(以上皆石香方)
救苦化坚汤(东垣) 治瘰 、马刀、挟瘿,在耳下或耳后,下颈
至肩上,或入缺盆中,乃手足少阳之经分。其瘰 在颏下,或至颊
车,乃阳明之经分,受心脾之邪而作也。今将二证合而治之。

之妙剂也) 人参(三分,补肺气之药也,如气短不调及喘者,宜加之) 炙甘草(五分
,能调中,和诸药,泻火,益胃气,亦能去疮中之邪) 真漏芦 升麻(各一钱) 葛根
(五分,此三味,俱足阳明本经药也) 连翘(一钱,此一味,乃十二经疮中之药,不可无
也,能散诸血结气聚,此疮家之神药也) 牡丹皮(三分,去肠胃中留滞宿血) 当归

用) 肉桂(二分,大辛热,能散结积,阴证疮疡须当少用之,此寒因热用之意。又为寒
阴腹盖其疮,用大辛热去阴寒之气。如有烦躁者,去之) 柴胡(八分,功用连翘。如
疮不在少阳经,则去之) 鼠粘子(三分,无肿不用) 羌活(一钱) 独活(五分) 防
风(五分,以上三味,必问手足太阳症,脊痛项强,不可回顾,腰似折,项似拔者是也。其
防风一味辛温,如疮在膈以上,虽无手足太阳经症,亦当用之,为能散结,去上部风邪)
昆布(二分,其味太咸,若坚硬者宜用,盖咸能软坚也) 荆三棱(炮,二分) 广术
炮,三分,此二味,若疮坚硬甚者用之,如不甚坚硬者不须用) 益智(二分,如唾多者,

上件共为细末,汤浸蒸饼捏作饼子,日干,捣如米粒大,每服三钱,白汤送下。如气不顺,加橘红。甚者,加木香
少许。量病患虚实,临时斟酌与之,毋令药多妨其饮食,此为治之大法也。如止在阳明分者,去柴胡、鼠粘子二味,余
皆用之。如在少阳分为马刀挟瘿者,去独活、漏芦、升麻、葛根,更加瞿麦三分。如本人素气弱,其病势来时,气盛而
不短促者,不可用。考其平素,宜作气盛,而从病变之权也,宜加黄芩、黄连、黄柏、知母、防己之类,视邪气在上中
下而用之。假令邪气在上焦,加黄芩(半酒洗,半生用),在中焦,加黄连(半酒洗,半生用),在下焦,则加酒制黄柏、
知母、防己之类,选而用之。如大便不通而滋其邪盛者,加酒制大黄以利之。如血燥而大便干燥者,加桃仁泥、酒制大
黄二味。如风结燥不行者,加麻仁、大黄以润之。如风涩而大便不行者,加煨皂角仁、大黄、秦艽以利之。如脉涩,觉
身有气涩而大便不通者,加郁李仁、大黄,以除气燥也。如阴寒之病,为寒结秘而大便不通,以局方中半硫丸,或加炮
附子、干姜,煎水冷服之。大抵用药之法,不惟疮疡一家,诸疾病重人素气弱者,当去苦寒之药,多加人参、黄 、甘
草之类,泻火而先补其元气,余皆仿此。

