酌量天时，相度小儿体气，以加减其衣被，常令儿手掌温和，身不烦躁，并忌一切拥炉向火、乖凉风、
弄冷水等事。
吮乳小儿，不多乳，不阙乳，能食之儿，勿吃辛热炙 粘硬生冷，勿多吃茶水，食勿过饱，亦勿过饥，
乳母先须戒食一切鲜发辛热炙 生冷等物。
下苗之后，有因痘苗日久，气薄无验不出者，或因小儿五内壮实，不受苗气，难于传进不出者，或因胎毒
深邃，潜藏内蓄，虽苗气传至不能引出者，总当候至十四日，再为补种。
〔真按〕此方可用绿豆一两，茶叶五钱，雄黄三分，梅花冰片二分，共为细末，如豆干则用芙蓉花油、或
蜡梅花油调搽，若痘湿则以细末掺之。
〔真按〕此方可用荔枝壳微燎存性，草纸烧灰存性，多年陈茅草晒干三味，共为细末掺于烂处，即能收水结痂。
如陈茅草一时难寻，即单用黄豆烧灰，研极细末，掺之亦可。
〔真按〕此方可用古墙屋之烂草、或稻草，洗净晒干为末，掺之可止，因此草久经风霜雨露之滋，而感天地
阴阳之气，善解痘疮之毒，并能收湿气也。
痘出发热，古法主解肌疏表，多用升麻葛根汤（如升麻、葛根、赤芍、甘草，引用芫荽），或用荆芥、防
风、前胡、牛蒡、紫草、木通、红花、天虫、川芎、蝉蜕等味。
〔真按〕伍氏方法，见点忌升麻，即葛根疏表亦忌，世俗布痘，每盛发于君相风木燥金司令，盖非火不发
也，若里热甚重，煎灼脂液，只可苦寒下夺，略佐升表，方用生石膏三钱，生大黄一钱，连翘壳二钱，赤芍药钱
半，天花粉钱半，紫草五分，细木通一钱，粉丹皮钱半，引用犀角尖磨汁二分。腹痛加小青皮五分。
根据天气时令，观察小儿的体质气息，以此来增减其衣物被褥，常使小儿手掌保持温和，身体没有烦躁感，并且忌讳一切围炉烤火、违背凉风规律（如直吹冷风）、玩弄冷水等行为。
吮吸乳汁的婴儿，喂奶次数不宜过多也不宜过少，能够进食的孩子，不要吃辛辣、燥热、油炸、粘稠、坚硬、生冷食物，不要多喝茶水，饮食不要过饱，也不要过饥，乳母首先必须戒食一切新鲜发物、辛辣、燥热、油炸、生冷等食物。
接种痘苗之后，有的因为痘苗存放日久，药气薄弱没有效果导致不出痘；有的因为小儿五脏六腑壮实，不接受痘苗之气，难以传导进而不出痘；有的因为胎毒深邃，潜藏体内蓄积，虽然痘苗之气传导至体内也不能引出痘毒。这些都应当等到第十四天，再重新补种。
〔陈守真按〕此方可以使用绿豆一两，茶叶五钱，雄黄三分，梅花冰片二分，共同研磨成细末。如果痘疮结干痂，则用芙蓉花油或蜡梅花油调和涂抹；如果痘疮湿烂，则以细末撒敷患处。
〔陈守真按〕此方可以使用荔枝壳微火烧至存性，草纸烧成灰存性，多年陈旧的茅草晒干，这三味药共同研磨成细末撒在溃烂处，就能收水结痂。如果一时难寻陈茅草，就单独使用黄豆烧成灰，研成极细的粉末，撒敷也可以。
〔陈守真按〕此方可以使用古旧墙屋上的烂草、或者稻草，洗净晒干后研成粉末，撒敷可以止血（或止渗出），因为这种草久经风霜雨露的滋润，而感应了天地阴阳之气，善于解除痘疮之毒，并能吸收湿气。
痘疹发出伴随发热，古法主张解肌疏表，多用升麻葛根汤（包含升麻、葛根、赤芍、甘草，引用芫荽为引），或者使用荆芥、防风、前胡、牛蒡子、紫草、木通、红花、天虫（僵蚕）、川芎、蝉蜕等药物。
〔陈守真按〕伍氏的方法，在痘点初现时忌讳使用升麻，即使是葛根疏表也要忌讳。世俗布痘（种痘），往往盛发于君相二火以及风木、燥金当令之时，大概是因为非火不发（痘毒需借火热之势发出）。如果里热非常严重，煎灼津液脂膏，只可用苦寒药物攻下夺邪，略微佐以升提透表之药。方剂使用生石膏三钱，生大黄一钱，连翘壳二钱，赤芍药一钱半，天花粉一钱半，紫草五分，细木通一钱，粉丹皮一钱半，引用犀角尖磨汁二分。腹痛者加小青皮五分。
According to the seasonal weather, observe the child's constitution and qi, thereby adjusting their clothing and bedding. The palms should always remain warm, and the body should not feel irritable. One must avoid all activities such as huddling by a stove, exposing oneself to harsh cold winds, or playing with cold water.
