A slippery and rapid pulse indicates vomiting. A choppy or intermittent pulse (Dai Mai) indicates Huoluan (Cholera-like disease with sudden vomiting and diarrhea). A slightly slippery pulse suggests a favorable prognosis (survival). A choppy and rapid pulse indicates an ominous prognosis (death).
Vomiting refers to food entering the stomach but being regurgitated backward. Vomitus without sound is called Yue (dry heaving). Regurgitation of matter without sound is called Tu (vomiting). When both sound and matter are present, it is referred to as Ou Tu (vomiting).
This condition arises from damage to Stomach Qi and insufficiency of Middle Qi. It may be caused by external contraction of Cold pathogenic factors, internal injury from diet, or rebellion of Qi. These three types can all be treated with modifications of Huoxiang Zhengqi San (Agastache Powder to Rectify the Qi). If there is Heat in the Stomach, Qingwei Baozhong Tang (Stomach-Clearing and Middle-Protecting Decoction) is used. If there is Cold in the Stomach, Fuzi Lizhong Tang (Aconite Pill to Regulate the Middle) is used. If there is vomiting or dry heaving with phlegm-fluids, Jiajian Erchen Tang (Modified Two-Aged Phlegm Decoction) is used. If there is retention of cold fluids in the Stomach, Fuling Banxia Tang (Poria and Pinellia Decoction) is used. If the Stomach is deficient due to prolonged illness, Bihe Yin (Harmonizing Drink) is used. The physician should carefully examine the syndrome before treating.

Seventeenth discussion: Dryness and constipation of the Large Intestine, unstopping vomiting, inability to take decoctions. This symptom is common in the elderly and the weak. The pylorus is blocked, Qi rebels upward through the opening, causing vomiting and fullness. The method requires first using Honey Suppository Decoction (Midao Jian) to unblock the pylorus, then administer medicine. Because the Qi of the human body circulates up and down; if the lower part is not unblocked, the upper part must be vented, just like the vomiting method mentioned earlier. If the upper part is unsettled, the lower part must be cleared.

Use Fuzi Lizhong Tang (Aconite Pill to Regulate the Middle) for one dose; the condition worsens. If the pulse is floating and large but fine upon pressure, use Shenfu Tang (Ginseng and Aconite Decoction) for one dose, and the patient recovers.
Nineteenth discussion: Yin deficiency in the lower jiao causing frequent vomiting. This is due to Yang Qi floating upwards without foundation, leading to vomiting, coughing, and wheezing. Take Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia), delivered with salt water.
Twentieth treatment: Vomiting and anorexia, abdominal pain with tenesmus. The patient self-administered Dahuang (Rhubarb) etc., one dose, resulting in worsened abdominal pain, spontaneous sweating, fever, confusion, and a large pulse. I administered Panacis Ginseng Radix (Renshen) and Atractylodis Rhizoma (Baizhu) each one liang, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao) honey-fried and Zingiberis Rhizoma (Jiang) baked each three qian, Cimicifugae Rhizoma (Shengma) one qian, decocted in water.
