生石膏每剂用二三两，黄芩每剂用五六钱，此二味终不可
少，不怕寒凉过度。手足指尖不到，勿论回者误降者，须更用笋鞭芽十个，荷鼻五个，可同煎服。脾病困倦，
昏沉多卧，口乃脾窍，故口燥唇干不食，是亦胃火不清之故，肺病则嗽，一切鼻
煤、鼻煽、鼻干、鼻疮、呕吐，皆胃火也。至若眼红涩是肝病，须伐木清金，兼去风胆病，多烦而不眠，重
用石膏，即四五两一帖亦不妨。若喘息，生芩作主，石膏次之。力子桑皮葶兜铃，知
桔苏麻与条芩，天冬杏贝生石膏，引加芦根与茅根。
猪泻车前栀木通，滑石芩柏石地冬，
石苇一金麦葶苈，通草顺引膀胱中。
大黄复花翘桔梗，枳荷力子连条芩，
银花槐栀栝蒌杏，荆芥升麻与苦参。
凉大肠利小便，盖小便愈长则大便愈结，然亦不可强止。《经》云∶毒以利泄，若利止则不能出而腹痛也。
干桔升荷枳木通，石蒲芩连胡天冬，
知母豆根苓槐骨，滑石人中柏杏仁。
《经》曰∶胃火抑郁，肺火上冲而为逆重，用生石膏、生黄芩。次之又方∶
柴前蝉桔曲二冬，茯苓石膏芩蒌仁。
甘桔复花前玄参，射干荆防枳豆根，
冬花芩薄生大黄，蒌仁木通与苦参。
Sheng Shigao (Raw Gypsum Fibrosum) is used in doses of two to three taels per prescription, and Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) in doses of five to six qian per prescription. These two herbs are indispensable; one need not fear excessive coldness. If the fingertips of the hands and feet are cold (Yang qi failing to reach the extremities), regardless of whether it is a misjudgment during the recovery phase or a reversal syndrome due to pathogen descent, ten Sunbianya (Bamboo Shoot Tip) and five Henabi (Lotus Nasal Part) must be added and decocted together for administration. Spleen disease causes fatigue, lethargy, and excessive sleepiness. The mouth is the external orifice of the spleen; therefore, dry mouth, dry lips, and anorexia are also caused by unclear Stomach fire. Lung disease causes coughing. Conditions such as black soot in the nostrils, flaring of the nostrils during breathing, dry nostrils, nasal ulcers, and vomiting are all attributed to Stomach fire. Redness and grittiness of the eyes indicate Liver disease, requiring the method of subduing Wood and clearing Metal (clearing Liver and purging Lung) along with dispelling wind. Gallbladder disease often presents with irritability and insomnia; heavy use of Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum), even four to five taels per dose, is acceptable. If wheezing occurs, Sheng Huangqin (Raw Scutellariae Radix) serves as the principal herb, with Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum) as the secondary herb.
