Liu's prescription for treating pediatric cholera with vomiting but no diarrhea.
Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix) [6 fen], Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) [4 fen], Hou Po (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex), prepared by stir-frying [2 fen], Ju Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) [1 fen], Tu Gu (Leporis Os), prepared by stir-frying and crushing [1 liang].
The above five ingredients are chopped, decocted in 1 sheng 2 he of water until reduced to 4 he, and administered orally. Bowel movement will follow. For the lower orifice, mix a small amount of Xing Ren Yan (Almond Salt) and a small amount of Zao Jia Mo (Gleditsiae Sinensis Fructus Powder) with flour to form a hard paste shaped like a jujube pit. Wrap it in cotton and insert it into the anus; once bowel movement is unobstructed, the condition resolves. The nursing mother should avoid hot wheat noodles for significant efficacy.
