薛立斋治一产妇，乍见鬼神。或用调经散益甚，痰涎上涌，朝寒暮热。乃朝用八珍散，夕用加味归脾汤，
各五十余剂而愈。
盛用敬治金棠妻，半产，病数月，日厥者数次，见鬼自顶而出，自口而入。或曰∶脉涩而弦，血少有痰，
鬼自顶门出，此元神出也。出而不进者死，出而复入可活也。药之，去痰碗许，寻愈。（《吴江县志》。用敬，
即启东之孙。）
按∶半产亦多气血两亏，与正产同治。
陈良甫治五羊洪运使天锡子舍孺人，产后语言颠倒，言语不已，如有神灵，服诸药无效。召诊之，六脉和
平，以夺命散两服而愈。
沈尧封曰∶产后发狂谵语，恶露不来者，是血瘀，宜无极丸。恶露仍通者，是痰迷，宜六神汤∶半夏曲、
橘红、胆星、石菖蒲、茯神、旋复花各一钱，水煎服。一成衣妇，产后半月余，发狂，打骂不休，其夫锁之磨
上，余附无极丸六钱，分两服酒下，服毕即愈。越四五日后发，又与六服，后不复发。一丁姓妇，产后神昏，
谵语如狂，恶露仍通，赤不过多，医者议攻议补不一。金尚陶前辈后至，诊毕曰∶待我用一平淡药，吃下去看。
遂疏六神汤方，一剂神气清，四剂霍然。甲戍春，钱香梅如君产后，微热痞闷，时时谵语，恶露不断，用理血
药不应，改用六神汤四剂，病去如失。
产后喜笑不休，一老妪云∶乃产后被侍者挟落腰子使然。用乌梅肉二个，煎汤服立效，嘉兴钱邻哉曾目睹之。
Dr. Xue Lizhai treated a postpartum woman who suddenly saw ghosts and gods. After using Tiaojing San (Regulate Menses Powder), her condition worsened, with phlegm-saliva surging upward and experiencing chills in the morning and fever in the evening. Therefore, he prescribed Bazhen San (Eight-Treasure Powder) in the morning and Jiawei Guipi Tang (Modified Spleen-Restoring Decoction) in the evening. She recovered after taking each prescription for more than fifty doses.
Sheng Yongjing treated the wife of Jin Tang, who suffered from spontaneous abortion (half-birth) and had been ill for several months. She experienced fainting several times a day, feeling as if ghosts were exiting through the top of her head and entering through her mouth. Someone said: "The pulse is choppy and wiry, indicating blood deficiency with phlegm. The ghost exiting from the crown indicates the departure of the Yuan Shen (Original Spirit). If it does not return, death ensues; if it returns, survival is possible." Medication was administered, expelling about a bowl of phlegm, and she soon recovered. (From *Wujiang County Annals*. Yongjing is the grandson of Qidong.)
Note: Spontaneous abortion also often results in dual deficiency of Qi and Blood, and should be treated similarly to normal childbirth.
Chen Liangfu treated the son-in-law of Hong Yunshi Tianxi of Wuyang, who, after childbirth, spoke incoherently and incessantly, appearing possessed by spirits. Various medicines proved ineffective. Upon examination, his six pulses were harmonious and peaceful. He recovered after two doses of Duoming San (Life-Rescuing Powder).
Shen Yaofeng stated: Postpartum mania and delirium without lochia discharge indicates Blood Stasis, suitable for Wuji Wan (Limitless Pill). If lochia continues to flow, it indicates Phlegm Confusion, suitable for Liushen Tang (Six-Spirit Decoction): Banxia Qu (Prepared Pinellia Fermented), Juhong (Tangerine Peel), Danning (Fried Pinellia with Calculus Bovis), Shichangpu (Acorus Rhizome), Fushen (Poria with Pine Root), and Xuanfuhua (Inula Flower), each one qian, decocted in water and taken orally. A tailor's wife, more than half a month postpartum, became manic, beating and scolding incessantly. Her husband locked her on a millstone. I prescribed Wuji Wan, six qian, divided into two doses taken with wine. She recovered immediately after finishing the dose. Four or five days later, it recurred; another six doses were given, and it did not recur again. Another surnamed Ding woman, postpartum, suffered from unconsciousness and delirium resembling mania, with lochia still flowing but not excessive in amount. Physicians debated whether to purge or tonify. Senior Scholar Jin Shangtao arrived later, examined the patient, and said: "Let me use a mild medicine, and we shall see." He then prescribed Liushen Tang. After one dose, her spirit cleared; after four doses, she recovered completely. In the spring of the Ji Xu year, Lady Qian Xiangmei, postpartum, had slight fever and chest stuffiness, with occasional delirium and continuous lochia. Blood-regulating medicines were ineffective. Switching to Liushen Tang for four doses resulted in complete recovery.
Postpartum uncontrollable laughter: An old woman claimed this was caused by a servant dislocating the waist during postpartum care. Using two meat portions of Wumei (Mume Fruit), decocted in water and taken orally, yielded immediate effect. This was witnessed by Qian Linzai of Jiaxing.
