今晚明早共三帖。
In the early morning, if mental clarity is not fully restored, administer Zixue Dan (Purple Snow Pill) again, 3 to 5 qian.

Mudanpi (Moutan Cortex, 6 qian), Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix, 2 liang), Sheng Shigao (Raw Gypsum Fibrosum, 8 qian), Chao Jingmi (Stir-fried Rice, a pinch).
Decoct for the first time to obtain three cups of liquid; decoct for the second time to obtain two cups. Take one cup three times today, and one cup twice tomorrow morning.
On the 5th day: Add to the previous prescription:
Yuanshen (Scrophulariae Radix, 6 qian); remove Jingmi.
This case has taken a total of 1 liang 8 qian of Zixue Dan and five pills of Niuhuang Wan (Calculus Bovis Pill). Mental clarity is restored, stool is unblocked, tongue coating recedes, pulse becomes calm, and body temperature normalizes. Subsequently, Erjia Fumai Tang (Two-Shells Decoction to Restore Pulse) was administered for eighteen doses.
Patient Pu, male, 44 years old, May 29th. The warm-heat pathogen had persisted for over a month without resolution. Initially, incorrect tonification of the Middle Jiao was used, leaving no exit for the pathogen. Subsequently, rigid agents from the Summerheat-Dampness category were employed, worsening the condition rather than alleviating it. It is proposed to use a combination of Sweet-Cold and Bitter-Cold herbs to transform Yin Qi, allowing urination to occur naturally. Forcing diuresis would risk exhausting the source of fluids!
Sheng Shigao (Raw Gypsum Fibrosum, 1 liang), Yuanshen (Scrophulariae Radix, 1 liang), Xi Shengdihuang (Fine Raw Rehmanniae Radix, 6 qian), Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma, 4 qian), Lianqiao (Forsythiae Fructum, 8 qian), Mudanpi (Moutan Cortex, 5 qian).
Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix, 8 qian), Yinhua (Lonicerae Japonicae Flos, 3 qian), Sheng Gancao (Raw Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 2 qian), Chao Huangqin (Stir-fried Scutellariae Radix, 2 qian), Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma, 2 qian).
Decoct into three bowls; take all three bowls in three divided doses today, and decoct one more bowl for tomorrow morning.
On the 30th: Yesterday, Yunnv Jian (Jade Woman Decoction) and Yinqiao San (Honeysuckle and Forsythia Powder) were combined, with added bitter-cold herbs. This represents the method of Sweet-Bitter transforming Yin Qi, as well as the Bitter-Acrid moistening method. Bowel movement has now been achieved ("sailing the boat"). Now entering the method of "penetrating Yin to search out pathogens."
Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix, 1 liang), Mudanpi (Moutan Cortex, 6 qian), Sheng Gancao (Raw Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 3 qian), Huangqin Tan (Charred Scutellariae Radix), Da Shengdihuang (Large Raw Rehmanniae Radix, 6 qian), Beishashen (Glehniae Radix, 5 qian).

Patient Shi, male, 38 years old. After sweating in a warm disease, the pulse should be calm and the body cool according to protocol. Although the pulse has weakened due to sweating, it still beats five times per breath and is not weak. Furthermore, the patient speaks incessantly and sharply when describing symptoms to the doctor. How could someone on the verge of collapse within a day or two exhibit such vigor? While others fear deficiency in this patient, I alone fear excess. Currently, frequent loose stools seem alarming, but we must not use astringents to consolidate the Kidney and Stomach gates. The latent pathogen has been hidden deeply for a long time; now that there is an outlet via the stool, how can we suddenly apply contraction and retention methods? However, slippery-nourishing herbs must be temporarily stopped. It is proposed to treat heat rampant inside with Sweet-Bitter methods, assisted by Salty-Cold herbs, ingeniously incorporating firming of Yin and retention within the formula.
Sheng Muli (Raw Ostreae Concha, 2 liang), Zhi Gancao (Honey-fried Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 5 qian), Sheng Biejia (Raw Trionycis Carapax, 2 liang), Huangbo Tan (Charred Phellodendri Cortex, 3 qian), Huangqin Tan (Charred Scutellariae Radix, 3 qian).
Patient Zhou, male, 63 years old, June 8th. Warm diseases strictly forbid the use of foot-Taiyang channel herbs. Moreover, Chaihu ascends directly to Shaoyang; unless lower exhaustion and upper reversal persist indefinitely. Even if it were Taiyang cold damage, Chaihu is never used for ten days continuously. Currently, vomiting and hematochezia are present, which *Ling Shu* calls incurable. Reluctantly, Xijiao Dihuang Tang (Rhino Horn and Rehmannia Decoction) is suggested, adding Huanglian for Sweet-Bitter transformation.
Da Shengdihuang (Large Raw Rehmanniae Radix, 6 qian), Xijiao (Rhinocerotis Cornu, 2 qian), Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma, 1 qian), Sheng Baishao (Raw Paeoniae Radix Alba, 4 qian), Mudanpi (Moutan Cortex, 4 qian), Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix, 6 qian, with heart), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, 2 qian).
Divide into two doses. Stop when vomiting and bleeding cease, and urine is no longer red.
On the 11th: Symptoms have slightly decreased, but due to the prolonged duration, priority is given to protecting Body Fluids. The Bitter-Sweet method to transform Yin Qi is resumed.
