隔蒜灸法 治一切痈疽恶疮。（先宜对证服托里煎剂免致火毒内攻）
独头蒜（切片约二文钱浓）安疮头上，用艾壮灸之。若疮发势大，以蒜捣烂摊患处，将艾铺上烧之，蒜败再

寒热相搏，用艾蒜灸之，一使毒瓦斯解散，二使好肉不坏，三疮口易敛，直一举而三善备矣。（李迅曰∶痈疽者灸
胜于用药。但头上及腰旁陷中，皆当禁忌，恐以火济火，反贻害也。）
歌曰∶疡科隔蒜灸称奇，头属六阳腰属肾，传与医人莫浪施，此为禁忌总宜知。

歌曰∶紫府仙人授宝方，洗心涤虑养真汤，世间用得诸般药，万祸千灾化吉祥。
The physician examined the pulse and admonished, "If the nature of the medicine contradicts the disease, how can it achieve success?" He still ordered the patient to take one dose of Yanghe Tang (Cordyceps Decoction), after which the fetal vitality stabilized; after five doses, the pus ruptured; after ten doses, full recovery was achieved. As stated in the *Neijing* (Classic of Internal Medicine), treating a disease requires seeking its root cause. Indeed, these words are true.
Xiaoyong Huchang Tang (New Formula) treats postpartum carbuncles and sores.
Danggui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis, 1 liang), Chuanxiong (Rhizoma Chuanxiong, 5 qian), Jinyinhua (Flos Lonicerae Japonicae, 5 qian), Gongyinghua (Herba Taraxaci, 3 qian), Jingjie (Fructus Schizonepetae, 1 qian), Sheng Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata, 2 qian).
Decoct in water and drink.
Huiyang Jiuchan Tang (New Formula) treats postpartum yin abscesses.
Renshen (Radix Ginseng, 3 qian), Danggui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis, 1 liang), Chuanxiong (Rhizoma Chuanxiong, 5 qian), Jingjie (Fructus Schizonepetae, 1 qian), Shanggui (Cortex Cinnamomi, 1 qian), Yimucao (Herba Leonuri, 3 qian).
Decoct in water and drink.
Da Wenzhong Yin (Zhuang Zaitian) treats yin abscesses following smallpox. (The classics state: Smallpox is endowed with Yin but takes form through Yang, like planting beans which must rely on the harmonious Yang energy of the weather and the warmth of the ground to sprout. The smallpox on the human body is the same. When smallpox is about to erupt, it relies entirely on True Yang to support and send it forth. At this time, it is always appropriate to tonify Qi and Blood and unblock the meridians, transforming all toxic vapors into pus, leaving no residual toxins after the eruption. Smallpox physicians who do not understand this principle claim that cooling medicines can detoxify. How could they know that smallpox is Yin toxin from the fetus; it moves when it receives Yang energy and stagnates when it receives cooling medicines. Because of the cooling medicines, the toxic vapors remain stagnant between the muscles and skin, causing large abscesses to develop after smallpox, named 'Smallpox Toxin'. Most cases have unchanged skin color and should be treated with this formula. If the color is red with purple hues, treat with Jingfang Dihuang Tang. However, Yin patterns are common while Yang patterns are rare; there are no observed Yang pattern toxins after smallpox.)
Shudi (Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, 5 qian), Dongzhu (Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, 3 qian), Shanyao (Rhizoma Dioscoreae, 3 qian), Xi Dangshen (Radix Codonopsis, 3 qian), Sheng Huangqi (Radix Astragali, 2 qian), Baijiezhi (Semen Sinapis Albae, 1 qian; originally used Chaihu, but changed because its clearing and draining nature might be too harsh), Sheng Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata, 1 qian), Shanggui (Cortex Cinnamomi, 1 qian), Paojiang (Rhizoma Zingiberis Preparatum, 0.5 qian), Jing Mahuang (Herba Ephedrae, 0.5 qian).
