孕妇不语非病也，间有如此者，不须服药。临产月但服保生丸、四物汤之类，产下便语
。得亦自然之理，非药之功也。医家不说与人，临月则与寻常之药，产后能语则以为医之功
，岂其功也哉！（黄帝问曰∶人有重身，九月而喑，此为何也？岐伯对曰∶胞之络脉绝也。
帝曰∶何以言之？岐伯曰∶胞络者系于肾，少阴之脉贯肾，系舌本，故不能言。帝曰∶治之
奈何？岐伯曰∶无治也，当十月复）

To treat the sound of bell-like ringing within the abdomen of a pregnant woman. Take the soil from before and after a rat's burrow, grind it into a fine powder, mix with Musk (Moschus), and administer two qian mixed with wine; the ailment will be cured immediately.
To treat carbuncles occurring during pregnancy, with immediate effect.
Xinyao (Linderae Radix, Linna): Grind. The soft, white, and fragrant variety from Hongzhou is superior.
Take one cup of water and one piece of Niu Pi Jiao (Colla Corii Asini, Gelatin from Donkey Hide), decoct together until three-tenths remain, and take warm.
A pregnant woman's inability to speak is not a disease; occasionally this occurs, and medication is unnecessary. In the month preceding delivery, simply administer drugs such as Baosheng Wan (Life-Preserving Pill) or Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction); speech will return naturally after childbirth. This follows natural principles and is not due to the efficacy of medicine. Physicians do not disclose this truth to others; they administer ordinary medicines in the final month, and when the patient can speak postpartum, they claim credit for their medical skill. Is this truly their merit? (The Yellow Emperor asked: "When a person is pregnant and becomes aphonic in the ninth month, what is the reason?" Qibo replied: "The collateral vessels of the uterus are obstructed." The Emperor asked: "Why do you say so?" Qibo said: "The collateral vessels of the uterus are connected to the Kidney. The Shaoyin (Lesser Yin) meridian passes through the Kidney and connects to the root of the tongue; therefore, speech is impaired." The Emperor asked: "How should it be treated?" Qibo said: "No treatment is needed; it will recover naturally in the tenth month.")
The Classics state: "If food intake doubles, the intestines and stomach are injured." It also states: "The generation of Yin essence originates from the Five Flavors; the five organs storing Yin are damaged by the Five Flavors." If a pregnant woman does not regulate her diet, consuming raw, cold, or toxic substances, and indulges in eating, it injures the Spleen and Stomach. Therefore, regarding food stagnation during pregnancy, it is difficult to find suitable medicine; only these two formulas are the most stable and effective.
To treat food stagnation in pregnant women.
Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix, two qian) Sanleng (Sparganii Rhizoma) Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) Baifuling (Poria, each three qian)

I have carefully examined Xiaoqixiang Wan (Little Seven Fragrances Pill, found in *Ju Fang*) and Baoqi San (Qi-Preserving Powder, found in Volume 16, Treatise 3); surely they do not possess good efficacy?
