Whenever malaria has attacked two or three times, the medicine can then be taken.
Changshan (Stellerae Radix, stir-fried with rice wine) Caoguo Ren (Amomi Fructus, roasted in hot sand) Banxia Qu (Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum, stir-fried with ginger juice) Zhi Xiangfu (Cyperi Rhizoma, processed) Qingpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride, stir-fried, each four liang).
Add Shenqu (Massa Medicata Fermentata, twelve liang), grind all together into fine powder. Use rice water and honey to make pills, size like a bullet. Coat with Chen Sha (Cinnabar). For mild malaria, take one pill; for severe malaria, take two pills.

Treats "Malaria Mother" (chronic splenomegaly due to malaria) formed by the consolidation of malaria pathogens with phlegm and blood stasis. The pathogen resides eccentrically in the hypochondrium. If not treated urgently, it will surely cause great harm.
Biejia (Testudinis Carapax et Plastrum, roasted, twelve fen) Wushan (Belamcandae Rhizoma/Iris Tectorii Rhizoma, i.e., Shegan, three fen, burned) Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, three fen) Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix, six fen) Shufu (Armadillidi Vulgaris, three fen, boiled) Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) Danpi (Moutan Cortex, roasted) Chixiao (Natrii Sulfas Ruber, three fen).
The above twenty-three ingredients are ground into powder. Take ten dou of ash from the belly of a hot stove, and one hu of clear wine. Use five sheng of wine to soak the ash.
Wait until half of the wine has seeped away. Place Biejia in it, boil until it becomes soft and rotten, resembling glue or lacquer. Strain to obtain the juice. Mix with the medicinal powder to make pills, size like a wu zi (seed of Sophora japonica).
(Note: Original text lists only Shufu and Chixiao here, likely an excerpt error, translated as is.)

The *Jin Gui Yao Lue* states: When Yang qi emits alone and Yin qi is isolated and cut off, there will be fever with shortness of breath and vexation, heat in the hands and feet, and a desire to vomit. This is called Dan Malaria (Febrile Malaria). The pulse is calm, the body has no chills, but... [Text fragment] treat...

Treats Mu Malaria (Cold-predominant Malaria) where cold is more prominent than heat. This indicates the pathogen has lodged in the epigastrium ("heart below"), indicating a severe condition.
Shuqi (Pteridis Preparata, i.e., Tiancha, burned to remove fishy odor) Yunmu (Microlite, burned for two nights) Longgu (Fossilia Ossis Mastodi, equal parts).
Grind together into powder to make a san (powder). Before the onset of the disease, mix with rice water and take five fen.

Treats Mu Malaria.
Muli (Ostreae Concha) Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba, each eight fen) Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, four fen) Shuqi (Pteridis Preparata, stir-fried thoroughly, six fen).
Decoct in water and take. If vomiting occurs, do not take again. Vomiting expels the pathogen.

Treats malaria attacks accompanied by thirst, and also treats Lao Malaria (Consumptive Malaria).
Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix, one qian six fen) Renshen (Ginseng Radix) Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, each six fen) Gualou Gen (Trichosanthis Radix, eight fen). Add Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, two qian) and Dazao (Ziziphi Jujubae Fructus, four pieces).

Treats malaria attacks where cold is much greater than heat, or only cold without heat. One dose yields miraculous results.
Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix, three qian) Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus, one qian two fen) Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, eight fen) Gualou Gen (Trichosanthis Radix, one qian five fen) Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, one qian two fen) Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, dosage missing in original).
Decoct in water and take. Recovery occurs after slight sweating post-administration.

Dysentery Pulse Diagnosis: A large pulse in dysentery indicates a ominous prognosis. Floating, surging, rapid, and frequent pulses are difficult to relax. Deep and thin pulses indicate spirit presence, do not fear. Tight, firm, intermittent, and scattered pulses are intolerable (indicative of death).
Deep, thin, and forceless pulses suggest the dysentery should ease. Rapid, hurried, wiry, and scattered pulses contradict the pathology. Yin pulses are auspicious; Yang pulses are mostly ominous. In initial dysentery, a choppy pulse appears; in chronic dysentery, a deep and soggy pulse appears. Tonifying Qi is the principle to follow.

Malaria Pulse Diagnosis: The pulse of a malaria patient is invariably wiry. If accompanied by slippery and large, it indicates phlegm-fluid retention. Wiry and forceful warns of convulsions and fainting. Wiry and forceless indicates a lingering course. A wiry pulse that is straight and rigid is not auspicious; deep, minute, and small indicates deficiency and protraction. A newly appearing wiry pattern represents the True Visceral pulse; few auspicious signs, many ominous ones, indicating biased disease qi. Wiry indicates phlegm-heat; wiry and slow indicates wind connection. Wiry and slow-chilly indicates cold predominance; wiry and rapid indicates heat entanglement. Wiry, choppy, and small indicates dampness and wind linkage. Only wiry without slowness makes safety difficult to promise.

Blood Disorders: Hematemesis (Vomiting Blood) Coughing Blood Spitting Blood Epistaxis Gingival Bleeding Lingual Bleeding Hematochezia (Blood in Stool) Hematuria Blood Leukorrhea Metrorrhagia Faquan (Note: Term unclear, kept as is).
The Classics state: The Middle Jiao receives Qi, extracts juices, transforms them into red, which is called Blood. The overflow of blood,
half flows along the Chong and Ren meridians within the collaterals, half scatters into the vessels to nourish muscles, interstices, skin, and hair. It is also said: Injury to Yang collaterals causes blood to overflow externally,
manifesting as hematemesis, coughing blood, spitting blood, epistaxis, gingival bleeding, lingual bleeding, etc.
These symptoms are all caused by diseases of both Yin and Yang collaterals. Injury to Yang collaterals,
injury to Yin collaterals, must be accompanied by Seven Emotions. Thus, internal injury and external contraction both lead to bleeding. Dissecting animal abdomens, the area under the heart, along the spine and pericardium, contains much blood.
Those with abundant blood are called "Stomach Blood" by physicians, which is erroneous. Ye's school claims the Heart...
Of these two theories, Ye's is the most accurate. I hold that all Five Zang organs
and Six Fu organs possess blood. Ancients believed the Heart generates blood, the Liver stores blood,
also referred to as the Sea of Blood. Moreover, the Chong Mai belongs to the Yangming, and Yangming is the Grand
Fu organ. Can we distinguish between Fu organs with blood and those without? Humans are microcosms. Qi
acts upon it. If the Lung desires to form an abscess, Qi must stagnate there, and Blood follows. However,
from the smallest areas down to the hair follicles, everything is filled internally and dispersed externally.
This is the movement of Qi. That is, when Qi moves, Blood moves; when Qi stagnates, Blood stagnates.
Books say: When Heaven is about to rain heavily, mountains and rivers emit clouds. From this, one can comprehend the principles that Qi generates Blood and Qi controls Blood. I must adhere to the ancients' view that the Heart generates blood,
the Liver stores blood...
