有人眼内长肉二条,长一寸,如线香之粗,触出于眼外,此乃祟也。虽是肝胆之火,无祟则不能长此异肉。用冰片、
黄连、甘草(各一分)、硼砂(半分),共研细末,无声为度。用人乳调少许,点肉尖上。觉眼珠火炮出,一时收入而愈。
(同上)
有人耳内忽长肉一条,手不可近,色红带紫,乃肾火滕烧于耳也。用硼砂、冰片(各一分),点之立化为水。(同上)
大如枣核,痛不可动者,以烧酒滴耳中,仰之半时,即可钳出。(《李楼怪证方》)
鼻中生红线一条,长尺许,少动之则痛欲死,人以为饮酒之病也。而余以为不然,是祟也。用硼砂、冰片(各一分)
研为末,以人乳调之,轻轻点在红线中间,忽然觉有人如将病患打一拳一般,顷刻即消,奇绝之方也。盖硼砂亦是杀祟
之物也。(《岐天师别传》)
一人忽生疮于舌上,吐出在外寸余,上结成黄靥,难以食物。人以为病在心也,心热故生此疮,此亦近理之谈,而
不知非也,有祟以凭之也。方用冰片(一分)、入在蚌口内,立化为水,乃以鹅翎敷扫其上,立刻收入其舌,便可饮食矣。
蚌乃至阴之物,以至阴攻至阴之邪,则邪自退走,况又加以冰片之辛温,逐邪不遗余力,自然手到功成也。(同上)
A person had two fleshy growths inside the eye, each about one cun long, as thick as a incense stick, protruding outside the eye. This is caused by malevolent spirits (Gui, 鬼). Although it involves Liver and Gallbladder Fire (Gan Dan Zhi Huo), without the attachment of spirits, such abnormal flesh would not grow. Use Borneolum Syntheticum (Bingpian, 冰片), Coptidis Rhizoma (Huanglian, 黄连), Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao, 甘草) (each 1 fen), and Tinkal (Pengsha, 硼砂) (0.5 fen), grind them together into a fine powder until no grinding sound is heard. Mix a small amount with human milk (Renru, 人乳) and apply it to the tip of the growth. The patient will feel the eyeball swelling out as if burning, and within a moment, it will retract and heal. (Ibid.)
Another person suddenly had a fleshy growth in the ear, which could not be touched by hand, appearing red with a purple hue. This is due to Kidney Fire (Shen Huo) steaming upward into the ear. Use Tinkal (Pengsha, 硼砂) and Borneolum Syntheticum (Bingpian, 冰片) (each 1 fen), apply locally, and it will instantly dissolve into water. (Ibid.)
If the growth is as large as a jujube pit, extremely painful and immobile, drip hot wine (Shaojiu, 烧酒) into the ear, keep the head tilted back for half an hour, and then it can be removed with forceps. (*Li Lou Guai Zheng Fang*)
A red line grew inside the nose, about one chi long; slight movement caused excruciating pain. People believed this was a disease caused by drinking alcohol. However, I believe otherwise; it is caused by malevolent spirits. Use Tinkal (Pengsha, 硼砂) and Borneolum Syntheticum (Bingpian, 冰片) (each 1 fen), grind into powder, mix with human milk (Renru, 人乳), and gently apply to the middle of the red line. Suddenly, it feels as if someone punched the patient, and within moments, the line disappears. This is a miraculous prescription. This is because Tinkal (Pengsha, 硼砂) is also a substance that expels spirits. (*Qi Tian Shi Bie Zhuan*)
A person suddenly developed a sore on the tongue, protruding over one cun outside, with a yellow crust forming on top, making eating difficult. People believed the pathology was in the Heart, generated by Heart Heat (Xin Re), which is a plausible explanation but incorrect; actually, there are spirits attaching to it. The prescription uses Borneolum Syntheticum (Bingpian, 冰片) (1 fen), placed inside a clam shell, where it instantly dissolves into water. Then, use a goose feather quill to sweep and apply it onto the tongue. The tongue immediately retracts, and normal diet can resume. Clams are substances of extreme Yin nature, used to attack pathogens of extreme Yin nature, causing the pathogens to retreat naturally. Furthermore, combined with the acrid-warm properties of Borneolum Syntheticum (Bingpian, 冰片), which exhaustively expels pathogens, success is achieved effortlessly. (Ibid.)
This is toxicity from centipedes (Wugong, 蜈蚣). Urgently extract oil from Ricini Semen (Bimazi, 蓖麻子), make it into a wick, burn it to produce smoke, and fumigate the area to cause the swelling to retract. (*Chuan Jia Shi*)
