疹出三日当收没，不疾不徐始无虞，收没太速毒攻内，当散不散虚热医。毒盛荆防
解毒治，外用胡荽酒法宜，虚热柴胡四物剂，应证而施病渐离。
【注】麻疹见形三日之后，当渐次没落，不疾不徐，始为无病。若一二日疹即收没，此
为太速。因调摄不谨，或为风寒所袭，或为邪秽所触，以致毒反内攻。轻则烦渴谵狂，重
则神昏闷乱，急宜内服荆防解毒汤，外用胡荽酒熏其衣被，使疹透出，方保无虞。当散
不散者，内有虚热留滞于肌表也。其证潮热烦渴，口燥咽干，切不可纯用寒凉之剂，以
柴胡四物汤治之。使血分和畅，余热悉除，疹即没矣！

After the eruption of measles, it should gradually disappear within three days. If the disappearance is neither too fast nor too slow, there will be no danger. If it disappears too quickly, the pathogenic toxin may attack internally; if it fails to disappear when it should, it is due to deficiency heat and requires treatment. When the toxin is abundant, Jingfang Jiedu Tang (Jingfang Detoxification Decoction) should be used for treatment; externally, the method of using Huisu Jiu (Coriander Wine) is appropriate. For deficiency heat, Chaihu Siwu Ji (Chaihu Four Substances Formula) should be used. Applying treatment according to the syndrome will cause the disease to gradually recede.
[Note] After the measles have manifested their form for three days, they should gradually disappear. If the process is neither too fast nor too slow, this indicates health. If the rash disappears within one or two days, this is called "too fast." This occurs due to careless nursing, invasion by wind-cold, or contact with evil filth, causing the toxin to counter-attack internally. Mild cases present with irritability, thirst, delirium, and madness; severe cases present with coma, confusion, and restlessness. Urgently administer Jingfang Jiedu Tang (Jingfang Detoxification Decoction) internally, and use Huisu Jiu (Coriander Wine) to fumigate the clothes and bedding externally, allowing the rash to emerge fully, thereby ensuring safety. The phrase "fails to disappear when it should" refers to deficiency heat lingering in the muscle layer. Symptoms include tidal fever, irritability, thirst, dry mouth, and dry throat. One must absolutely avoid using purely cold-natured agents; instead, treat with Chaihu Siwu Tang (Bupleurum Four Substances Decoction). This harmonizes the blood level and eliminates residual heat, causing the rash to disappear naturally!

Measles have erupted but the body remains hot because toxin-heat is congested and obstructed. During eruption, use Huadu Qingbiao Ji (Huadu Clearing Exterior Agent); after disappearance, use Chaihu Qingre Jian (Chaihu Clearing Heat Decoction).
[Note] Measles do not erupt without heat. If they have erupted thoroughly, the heat should subside. If high fever persists, this indicates abundant toxin congestion and obstruction; use Huadu Qingbiao Tang (Huadu Clearing Exterior Decoction) for treatment. If the body remains hot after the rash has disappeared, this indicates residual heat lingering in the muscle layer; use Chaihu Qingre Yin (Chaihu Clearing Heat Drink) for treatment.
