Xue Lizhai treated a child with pain in the testicles, red and scanty urine (dysuria), alternating chills and fever, and vomiting. This was identified as a syndrome involving both the Liver and Spleen. He prescribed Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) with added Gardenia Fruit (Shanzhi), Plantago Seed (Cheqianzi), and Poria (Fuling), resulting in a cure.

Another child presented with swollen and hard testicles and yellow, scanty urine. Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) with added Gardenia Fruit (Shanzhi) and Plantago Seed (Cheqianzi), along with Lu Hui Wan (Aloe Pill), was used to resolve the swelling.

Wan Mizhai treated the son of Vice-Intendant Liang for hernia disease. The right testicle was swollen as large as a chicken egg, approximately five cun long, with collateral vessels extending downwards to the scrotum, causing hardness and severe pain. Urination and defecation were obstructed. He prescribed Angelica Root (Danggui), Ligusticum Rhizome (Chuanxiong), Aucklandia Root (Muxiang), Green Tangerine Peel (Qingpi), Gardenia Kernel (Shanzhiren), Hawthorn Fruit (Shanzhazhi), Fennel Seed (Xiaohuixiang), Sichuan Chinaberry Fruit (Chuanlianzi), and Alisma Rhizome (Zexie). After two doses, the condition stabilized.

Another child suffered from intestinal abscess (i.e., small intestine hernia). Using a formula from *Zhuzheng Bianyi* (Differentiation of Various Symptoms), Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) with added Sichuan Chinaberry Fruit (Chuanlianzi) and Fennel Seed (Xiaohuixeng), plus a pinch of salt, proved miraculous.

Zhang Zihe treated the twelve-year-old son of Scholar Huo, who had unilateral testicular swelling. Zhang observed and stated: "This is caused by fright and alarm." Fright-induced illness, if it moves upward, causes hematemesis; if it moves downward, it damages the Kidney leading to edema. He used Hu Po Wan (Amber Pill) and Tong Jing San (Unblocking Collaterals Powder), achieving resolution through purgation in one instance.

Gao Cunzhi's young son suffered from internal injury, presenting with blood in both stool and urine. Other physicians aggressively used Red Sage Root (Honghua) and Peach Kernel (Taoren) to invigorate blood and remove stasis, worsening the condition. Zhongchun remarked: "Peach Kernel and similar herbs are for resolving stasis. If blood is already moving, why further injure the body? Injury requires tonification." He prescribed Rehmannia Root (Shengdi, 4 qian), Dipsacus Root (Xuduan), Eucommia Bark (Duzhong), and Achyranthes Root (Niuxi) decocted together. The condition slightly improved, but abdominal pain persisted. Zhongchun cited the *Neijing*: "When strong, Qi flows and recovery occurs; when weak, stagnation leads to disease." He added Ginseng Root (Renshen, 2 qian), resulting in a cure after one dose. (From *Guang Biji*.)

Tang treated the son of Vice-Marshal Zheng, who had suffered from head-shaking for seven years and hematochezia for three years, having taken over a hundred prescriptions. Previous treatments for head-shaking relied solely on wind-dispelling herbs, and those for bleeding targeted intestinal wind, all without effect. Upon examination, the root and branch were unclear. Reflecting later, he concluded it was due to excessive Liver Blood with external Wind-Heat invading. (While attributing it to Liver disease is correct, attributing it to excessive blood and external wind-heat invasion is debatable.) The Liver belongs to Wood; when excessive, it overacts on Spleen Earth. Since Spleen and Lung are in a mother-son relationship, both are subdued by the Liver, causing blood to rupture into the large intestine, leading to persistent hematochezia. Thus, he formulated a prescription aimed at subduing the Liver, dispelling wind, and tonifying the Spleen. Initially a tentative approach, only a few doses resulted in a cure. Ten days later, bleeding stopped, but white pus was discharged, after which the patient recovered. The formula consisted of Rhinoceros Horn (Xijiao) and Licorice Root (Gancao), each 1 qian; Trichosanthes Fruit (Gualou), half liang; Snake Slough (Shetui), roasted, 1 qian; Saposhnikovia Root (Fangfeng), 5 qian; Uncaria Ramulus cum Uncis (Gouteng), 1 qian; Ephedra Stem (Mahuang), nodes removed, 1 qian; Roasted Licorice Root (Zhi Gancao), half liang; Notopterygium Rhizome and Root (Qianghuo) and White Peony Root (Baishao), each half liang. These were powdered and formed into pills with jujube flesh, taken after meals with Mint Decoction. Only two doses were effective; head-shaking ceased immediately, and hematochezia resolved subsequently. Thereafter, Kai Wei Feng Tang (Stomach-Opening Wind-Dispelling Decoction) was administered, completely eliminating the disease within several days. It was also effective for the son of Secretary Shen.

Jiang Zhongfang treated the granddaughter of Zhou Zhongjie, aged seven or eight, with persistent hematochezia. Treatments using Coptis Rhizome (Huanglian) and Rhinoceros Horn (Xijiao), or Ginseng Root (Renshen) and Donkey-hide Gelatin (Ejiao), were ineffective. Pulse diagnosis revealed a deep and tight pulse at the Qi Kou position. Administration of Agarwood Powder (Chenxiang Mo) in three doses stopped the bleeding. When asked for the rationale, he replied: "People only know that Spleen deficiency fails to control blood, but do not realize that dietary injury to the Spleen also impairs its ability to control blood. Now, using digestive and guiding agents removes food stagnation, restoring Spleen Qi, which naturally controls the blood. How could it not heal?" The powder used was simply Agarwood Powder (Chenxiang Mo).
