小儿便中下寸白虫，或蜉蛔之虫，或吐出长短之虫，种种不一，人以为湿热之
虫也，谁知是脾胃之伤乎。小儿最喜食生冷之物，自然湿热无疑。然而脾胃气健，
虽有湿热，自易分消。惟是脾胃之气伤，则难于运化，不生津液而生虫矣。倘徒治
虫而不补其脾胃，则脾气不能消，胃气不能化，虫且安居无恙矣，夫何益哉。惟补
其脾胃之气，则气旺而自能治虫，再佐以杀虫之药，虫将何隙以逃生乎。此治之法，
必须补中用攻也。方用治虫丹∶
白术（三钱） 茯苓（三钱） 百部（一钱） 槟榔（五分） 使君子（十个） 枳壳（五钱）
白芍（三钱） 甘草（三分） 白薇（二钱） 黄连（二分） 半夏（五分） 水煎服。二剂而虫尽
化为水矣。但服药之后，务须忌饮汤水茶茗。
此方杀虫之药虽多，然入之健脾平肝之剂内，则正气无伤，而虫又杀尽，乃两得之道也。
小儿有粪门边拖出长虫，不肯便下，又不肯进入直肠之内，不痛不痒，人以为
虫口咬住也，谁知乃祟凭之乎。夫虫口咬住，必然作痛。今安然如故，岂虫口之自
咬耶。虫既不咬，宜随粪而俱下。今不下而留半截于中，非祟凭而何。病既祟凭，
宜非药物可治，然而人有一念之悔心，医即有一种之治法。使人苟迁善而求医无术，
又何以见吾道之大哉。况父母未有不爱其子者，见其子生虫之异，未必不疑自身之
谴尤，而畏鬼神之作祟，或告天而代为请祷，或信佛而自诉祈求。然而医无以应之，
不几阻人改过之门乎。铎得异人之传，用药外点虫身，则立刻化为水。方名点虬丹∶
水银（一钱） 冰片（一钱） 硼砂（一分） 雄黄（三分） 樟脑（一钱） 轻粉（三分）
白芷（一钱） 薄荷叶（三分） 各研绝细末，以不见水银星为度。水调少许，点虫头或
身上，少刻即尽化为水。但点药之时，必虔拜上天，然后点之则验。否则，或验或不
验也。不须内服煎药，至奇之方也。
余恐负异人之传，故罄书之辨证论后。异人者，余游南岳所逢道士，自号雷公，
状貌殊异。传铎《活人录》，奇方最多，此方其一也。
In children, tapeworm segments (Taeniasis) may be passed in the stool, or roundworms (Ascaris lumbricoides), or worms of varying lengths may be vomited up, presenting various inconsistencies. People attribute this to worms generated by damp-heat (Shi-Re), yet who would know that it is actually due to injury of the Spleen and Stomach? Children most enjoy eating raw and cold foods, which naturally leads to damp-heat. However, if the Qi of the Spleen and Stomach is robust, even if damp-heat exists, it will easily dissipate on its own. Only when the Qi of the Spleen and Stomach is injured does the transformation and transportation become difficult, failing to generate body fluids and instead giving rise to worms. If one merely treats the worms without tonifying the Spleen and Stomach, then the Spleen Qi cannot digest and the Stomach Qi cannot decompose; the worms will remain safe and unharmed, so what benefit is there? Only by tonifying the Qi of the Spleen and Stomach can the Qi become prosperous and naturally control the worms; supplemented with anti-worm herbs, where would the worms find a gap to escape? This treatment method must employ attack within tonification. The prescription used is Zhi Chong Dan (Worm-Treating Elixir):
Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma, 3 qian), Fu Ling (Poria, 3 qian), Bai Bu (Stemonae Radix, 1 qian), Bing Lang (Arecae Semen, 5 fen), Shi Jun Zi (Quisqualis Fructus, 10 pieces), Zhi Qiao (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus, 5 qian),
Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, 3 qian), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 3 fen), Bai Wei (Cynanchi Atrati Radix, 2 qian), Huang Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma, 2 fen), Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma, 5 fen). Decoct in water and take orally. After two doses, all worms are transformed into water. However, after taking the medicine, one must strictly avoid drinking soups, water, or tea.
Although this prescription contains many anti-worm herbs, when incorporated into formulas for strengthening the Spleen and soothing the Liver, the Righteous Qi (Zheng Qi) remains unharmed, while the worms are completely eradicated; this is a way to achieve both benefits.
In some children, long worms protrude from the anus, refusing to pass out in the stool and refusing to re-enter the rectum. There is no pain or itching. People assume the worm mouth has bitten the tissue, yet who would know this is actually caused by evil influences (Sui Ping)? If the worm mouth had bitten, there would inevitably be pain. Now, being as calm as before, could it really be the worm biting itself? Since the worm is not biting, it should naturally pass out with the feces. Now, it does not pass out but remains half inside; is this not evil influence? Since the disease is caused by evil influence, it should not be treatable by medicine alone. However, if a person has a single thought of repentance, the physician has a corresponding treatment method. If people were to improve themselves but find no medical skill to help, how could we demonstrate the greatness of our Dao? Moreover, parents invariably love their children. Seeing their children suffer from such strange worm infestations, they may doubt their own past misdeeds have brought condemnation, fearing demonic interference. Some pray to Heaven for intercession, others believe in Buddha and plead for mercy. Yet, if physicians have no way to respond, do they not block the door to human repentance? I received transmission from an extraordinary person: applying medicine externally to the worm's body causes it to instantly transform into water. The prescription is named Dian Qiu Dan (Deworming Pointing Elixir):
Shui Yin (Hydrargyrum, 1 qian), Bing Pian (Borneolum Syntheticum, 1 qian), Peng Sha (Borax, 1 fen), Xiong Huang (Realgar, 3 fen), Zhang Nao (Camphora, 1 qian), Qing Fen (Calomelas, 3 fen),
Bai Zhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, 1 qian), Bo He Ye (Menthae Haplocalycis Folium, 3 fen). Grind each into extremely fine powder, until no mercury stars are visible. Mix a small amount with water, apply to the head or body of the worm; shortly thereafter, it will completely transform into water. However, when applying the medicine, one must sincerely bow to Heaven; only then will it be effective. Otherwise, it may or may not work. No internal decoction is needed; this is an extraordinarily unique prescription.
Fearing I might fail the extraordinary person's transmission, I have recorded it exhaustively at the end of the differentiation and treatment section. The extraordinary person was a Taoist priest I met while visiting Mount Nanyue, who called himself Lei Gong (Thunder Duke). His appearance was quite unusual. He transmitted the Huo Ren Lu (Record of Saving Lives) to me, which contains the most miraculous prescriptions; this prescription is one of them.
