【荣斋按】伤寒阳明发狂，与癫狂不同。阳明之狂，因迷走神经起于延髓，终于肠
胃，胃热而迷走神经受炙，以致影响到大脑皮层，于是谵语、发狂出现了。所以阳明发
狂，是由于肠胃的实热壅闭；清其热，通其闭，则神经自安，谵狂便息 。然阳明之狂，
有潮热便闭等症状，而癫狂病则无∶癫狂病有发作性，时剧时已，而阳明病则不然。以
此为辨。至于“阳明发狂”的证治，根据文献记载及临床观察，经过初步的分析，得出
如
下几点∶
关于症状方面──（一）热度在四十度上下，最高是四十一度。（二）情绪及动作
的表现，是∶烦躁不安，神昏呓语，或欲登高而歌，弃衣而走，不能静卧，时或一跃而
起，且能奔走下楼；精神若明若糊，不能自制其行动。初时呼之则神志转清，渐则唤之
亦沉沉昏睡。（三）病重者两手时张时举，手指振颤，举措不全适意，或寻衣，摸床、
撮空。（四）两耳作聋，唇皮颤动，卧时吐气，鼻孔煽动，齿垢唇焦。（五）大小便
秘涩或失禁。（六）呓语约分三类∶一为日常生活或卖买之对答（平日劳心过度之故）
，一为奔走操作之演述（平日劳力过度之故），一为梦见神鬼之怪语（平日向畏鬼神因
高热而神经生幻觉状态）。
关于药治方面──（一）清热解毒安定神经，如犀角、黄连
、牛黄为主要药；佐以石膏、竹沥、金汁、大青叶、板蓝根。（二）镇静神经防止发厥
，如羚角、牛黄、龙胆草。（三）消炎退热，如知母、黄柏、丹皮、赤芍、青黛、花粉
、甘中黄、寒水石、黄芩。（四）清涤神经开窍醒脑，如朱砂、钩勾、冰片、西黄、广
郁金、麝香。（五）清肺化痰，如川贝、桑皮、鲜菖蒲、陈胆星。（六）养营，如生地
、元参、麦冬。其中也有应用下剂的，但须以腹诊及大便是否秘结为准。
又按∶俞氏所说“心风发狂”，体味他叙述的症状，相当于“癫痫”，不能说是发
狂。根据古人治法，应用吐剂以祛肺胃过多的分泌，以减少体内刺激（如张子和尝用瓜
蒂散以治癫痫，东人也屡用之。）安神镇逆以镇静神经；（茯神、远志、枣仁、龙牡等
。）铁剂（如《内经》生铁落饮）以除血结而益贫血；毒剂（如龙虎丸、妙功丸、龙马
自来丹。）以祛痰除毒，亢进血行；辛凉（羚羊、石膏之类）以除脑热；也有用大补气
血，以强壮脑神经。总之，法无一定，俞氏所谓“辨其阴阳虚实，对证发药。”这是要
诀。
(Lian Kan) This prescription is slightly more potent than Longhu Wan (Dragon-Tiger Pill) but milder than Zhang Tianchi's Hongbai Duan Kuang Wan (Red-White Crazy-Prescribing Pill). The formula uses raw white realgar (Bai Pi), castor bean frost (Badou Shuang), and cinnabar (Zhusha), each one qian. These are mixed with wheat paste to form pills the size of mustard seeds. Each dose consists of seven or eight pills, taken with newly drawn well water, to expel stubborn phlegm and turbid saliva. If the patient's complexion is bright red, or fluctuates between cyanotic and red, sleepless day and night, and after more than a month begins to speak nonsense, even climbing walls and roofs; if the female patient has amenorrhea for three months, and the pulse is long, large, and forceful, this is mostly due to blazing heart fire scorching the stomach and liver, leading to madness, crying, and cursing. It is suitable to use Xiling Sanhuang Tang (Rhinoceros Horn and Three Yellows Decoction). [Calculus Cornu Rhinocerotis, Coptidis Rhizoma each one qian; Calculus Cornu Caprae, Ferrum Preparatum, Persicariae Semen each two qian; fresh Rehmanniae Radix, Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix, Halitostone each five qian; Succinum, Indigo Naturalis each five fen; Bovis Calculus two fen, mixed and taken.] This formula typically cures male patients within five to six days, and stabilizes female patients within half a month. It clears the heart and purges the liver. Although madness may be classified as yin or yang, excess or deficiency, and vary by newness or chronicity in meridians and zang-fu organs, it invariably involves the heart and liver. The heart houses the spirit (Shen) and governs cognition; the liver stores the soul (Hun) and governs motor activity. There is no case where the spirit and soul are clear yet the person falls into such extreme confusion and madness. Alas! Master Hu's establishment of these four major prescriptions for purging, vomiting, clearing, and descending is truly a masterstroke. Even his two tonifying formulas are quite steady. One is Shenfu Anshen Wan (Ginseng and Poria Spirit-Calming Pill). [Ginseng Radix, Poria with Hostwood, fried Ziziphus Seed, Angelicae Sinensis Radix, Rehmanniae Radix, Coptidis Rhizoma wine-fried, Citrus Reticulata Pericarpium, Pinellia Ternata with Ginger each one liang; Hyacinth Bean Meal five qian, Realgar, Bovis Calculus each two qian. Pulverized, honey-pilled to the size of a wutong seed, coated with cinnabar, taken with rice drink, fifty pills per dose. Avoid wind-aggravating, pungent-warm, meaty, turbid, sweet, and greasy foods.] It treats madness caused by loss of will and fright, where after emesis and purgation, the major symptoms have subsided, but there remain dull eyes and indefinite delusions. It calms the heart, nourishes the spirit, eliminates phlegm, and clears fire to achieve recovery. The other is Rougan Xifeng Jian (Liver-Soothing Wind-Extinguishing Decoction). [Prepared Polygoni Multiflori Caulis, Chrysanthemi Flos, Poria with Hostwood, Angelicae Sinensis Radix, Dendrobii Caulis, Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix, Curcumae Aromatica Rhizome each three qian; Tribuli Fructus, Polygalae Radix each one and a half qian, Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizome, Alum each eight fen.] It treats liver yin deficiency with internal wind harassing the spirit, accompanied by phlegm-saliva, causing mental derangement and epilepsy that persists chronically. It soothes the liver, nourishes yin, extinguishes wind, and eliminates phlegm to achieve recovery. Zhao Qinglao stated that he excelled in treating mania, which is indeed fitting. In general, mania caused by external contraction is transient; death is rapid, and recovery is also rapid. Mania caused by internal injury is chronic; death is slow, and recovery is also slow. Yu's differentiation of yang mania and "ru kuang" (like-mania) is the orthodox treatment for mania. However, the potency of the drugs and the speed of efficacy do not surpass Master Hu's work here, so I excerpted it.