Decoct in water and drink. (A child had his entire head ulcerated after smallpox, named 'Deficient Yang Piercing the Crown' or 'Fa Dan'. Clear pus and bloody fluid flowed for years without healing. This was due to mistakenly taking cooling medicines during smallpox, causing cold to invade the Middle Jiao, leaving Yang energy without foundation, rushing upward to the crown. It is like pouring water on a hot stove; the heat must rush upward, the principle is the same. It is suitable to alternate Da Wenzhong Yin and Dabu Yuanjian, guiding fire back to its source. Ten doses will cure. The formula for Dabu Yuanjian is not recorded here.)
Jingfang Dihuang Tang (Zhuang Zaitian) treats carbuncles and sores after smallpox. (This pattern is uncommon; the formula is provided for reference.)
Shudi (Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, 4 qian), Shanyao (Rhizoma Dioscoreae, 2 qian), Danpi (Cortex Moutan, 1 qian), Fuling (Poria, 1 qian), Shanzhuyu (Fructus Corni, 1 qian), Jingjie (Fructus Schizonepetae, 1 qian), Fangfeng (Radix Saposhnikoviae, 1 qian), Sheng Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata, 1 qian).
Decoct in water and drink.
Jiedu Zhishen Tang (New Formula) treats swelling and rotting from lacquer allergy. (Individuals with Wood constitution often suffer from this condition.)
Yuanshen (Radix Scrophulariae, 2 qian), Zhimu (Cortex Anemarrhenae, 2 qian), Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum, 2 qian), Lianqiao (Fructus Forsythiae, 2 qian), Niubangzi (Fructus Arctii, 2 qian), Dasheng (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, 2 qian), Zhiqiao (Pericarpium Aurantii, 1 qian), Chuanlian (Rhizoma Coptidis, 6 fen), Sheng Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata, 8 fen), Danzhuye (Folium Phyllostachydis Nigrae, 20 leaves).
Decoct in water and drink. Add Mangxiao if the fire intensity is severe.
Another prescription treats the same condition.
Baiguoshuye (Leaf of Ginkgo biloba) or Mangxiao decocted in water for bathing reduces swelling immediately. If, after recovery, taboos are not observed and the scar recurs, turning into stubborn leprosy or tinea, urgently use Hanlianca (Eclipta Herba, also known as Licang). Wash several times as before, and it will heal. (Avoid hot water baths and dietary restrictions are essential.)
Pohuo Tang (New Formula) treats scalds and burns.
Danggui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis, 5 qian), Danpi (Cortex Moutan, 3 qian), Shengdi (Radix Rehmanniae, 5 qian), Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae, 1 qian), Diyü (Radix Sanguisorbae, 3 qian), Huaihua (Flos Sophorae, 2 qian), Fuling (Poria, 5 qian).
Decoct in water and drink. Or crush fresh white radish to extract natural juice (child's urine may also be used) and administer orally. For severe injuries with constipation, add raw Jun (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, 5 qian). If in remote mountains where medicine is unavailable, drinking only radish juice is also effective. (Previously, Yang Yongxing of the Imperial Guard suffered a kitchen fire at night. Those who slept in that room, whether dead or dying, were given raw radish juice and recovered completely after some time. Its efficacy is such, recorded specially.)
Qutong San treats the same condition.
Diyü (Radix Sanguisorbae) ground into fine powder, mixed with sesame oil and applied to the wound. If already broken, sprinkle dry powder directly; it works miraculously. Alternatively, raw Dahuang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei) powder mixed with tung oil can be applied.
Another prescription treats the same condition.
Sheng Yapiansheng (Raw Opium Poppy, i.e., Wuyan) applied provides immediate cooling and pain relief. Someone burned by gunpowder, unresponsive to hundreds of medicines, healed using this prescription.
Shengling Dan treats bleeding from metal wounds.
Longyanhe (Seed of Dimocarpus longan, black skin removed) ground into extremely fine powder and sprinkled stops bleeding, relieves pain, and promotes wound closure; it is the first medicine for metal wounds. (Mr. Xiping said: This medicine saved many people in the Barkol camp in Western Shaanxi. According to records, Longyanhe is very effective for knife and blade wounds. Checking *Bencao Gangmu* and *Bieji Bencao*, it is not recorded. Thus, we know that useful materials in the world, lost from ancient times to the present, are countless. What a pity!)
