1. In cases where a patient with vomiting has an abscess and pus, do not treat the vomiting directly; once the pus is discharged, the condition will resolve spontaneously.
2. Vomiting followed by thirst indicates that the disease is about to resolve; thirst followed by vomiting indicates water retention in the epigastrium (stomach region), which belongs to the category of fluid retention disorders (Yin Jia).
Patients who vomit should normally feel thirsty; if they do not feel thirsty now, it is due to Zhi Yin (fluid retention supporting in the chest/diaphragm) in the epigastrium, which belongs to Zhi Yin disorder.
3. Question: A patient has a rapid pulse (Shu Mai). Rapid pulse indicates heat, which should lead to digestion of food and increased appetite, yet the patient vomits instead. Why? The Master said: This is because sweating was induced previously, causing Yang Qi to become weak and Diaphragm Qi to be deficient, resulting in a rapid pulse. This rapidness represents guest heat (Ke Re, floating empty heat), which cannot digest food; the cause is deficiency-cold in the Stomach.
A wiry pulse (Xian Mai) indicates deficiency. With no surplus Stomach Qi, morning intake leads to evening vomiting, transforming into Wei Fan (Stomach Reversal). Cold is located in the upper jiao, but the physician incorrectly used purgatives. Now the pulse is wiry, hence it is named deficiency.
4. At the Cun Kou (radial artery) position, the pulse is faint (Wei) and rapid (Shu). Faint indicates lack of Qi; lack of Qi leads to Ying (Nutritive) deficiency; Ying deficiency leads to blood insufficiency; blood insufficiency leads to cold in the chest.
5. At the Zu Yang (dorsalis pedis artery) position, the pulse is floating (Fu) and choppy (Se). Floating indicates deficiency; choppy indicates Spleen injury. When the Spleen is injured, it fails to grind food. Morning food is vomited in the evening, and evening food is vomited in the morning; undigested food remains, termed Wei Fan. If the pulse is tight (Jin) and choppy, the disease is difficult to treat.
6. If a patient desires to vomit, do not use purgation.
7. For hiccups accompanied by abdominal fullness, observe the anterior (urination) and posterior (defecation) orifices. Whichever pathway is obstructed, unblock it, and the patient will recover.

24. When the Qi of the Six Fu organs fails externally, there is cold in the hands and feet, upward rushing of Qi, and curling up of the legs. When the Qi of the Five Zang organs fails internally, there is uncontrollable diarrhea. In severe lower cases, there is numbness in the hands and feet.
25. In diarrhea, a deep-wiry pulse indicates heaviness in the rectum (tenesmus); a large pulse indicates the disease has not stopped; a weak-rapid pulse indicates it will stop spontaneously. Even with fever, death will not occur.
26. In diarrhea with cold extremities and absent pulse, if moxibustion does not warm the body, and if the pulse does not return but instead slight wheezing occurs, death ensues. If the Shao Yin pulse is weaker than the Zu Yang pulse, it is a favorable sign.
27. In diarrhea with slight fever and thirst, and a weak pulse, spontaneous recovery is expected.
28. In diarrhea with a rapid pulse, slight fever, and sweating, spontaneous recovery is expected; if the pulse is tight, the disease is unresolved.

31. In diarrhea with flatus incontinence, promote urination.
32. In diarrhea, if the Cun (inch) pulse is floating and rapid while the Chi (cubit) pulse is choppy, pus and blood will appear in the stool.
33. In diarrhea with undigested food, do not attack the exterior; sweating will inevitably cause abdominal fullness.
34. In diarrhea with a deep-slow pulse, slight facial redness, slight body fever, and undigested food, there will likely be vertigo/dizziness (Yu Mao). Recovery occurs with sweating. The patient will likely have slight cold extremities. This is because of "Face Dai Yang" (floating Yang on the face) due to lower deficiency.
35. After diarrhea, if the pulse ceases and extremities are cold, but the pulse returns and extremities become warm, life is preserved; if the pulse does not return, death ensues.
36. In diarrhea with abdominal fullness and body pain, first warm the interior, then attack the exterior. Warm the interior with Si Ni Tang (Frigid Extremities Decoction); attack the exterior with Gui Zhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction).

Shortly after taking, drink 1 sheng of hot thin porridge to assist the medicinal power. Cover with clothing for about an hour until slight general sweating occurs; this is optimal. Do not allow profuse sweating. If one dose produces sweating and the disease resolves, stop subsequent doses.
37. In diarrhea, if all three pulse positions (Cun, Guan, Chi) are level, but pressure on the epigastrium reveals hardness, urgently purge with Da Cheng Qi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction).
38. In diarrhea with a slow-slippery pulse, it is excess; diarrhea has not ceased, urgently purge with Da Cheng Qi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction).
39. In diarrhea, if the pulse is slippery, there is something to be expelled; purging will lead to recovery. Use Da Cheng Qi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction).
40. If diarrhea has resolved but recurs at the same time of year/month/day/hour, it is because the pathogen was not fully eliminated. Purge with Da Cheng Qi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction).
