Treatment for latent summerheat, presenting with bloody stool resembling chronic dysentery. In the second year of Chongning (1103 AD), while serving as the Director of Transportation after being transferred from the Temple of Grand Sacrifices, I suffered from dysentery from summer through autumn for two months, defecating thirty to forty times a day and night. However, the blood was profuse while the white mucus was scant. Famous physicians all diagnosed this as dysentery. Hearing that Li Zhonghe, an Assistant Instructor from Qingyang Town in Sizhou, was skilled in medicine, I sent for him. Upon examining my pulse, Li immediately stated, "This is not dysentery." Initially, I was very angry, but upon further inquiry, Li said, "Profuse blood with scant white mucus, combined with scanty and difficult urination, indicates it is not dysentery." His words accurately described my condition, and I was convinced and amazed. This illness originated from latent summerheat; the abnormal transfer of urine into the large intestine passed through the Heart Meridian, transforming into blood, which was discharged via both bowel movements and urination. Thus, the symptoms resembled dysentery but were not. Healing would occur once urination and defecation returned to their respective normal pathways.

The above herbs are cut into pieces the size of rice grains or ground into fine powder. When cutting, weigh out 3 qian per dose, add one *zhan* of water, decoct until reduced to 7/10, and take warm. If taking the fine powder, each dose should be appropriate. After administration, peace is restored, hence recorded for long-term transmission.