Ermiao Gao treats the same condition. (It is also very fast for bleeding from falls or bumps, without leaving blood stasis.)
Baila (Beeswax, 1 liang), Tenghuang (Resina Flourensiae, 3 qian).
Melt in 4 liang of sesame oil and apply to the wound for immediate healing. This formula stops bleeding, relieves pain, and is effective for scalds and burns. (Also treats scraped heels.)
Yuzhen San treats wind-stroke after trauma. (This condition occurs when wind-pathogen invades the meridions through broken skin and flesh. Initially, there is alternating chills and fever, lockjaw, and in severe cases, opisthotonos and foaming at the mouth. The wound becomes dry and sunken due to internal attack of toxicity. Treat with this formula. If ineffective, administer Duoming Yin to expel wind through the bowels, offering a chance of survival.)
Nanxing (Rhizoma Pinelliae Praeparatum, stir-fried with ginger juice), Fangfeng (Radix Saposhnikoviae), Baizhi (Radix Angelicae Dahuricae), Tianchong (Sericoptera Bombysi, stir-fried until threads break).
Equal parts of the above medicines, ground into extremely fine powder. Take 3 qian per dose, mixed with child's urine and good wine. (Can also be made into a decoction, utilizing the cleansing power of liquid.) It is also effective for bruises and falls with internal blood stasis.
Duoming Yin (New Formula) treats the same condition.
Danggui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis, 2 qian), Baizhi (Radix Angelicae Dahuricae, 2 qian), Jiangcan (Sericoptera Bombysi, 2 qian, stir-fried), Tianma (Rhizoma Gastrodiae, 2 qian), Chantui (Periostracum Cicadae, 2 qian), Dahuang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, 5 qian), Taoren (Semen Persicae, 20 grains), Qianghuo (Rhizoma et Radix Notopterygii, 2 qian), Fangfeng (Radix Saposhnikoviae, 1 qian), Nanxing (Rhizoma Pinelliae Praeparatum, 1.5 qian, processed), Mahuang (Herba Ephedrae, 0.5 qian).
Decoct in water and drink. Severe cases recover in five doses. (If not cured, remove Dahuang and continue taking.) Cover externally with Qinghe Gao.
Diyu Baidu San (Shen Yu Cang) treats rabies toxin. (Rabies generally appears after Jingzhe when snakes and insects emerge from holes, and subsides after Shuangjiang when they enter. They exhale upon exiting and inhale upon entering; their toxic vapors remain at the hole entrance. Dogs love to sniff this toxin, inhaling it through nose and mouth, leading to madness. Named 'Mad Dog', symptoms include stiff neck, lowered head, drooping ears, twitching tail, walking straight forward without looking back. If humans touch this toxin, it manifests in 7 days if acute, or up to 100 days if chronic. Sudden heart and abdominal pain, confusion, extreme pain, biting own muscles or even porcelain and clothes out of boredom, a miserable sight hard to describe. To distinguish this condition, wave a palm-leaf fan heavily towards the patient; shrinking and trembling in fear upon seeing wind, or being startled by gongs, are confirmatory signs.)
Xi Dangshen (Radix Codonopsis, 3 qian), Qianghuo (Rhizoma et Radix Notopterygii, 3 qian), Duhuo (Radix Angelicae Pubescentis, 3 qian), Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri, 3 qian), Qianhu (Radix Peucedani, 3 qian), Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae, 3 qian), Fuling (Poria, 3 qian), Zhiqiao (Pericarpium Aurantii, 2 qian, stir-fried), Fukxiong (Rhizoma Chuanxiong, 2 qian), Jiegeng (Radix Platycodonis, 2 qian), Sheng Diyu (Radix Sanguisorbae, 1 liang), Zi Zhu Gen (Radix Bambusae, one handful), Shengjiang (Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens, 3 slices).
