚扰不安，似有抽掣之状，此亦痫疯也。亦治以此丸，服至四十丸全愈。
此丸不但治痫疯，又善治神经之病。奉天赵××，年五十许，数年头迷心乱，精神恍惚，不由自主，屡
次医治不愈。亦治以此丸，惟方中白矾改为硼砂，仍用一两，亦服至百丸全愈。因
此丸屡用皆效，遂名此丸为愈痫丸。而以硼砂易白矾者，名为息神丸。
附∶制硫化铅法 用真黑铅、硫黄细末各一斤。先将铅入铁
锅中熔化，即将硫黄末四五两撒在铅上，黄即发焰，急用铁铲拌
炒，所熔之铅即结成砂子。其有未尽结者，又须将硫黄末接续撒其上，勿令火熄，仍不住拌熔化之铅，尽
结成砂子为度。待晾冷，所结砂子色若铅灰，入药钵细研为粉。去其研之成饼者，所余之
粉用芒硝半斤，分三次冲水，将其粉煮过三次，然后入药。

Epileptic convulsions are among the most difficult conditions to treat because their root is deeply entrenched, making them hard to cure. In my usual practice regarding this condition, I have cured cases using only water from sharpening knives; I have cured cases using only bear gallbladder (Ursi Fellea); I have cured cases using only aloe (Aloe); and I have cured cases using Cizhu Wan [Magnetite and Cinnabar Pill] combined with Hematitum (Ochre). However, such treatment methods, while effective in many cases, also frequently fail, leaving me feeling uncertain about having full control over this condition. Later, I treated a woman surnamed Wang from Fengtian, who was nearly thirty years old and suffering from epileptic convulsions. Despite medical treatment for over a year without success, her condition deteriorated to daily attacks with severe intensity. Upon onset, she would exhibit manic laughter, followed by limb convulsions and unconsciousness. Her pulse was slippery and excess, particularly pronounced at the Guan position anteriorly. This indicated abundant phlegm-fire harassing upward into the Heart, causing the Shen (Spirit) to lose its residence, hence the manic laughter; the unceasing upward rush of phlegm-fire stimulated the brain nerves, disrupting their function, hence the limb convulsions and loss of sensation. Initially, I administered Dangtan Tang [Phlegm-Scouring Decoction], which I formulated myself, one dose every other day. After three doses, the severity lessened slightly, so I switched to pills. The formula consisted of Lead Sulfide, Raw Ochre, and Mirabilite, each two liang; Cinnabar, Indigo Naturalis, and Alum, each one liang; and Minium, five qian. These were ground into fine powder together. Then, four liang of raw Huai Shan Yao [Dioscoreae Rhizoma] were ground into fine powder, roasted thoroughly, and mixed with the other powders. Honey was refined to form pills weighing two qian each. One pill should be taken on an empty stomach with warm boiled water, twice daily. After taking one hundred pills, she was completely cured.
A student surnamed Liu from Fengtian had long suffered from epileptic convulsions. I had previously cured him using Antelope Horn (Saiga Tataricae Cornu) combined with herbs that clear fire, resolve phlegm, and calm the Liver. Two years later, the condition recurred, and re-administering the original formula proved ineffective. He was given this same pill formula instead. After finishing sixty pills, he was completely cured.
A village boy in Shenyang County, aged seven or eight, was restless and disturbed during nighttime sleep, showing signs resembling convulsions; this too was epileptic convulsion. He was also treated with this pill formula. After taking forty pills, he was completely cured.
This pill formula not only treats epileptic convulsions but is also highly effective for nervous system disorders. A certain Mr. Zhao from Fengtian, around fifty years old, had suffered for years from dizziness and mental confusion, spiritual agitation, and involuntary movements, with multiple treatments failing. He was also treated with this pill formula, except that Alum in the prescription was replaced with Borax, still using one liang. After taking one hundred pills, he was completely cured. Because this pill formula has proven effective repeatedly, it was named Yupian Pill [Epilepsy-Curing Pill]. The version where Borax replaces Alum is named Xishen Pill [Spirit-Calming Pill].
Attachment: Method for Preparing Lead Sulfide Use one jin each of pure black lead and fine sulfur powder. First, melt the lead in an iron pot. Then, sprinkle four or five liang of sulfur powder onto the molten lead. The sulfur will ignite; immediately stir-fry with an iron shovel. The molten lead will congeal into granular sand-like particles. For any remaining un-congealed portions, continue sprinkling sulfur powder upon them, ensuring the fire does not go out, while continuously stirring the molten lead until all parts have congealed into sand-like particles. After cooling, the resulting particles, which resemble lead-gray in color, are placed in a mortar and ground finely into powder. Discard any material that has formed cakes during grinding. Take the remaining powder and boil it three times, adding half a jin of Mirabilite dissolved in water each time, before incorporating it into medicinal preparations.
