〔薛〕治痢之法，当参前篇。其下黄水，乃脾土亏损，真色下陷也，当升补中气。若
黄而兼青，乃肝木克脾土，宜平肝补脾。若黄而兼白，乃子令母虚，须补脾胃。若黄而
兼黑，是水反侮土矣，必温补脾胃。若黄而兼赤，乃心母益子，但补中益气。若肠胃虚
弱，风邪客之，用胃风汤，或胎气不安，急补脾胃而自安矣。凡安胎之药，当临病制宜，
不必拘用阿胶、艾叶之类。地官胡成甫之内，妊娠久痢，自用消导理气之剂，腹内重
坠，胎气不安，又用阿胶、艾叶之类不应。余曰∶腹重坠，下元气虚也。胎动不安，内热
盛也。遂用补中益气汤而安，又用六君子汤全愈。壶仙翁治汤总兵夫人妊娠病痢不止。
翁诊其脉，虚而滑，两关若涩，此由胎气不和，相火炎上而有热，似痢实非也。乃用黄
芩、白术以安胎，四物、生地黄以调血，数剂而安。当归芍药汤 治妊娠下痢腹痛。（即当
归芍药散，见前心腹痛。）

[Xue] The method for treating dysentery should refer to the previous chapter. If yellow watery stool is discharged, this indicates a deficiency of Spleen Earth with the true color sinking downward; it is necessary to raise and tonify Middle Qi. If the yellow color is accompanied by green, this indicates Liver Wood overacting on Spleen Earth; it is appropriate to soothe the Liver and tonify the Spleen. If the yellow color is accompanied by white, this represents the "child disease affecting the mother" leading to maternal deficiency; it is essential to tonify the Spleen and Stomach. If the yellow color is accompanied by black, this signifies Water counter-acting and insulting Earth (Water pathogen invading Spleen Earth); it is mandatory to warm and tonify the Spleen and Stomach. If the yellow color is accompanied by red, this indicates Heart Fire generating Spleen Earth (heat pathogen affecting the middle); one need only tonify Middle Qi. If the Intestines and Stomach are weak and Wind Evil resides within, use Weifeng Tang (Stomach Wind Decoction). Or, if fetal qi is unsettled, urgently tonifying the Spleen and Stomach will naturally stabilize the fetus. All herbs for calming the fetus should be adapted to the specific condition; one should not rigidly rely on herbs such as Ejiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin) or Aye (Mugwort Leaf). The wife of Hu Chengfu, an official of the Ministry of Works, suffered from chronic dysentery during pregnancy. She self-administered digestive and qi-regulating agents, resulting in a sensation of heaviness and bearing-down in the abdomen and unsettled fetal qi. Subsequently, she took Ejiao and Aye without effect. I stated: Abdominal heaviness and bearing-down indicate deficiency of Lower Yuan Qi; unsettled fetal movement indicates excessive internal heat. Therefore, I used Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) to stabilize the fetus, followed by Liujunzi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction) for complete recovery. Huxianweng treated the夫人 (Madam) of Commander Tang for persistent dysentery during pregnancy. Huxianweng palpated her pulse: it was deficient and slippery, with the pulses at both Guan positions appearing choppy. This was due to disharmony of fetal qi, with Ministerial Fire flaring upward causing heat; it appeared to be dysentery but was not truly so. He used Huangqin (Scutellaria Root) and Baizhu (Atractylodes Rhizome) to calm the fetus, and Siwu Tang (Four Substance Decoction) combined with Shengdihuang (Rehmannia Root) to regulate blood. After several doses, the fetus stabilized. Danggui Shaoyao Tang (Angelica and Peony Decoction) treats abdominal pain with dysentery during pregnancy. (This is equivalent to Danggui Shaoyao San [Angelica and Peony Powder], see the section on Heart and Abdominal Pain earlier.)