Decoct in water and drink. (In winter of Bingwu year of Daoguang era, passing through Xiangtan, I saw a rice boat crew member suffering from heart-wrenching pain, restlessness wanting to die, unresponsive to hundreds of medicines, and doctors did not recognize the disease. A passenger from Liling on the same ship waved a palm-leaf fan towards the patient and shouted: Dangerous! This is slight onset of rabies, a fatal condition. Quickly prepare Diyu Baidu San in large dosage and strong decoction. If jaw is locked, rub with sour plum meat to open, then urgently administer one dose. Consciousness cleared after one dose, illness disappeared after two doses. This eyewitness experience.)
(According to the Liling passenger: Whenever encountering a mad dog without time to avoid, or bitten/torn clothing resulting in toxin inhalation, feeling fear of wind, administer one dose within seven days. If the patient has red hair on the head, pluck it out. By the second seven days, chew raw soybeans. If a fishy taste is felt in the mouth and nausea arises, the toxin is clean, no need to continue taking; otherwise, residual toxin remains, urgently administer another dose. By the third seven days, test again with soybeans. Continue taking up to three doses until residual toxin is transformed into pus and blood and expelled through bowels, ensuring permanent safety. Pregnant women can also take it.)
Kuaijie Fang treats the same condition.
Wannianqing (Perennial plant often grown in flower pots, broad leaves about 1-2 cun, height about 8-9 cun, old and thick ones are best). Crush roots and leaves to extract juice, drink 1-2 bowls. Toxin in abdomen forms blood clots and is expelled through bowels. Effective regardless of duration, no taboos, also an immortal formula. (Commonly believed to produce puppies, this is nonsense and not credible.)
Qudu San treats snake bites.
Baizhi (Radix Angelicae Dahuricae, 5 qian), Maidong (Radix Ophiopogonis, 1 liang, heart removed).
Decoct in water and drink. Apply residue to wound; even near-death patients can be revived. This is the first formula for snake bites. (Neighbor Ding Quanling was bitten by a venomous snake, arm swollen like a thigh, body bloated yellow-black shortly after, nearing death. Decocted according to this formula and administered, heard sounds in abdomen, foul water flowed from wound, swelling subsided, consciousness cleared, fully recovered next day. I recorded this, often verified in treating snake bites.)
Baishun Gao (New Formula) treats carbuncles, furuncles, back sores, and all nameless swellings. Reduces early stage, heals ruptured stage, and miraculous for stubborn malignant boils. Truly a treasure of surgery.
Da Xama (Two large toads, preferably those with abundant dried secretion), Mumufurongye (Leaf of Hibiscus mutabilis, 3 liang, collected on Double Ninth Festival, root bark or flowers are also excellent).
Boil in 1 jin of sesame oil until herbs are burnt, filter dregs. Weigh oil accurately. For every 2 liang of medicinal oil, add 1 liang of stir-fried Qianfen (Lead Carbonate). Stir evenly with mulberry branch, boil until dropping a drop into water forms a pill that does not stick to fingers. (Note: *Bielu* mentions 'dropping into water forms a bead', do not adhere strictly as a fixed rule, fearing the ointment becomes too old.) Pour into water to remove fire nature. For stubborn rotten sores, wash with green onion and pepper soup before applying; it extracts pus well, relieves pain, and promotes tissue growth. This is my unique secret, 100% effective, hence named Baishun. (After recovery, vowed to stop eating toads and distributed books promoting goodness to compensate for life taken, thus not betraying hidden virtue. Zhen'an noted again.)
Qinghe Gao (New Formula) treats carbuncles, furuncles, back sores, and toxins from Yin-Yang disharmony. Early stage activates blood, relieves pain, dissipates stasis, reduces swelling. After rupture, extracts pus, removes decay, generates muscle, grows flesh. Truly a secret formula of surgery.

Boil in 2 jin of sesame oil until burnt. Filter dregs, boil oil again, slowly add Chao Fei Huangdan (Calcined Yellow Lead Oxide, 1 jin) or Qianfen. (Note: *Bielu* says add Huangdan only when 'dropping forms a bead', this is incorrect. Corrected here based on Xu Meijun's method.) Stir with mulberry branch until dropping a drop into water forms a non-sticky pill. Pour into water to remove fire nature. Spread for use.
