Symptoms included epigastric fullness, limb fatigue, body numbness, progressing to jaundice of body and eyes with slight green tint, dark complexion, mental restlessness, palpitations, dizziness with urge to vomit, foul foam in mouth, slow digestion, vomiting undigested food, urinary retention with dark red-black urine, fever during Chen-Si hours (7-11 AM) resolving at dusk, worsening in April. His son sought urgent treatment.
Pulse was floating and moderate. *Jin Gui Yao Lue* states: Floating pulse at Cun indicates Wind, Moderate indicates Bi syndrome. Bi is not Wind Stroke. Limbs suffer vexation, Spleen color turns yellow, Stasis-Heat is moving. Juyang pulse tight indicates Spleen injury.

For dampness transforming into fire, heat prevails, treat with bitter-cold, drain with bitter,渗 with bland. *Zhizi* and *Yinchen* are bitter-cold to drain Damp-Heat and resolve jaundice, thus serving as Sovereign (*Jun*). *Nanjing* states: Treats epigastric fullness. *Huanglian* and *Zhishi* (note: text says Zhishi here but Zhike earlier, assuming same category) are bitter-cold to drain epigastric fullness. Lung governs Qi, heat injures Qi causing numbness, *Huangqin* is bitter-cold to drain fire and tonify Qi, thus serving as Minister (*Chen*). *Er Zhu* (both Atractylodes) are bitter-sweet-warm, *Qingpi* is bitter-acrid-warm, removing Damp-Heat in Stomach, draining stagnation, nourishing righteous Qi. *Hanfangji* is bitter-cold, removing retained dampness in twelve channels. *Zexie* is salty-neutral, *Fuling* and *Zhuming* are sweet-neutral, guiding Damp-Heat from Bladder, promoting urination, relieving retention.