For infants breastfeeding, feeding frequency should be neither excessive nor insufficient. For children who can eat solid food, they should avoid spicy, hot, fried, sticky, hard, and raw/cold foods, and should not drink too much tea. Meals should not be too full nor too hungry. The nursing mother must first abstain from eating all fresh "fa" (stimulating/triggering) foods, spicy, hot, fried, and raw/cold items.
After inoculation, some cases may fail to produce pustules because the vaccine has been stored for a long time, resulting in weak efficacy. Others may fail because the child's internal organs are robust and reject the vaccine's qi, making transmission difficult. Still others may have deep-seated fetal toxins hidden internally; even if the vaccine's qi reaches them, it cannot draw out the toxin. In all such cases, one should wait until the fourteenth day before re-inoculating.
[Chen Shouzhen notes] This formula uses 1 liang of Mung Bean Seed (Vigna radiata), 5 qian of Tea Leaf (Camellia sinensis), 3 fen of Realgar (Realgar), and 2 fen of Borneol (Borneolum Syntheticum). Grind them into a fine powder. If the pustule has formed a dry crust, mix with Hibiscus Flower Oil or Wax Plum Blossom Oil and apply externally. If the pustule is wet/oozing, sprinkle the fine powder directly on the lesion.
[Chen Shouzhen notes] This formula uses Lychee Shell (Litchi chinensis pericarpium) lightly charred to retain its properties, paper burned to ash retaining its properties, and dried old thatch grass (Imperata cylindrica rhizoma/stem). Grind these three ingredients into a fine powder and sprinkle on the ulcerated area to stop exudation and form scabs. If old thatch grass is unavailable, burning soybean (Glycine max seed) to ash, grinding it into an extremely fine powder, and applying it is also effective.
[Chen Shouzhen notes] This formula uses rotten straw from ancient walls or ordinary rice straw (Oryza sativa), washed and dried, then ground into powder. Sprinkling this can stop bleeding/exudation because this grass has been nourished by wind, frost, rain, and dew, absorbing the qi of heaven and earth. It is good at resolving chickenpox/smallpox toxins and absorbing dampness.
When smallpox/rash erupts accompanied by fever, ancient methods advocate releasing the muscle layer and dispersing the exterior, often using Shengma Gegen Tang (Cimicifugae Rhizoma and Puerariae Radix Decoction, containing Cimicifugae Rhizoma, Puerariae Radix, Red Peony Root, Licorice Root, with Coriander Fruit as a guide). Alternatively, use Schizonepeta Spike, Saposhnikovia Root, Peucedanum Root, Arctium Fruit, Arnebia Root/Lithospermum Root, Akebia Stem, Safflower, Bombyx Batryticatus, Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizome, and Periostracum Cicadae.
[Chen Shouzhen notes] Wu’s method prohibits the use of Cimicifugae Rhizoma when spots first appear, and even advises against using Puerariae Radix for dispersing the exterior. Secular inoculation often flares up when the Ministerial Fire and Sovereign Fire, along with Wind-Wood and Dry-Metal energies, are dominant. Generally, fire is required for eruption. If interior heat is severe, scorching body fluids and essence, one should only use bitter-cold purgatives to drain the pathogen, slightly assisting with exterior-dispersing herbs. The formula uses Raw Gypsum (Gypsum Fibrosum) 3 qian, Raw Rhubarb (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) 1 qian, Forsythia Fruit (Forsythiae Fructus) 2 qian, Red Peony Root 1.5 qian, Trichosanthes Root (Trichosanthis Radix) 1.5 qian, Arnebia/Lithospermum Root 5 fen, Fine Akebia Stem 1 qian, Moutan Cortex 1.5 qian, with Rhinoceros Horn (Rhinocerotis Cornu - *Note: substitute with Buffalo Horn in modern practice*) tip ground juice 2 fen as a guide. Add Green Tangerine Peel (Citrus reticulata pericarpium) 5 fen for abdominal pain.