Lingying Gao (New Formula) treats carbuncles, furuncles, back sores, and all ulcerating sores. Promotes flesh generation, tissue regeneration, and wound closure. Truly a wonderful medicine of surgery.

Boil Elephant Skin, Pangolin Scales, Male Hair, and Niubangcao in 2 jin of sesame oil until burnt. Filter dregs, weigh oil accurately. For every 1 jin of medicinal oil, add 8 liang of Chao Fei Huangdan. Stir evenly, boil until dropping a drop into water forms a non-sticky pill. Remove from fire, add Xuexie, Ercha, Yunxiang powders, stir evenly. Pour into water to remove fire nature. Warm over double boiler and spread before use.
Zijin Gao (New Formula) treats carbuncles, furuncles, back sores, severe opposite-to-mouth toxins, unbearable ulceration, exposing inner membrane. (If pus flows like crab foam, the membrane is broken; untreatable.) Use this to fill the wound cavity, extracting toxin, removing necrotic tissue, and closing the wound. Truly an important medicine of surgery.
Danggui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis, 2 liang), Baizhi (Radix Angelicae Dahuricae, 5 qian), Laixama (Toad, one, do not use if eyes are red and belly lacks eight-character pattern), Niubangcao (Stem, leaf, root of Arctium lappa, 3 units).
Soak in 1 jin of sesame oil for five days. Slowly boil in copper spoon until herbs are burnt. Strain dregs, boil oil again. Add Baila (Beeswax, 2 liang) to melt. Then add Xuexie (Sanguis Draconis, 4 qian, powdered), stir evenly. Remove from fire when half cool. Add Baijiaoxiang (Boswellia Resin, 4 qian, de-oiled and powdered), stir into paste. Store in porcelain. Soak in water for three days to remove fire nature. The older, the better. For deep wounds, dip new cotton wadding in this ointment and pack the wound. (Continue taking internal medicines to tonify Qi and Blood.)
Garlic-Separated Moxibustion treats all carbuncles, furuncles, and malignant sores. (First, take appropriate Tuli decoction to prevent fire-toxin from attacking internally.)
Place a slice of Dutou Suan (Single-clove Garlic, thickness approx. 2 wen coins) on the sore. Apply moxa cone and burn. If inflammation is severe, crush garlic and spread on affected area, place moxa on top and burn. Replace garlic when burnt. Do not count the number of cones. Always moxa painful areas until pain ceases, and painless areas until pain arises. All carbuncles and sores are caused by cold pathogen lodging in meridians, blocking Ying and Wei circulation, leading to struggle between cold and heat. Using moxa and garlic disperses toxin, protects healthy flesh, and facilitates wound closure. One action achieves three benefits. (Li Xun said: For carbuncles and furuncles, moxibustion is superior to medicine. But head and waist depression areas are contraindicated, fearing adding fire to fire causes harm.)
Song:
Garlic-separated moxibustion in surgery is miraculous,
Head belongs to Six Yang, Waist belongs to Kidney.
Pass to physicians, do not apply rashly,
Know these contraindications thoroughly.

Strictly avoid daggers in smiles, arrows in the dark, and storms on flat ground. (Spring of Bingzi year of Guangxu era, I went to Hangzhou to gather herbs, rested at Xiling Road pavilion, saw a posted effective formula claiming origin from Huaren Fu, Quanren County, Mount Sumeru gathering, in the *Tripitaka*. It treats all diseases of temperament. Regrettably characters were missing, so I filled gaps with my own meaning, attached to end of volume, respecting ancestors' compassionate hearts to benefit the infinite. Readers of this formula later, how much more should you enjoy doing good? This is my earnest hope. Zhen'an respectfully noted.)
Song:
Immortal of Purple Mansion bestowed precious formula,
Washing heart and purging thoughts nourishes true soup.
Using various medicines in the world,
Ten thousand disasters transform into auspiciousness.