[Rongzhai's Note] Yangming mania in Shanghan differs from diankuang (epilepsy and mania). Yangming mania arises because the vagus nerve originates in the medulla oblongata and terminates in the gastrointestinal tract. Stomach heat scorches the vagus nerve, affecting the cerebral cortex, thus leading to delirium and mania. Therefore, Yangming mania is caused by excess heat and obstruction in the intestines and stomach; clearing the heat and unblocking the obstruction allows the nerves to settle, and delirium and mania cease. However, Yangming mania presents with tidal fever and constipation, whereas diankuang does not; diankuang is paroxysmal, alternating between severe and remission phases, while Yangming disease is not so. This serves as the basis for differentiation. Regarding the syndrome and treatment of "Yangming Mania," based on literature and clinical observation, preliminary analysis yields the following points:
Regarding symptoms—(1) Body temperature is around 40°C, reaching up to 41°C at its peak. (2) Emotional and behavioral manifestations include: restlessness, coma with muttering, or desire to climb high and sing, discarding clothes and running, inability to lie quietly, sometimes leaping up and running downstairs; consciousness is fluctuating, unable to control actions. Initially, calling them brings temporary clarity; gradually, even calling results in deep sleep. (3) In severe cases, hands open and raise intermittently, fingers tremble, movements are awkward, or they search for clothes, touch beds, or grasp at empty air. (4) Deafness in both ears, trembling lips, heavy breathing while lying, nasal flaring, dental crust, and cracked lips. (5) Constipation or incontinence of urine and feces. (6) Delirious speech is roughly divided into three types: one involves daily life or trade dialogues (due to excessive mental labor); another involves descriptions of physical labor (due to excessive physical labor); the third involves bizarre words about gods and ghosts (due to prior fear of spirits, resulting in neural hallucinations from high fever).
Regarding pharmacological treatment—(1) Clearing heat, detoxifying, and calming the nerves, using Calculus Cornu Rhinocerotis, Coptidis Rhizoma, and Bovis Calculus as main drugs; assisted by Gypsum Fibrosum, Phyllostachys Bambusae Sap, Jinzhi (Gold Juice), Isatidis Folium, and Isatidis Radix. (2) Sedating nerves and preventing jue (syncope/cold extremities), such as Calculus Cornu Caprae, Bovis Calculus, and Gentianae Radix. (3) Anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects, such as Anemarrhenae Rhizoma, Phellodendri Cortex, Moutan Cortex, Paeoniae Radix Rubra, Indigo Naturalis, Trichosanthis Radix, Gan Zhong Huang, and Hypocoeruleum. (4) Cleansing nerves, opening orifices, and reviving the brain, such as Cinnabaris, Uncariae Ramulus cum Uncis, Borax, Bovis Calculus, Curcumae Aromatica Rhizome, and Moschus. (5) Clearing lungs and resolving phlegm, such as Fritillariae Thunbergii Bulbus, Morus Albae Cortex, fresh Acori Tatarinowii Rhizome, and aged Pinellia Ternata processed with bile. (6) Nourying Ying (nutritive qi), such as Rehmanniae Radix, Scrophulariae Radix, and Ophiopogonis Radix. Among these, purgatives are also used, but must be determined by abdominal diagnosis and whether stool is constipated.
Furthermore: What Yu described as "Xinfeng Fa Kuang" (Heart Wind Causing Mania), when examining his symptom description, corresponds to "Dianxian" (Epilepsy), and cannot be called mania. According to ancient treatments, emetics were applied to remove excessive secretions from the lungs and stomach, reducing internal stimulation (such as Zhang Zihe using Genti San to treat epilepsy, frequently used by Eastern practitioners). Spirit-calming and counter-flow-regulating agents were used to sedate nerves (such as Poria with Hostwood, Polygalae Radix, Ziziphus Seed, Dragon Bone, and Oyster Shell). Iron preparations (such as Shengtie Luo Yin from Neijing) were used to resolve blood stasis and benefit anemia. Toxic agents (such as Longhu Wan, Miaogong Wan, Longma Zilai Dan) were used to expel phlegm, detoxify, and stimulate blood circulation. Acrid-cool herbs (such as Calculus Cornu Caprae, Gypsum) were used to clear brain heat. There were also instances of using massive Qi and Blood tonics to strengthen brain nerves. In short, methods are not fixed. Yu's principle of "differentiating yin and yang, excess and deficiency, and prescribing according to the syndrome" is the key essence.
