If the smallpox lesions turn purple and black due to contact, accompanied by sudden panting and urgency, one should urgently seek dried loofah peel (harvested before tendons form, dried, and only the peel and stem used as powder). Mix the powder with honey and apply locally, combined with Gancao Dihuang Decoction. After one dose, the lesions will rise again. If irritability is present, grind rhinoceros horn for decoction. This applies to the fourth or fifth day of contact-induced changes; treatment should proceed thus. If the disease reaches the seventh or eighth day and the lesions become empty shells upon contact, death is inevitable. If contact occurs when pus is half-formed, palpation reveals a mushy consistency.
If smallpox lesions turn grayish-white due to contact, with unbearable itching, use Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) and Mian Huangqi (Astragali Radix), where greater dosage yields better efficacy. If the lesion base is red and the areola converges, this method is effective. If there is no root-like network surrounding it, it indicates a fatal condition.
When smallpox is in its vigorous stage, just beginning to crust over, coinciding with menstruation, lack of hygiene precautions causes lesions to ulcerate and change abnormally. Honghua (Carthami Flos) is boiled into a decoction without separating branches and leaves; the tender tips' decoction is taken with wine. Boiling water from roots and branches is used for bathing the patient, restoring normalcy quickly regardless of menstrual blood staining the bed.
Contact with musk causes unbearable itching, with black scabs forming on the lesion centers. Urgently decoct Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma) and Cang'er Cao (Xanthii Fructus) for slow bathing to restore the lesions' brightness. Internally, use formulas to support the interior and boost Yuan Qi (Primary Qi), combining Shengdi (Rehmanniae Radix), Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Chantui (Cicadae Periostracum), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Renshen (Ginseng Radix), Chidou (Phaseoli Semen Rubrum), Honghua (Carthami Flos), Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix), and Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix).
Contact with corpse qi causes eye deviation, sinking of lesions, and increased foaming vomit. Quickly burn Wan sui (Coriandri Fructus), Zao (Jujubae Fructus), and Ai Ye (Artemisiae Argyi Folium) in a tube, avoiding direct alignment with sacred spaces. Externally, boil Wan sui with ginger vinegar and Sha Ren (Amomi Fructus Rotundus), drinking frequently to eliminate evil and restore health.
Invasion by Ke Wu (Hostile Qi) resembles fright, with incessant crying and cyanotic face. Harvest dew-covered, fine-knotted, flowering loofah, steam dry, and powder it. Administer mixed with honey according to age and severity. At this time, do not despise loofah; an inch of loofah is worth an inch of gold.
On the fifth or sixth day, when pus formation is active, sudden fright from cats or dogs halts progress. The ancients devised Wulong San (Black Dragon Powder), consisting of equal parts Yuanzhi (Polygalae Radix) and Changpu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma). Add Chantui (Cicadae Periostracum) boiled in wine, remove Yuanzhi and Changpu, keep only Chantui powdered finely, mix with rock sugar, and take with wine held in the mouth.