疔肿方法
石香程氏曰∶疔肿之症,皆蓄热毒之深而成者也。近者多见因食灾牛疫马之肉,而成此证。其形有十三种,皆以形
而名之耳∶一曰麻子疔,二曰石疔,三曰雄疔,四曰雌疔,五曰火疔,六曰烂疔,七曰三十六种疔,八曰蛇眼疔,九曰
盐肤疔,十曰水洗疔,十一曰刀镰疔,十二曰浮沤疔,十三曰牛狗疔。惟三十六种疔最为可畏,其状头黑浮起,形如黑
豆,四畔大赤色,今日生一,明日生二,后日生三,乃至十数,犹为可治,若满三十六,则为不治之证也。夫十三种疔,
其形状虽各不同,而其所由,皆热毒之甚也。治法并急用夺命丹下之,去其毒之锐势,次服化毒丸及内托散、二活散、
雄麝汤,随证经络病势缓急,用引经药斟酌施治。如无他证,有热即退热,有肿则退肿。如身冷自汗,呕逆躁喘,狂喝
妄语,直视者,皆毒瓦斯入内,不可治矣。如疔已拔去,用金银白芷散、加减十宣散调之,方获全安也。
今将十三种疔证候开列于后∶
一曰麻子疔,其状肉起,头如黍米,色稍黑,四边微赤,多痒,忌食麻子、近油衣布衣、并入麻田中行。
二曰石疔,其状皮肉相连,色如黑豆,甚硬,刺之不入,肉微痛,忌瓦砾砖石之属。
三曰雄疔,其状 头黑靥,四畔仰, 浆起,有水出,色黄,大如钱孔形高者,忌房事。
四曰雌疔,其状疮稍黄,向里靥,亦似灸疮,四面 浆起,心凹色赤,如钱孔者,忌房事。
(将药材)研磨成细粉。生地黄(二两),辰砂(一钱,单独研磨),粉霜(单独研磨),麝香(各五分)。
先将草木灰汁过滤澄清,放入锅中煎煮至浓稠,加入穿山甲末,等待煎至焦干一半时,加入麝香,接着加入粉霜,待药液干燥至九成时,加入辰砂,等待结成膏状,最后加入炒制的锻石末,使其成为块状,立即收入小罐中,避免接触风。
龙珠膏
龙芽草(五两),棘枣根(五钱),海藻(二钱五分),苏木(五钱)。
以上药材切碎,取水二十碗,煎煮至十二三碗,滤去药渣,再用:
桑柴灰(二碗半),锻石(二碗半),苍耳草灰(二碗半)。用两层草纸、两层皮纸铺在箩底,将灰放在上面,用煎好的药汤热淋,取得约十碗澄清的灰汁,倒入锅内煎制成膏,加入巴豆霜、白丁香、石膏、麝香、轻粉,用瓷罐收贮。每次使用时敷在肿块上,再次敷药时需去掉旧药及结痂,再敷上新药,肿块就会溃破而愈。根部较小的只需将药涂在根部,肿块自然会溃破。
(以上均为石香的方子)
救苦化坚汤(李东垣方) 治疗瘰疬、马刀疮、挟瘿,位于耳下或耳后,向下延伸至颈部至肩部,或进入缺盆中,这属于手少阳经和足少阳经的分布区域。瘰疬位于下巴下方,或延伸至颊车穴,这属于足阳明经的分布区域,是由心脾之邪气侵袭所致。现在将这两种证候合并治疗。
黄芪(一钱,保护皮毛间隙,补益腠理虚弱及活血行气,是治疗疮疡的圣药,也是固表补益元气的妙剂),人参(三分,补肺气的药物,如出现气短不调及喘息者,适宜加入),炙甘草(五分,能调和脾胃,协调诸药,泻火,益胃气,也能去除疮中的邪气),真漏芦,升麻(各一钱),葛根(五分,这三味药都是足阳明本经的药物),连翘(一钱,这一味药是十二经疮疡通用的药物,不可缺少,能消散各种血结气聚,是治疗疮疡的神药),牡丹皮(三分,去除肠胃中滞留的陈旧瘀血),当归身(三分),生地黄(三分),熟地黄(三分,这三味药是各经中和血、生血、凉血的药物),白芍药(三分,如在夏季加倍使用,其味酸气寒,能补中益气虚,治疗腹痛必用,冬季寒冷时不可使用),肉桂(二分,大辛大热,能消散结积,阴证疮疡须少量使用,这是“寒因热用”的意思。又如在寒冷季节腹部受寒覆盖疮口,需用大辛大热之品去除阴寒之气。如有烦躁症状者,去掉此药),柴胡(八分,功效类似连翘。如果疮不在少阳经,则去掉此药),鼠粘子(牛蒡子,三分,无肿胀不用),羌活(一钱),独活(五分),防风(五分,以上三味药,必须询问是否有手足太阳经症状,如脊痛项强,不能回顾,腰似折断,项似拔起者是也。防风一味辛温,如果疮在膈膜以上,即使没有手足太阳经症状,也应当使用,因为它能消散结滞,去除上部风邪),昆布(二分,味道太咸,如果肿块坚硬者适宜使用,因为咸味能软坚散结),荆三棱(炮制,二分),莪术(炮制,三分,这两味药,如果疮疡坚硬严重者使用,如果不甚坚硬则不需要使用),益智仁(二分,如果唾液多者,是胃不和的表现,或者病人吐沫吐食、胃中有寒者加入,没有则不用),麦面(二钱,治疗腹中收缩紧急,又能消食健脾),神曲(炒制,二分,食物不消化者使用),黄连(三分,治疗烦闷),厚朴(姜制,一钱一分,如果腹胀者加入),黄柏(炒制,三分,如果有热或腿脚无力者加入,如果有烦躁想脱衣者,说明肾中有伏火,更适宜加入,没有则不用)。
以上药材共研为细末,用汤浸泡蒸饼捏成饼状,晒干,捣碎如米粒大小,每次服用三钱,用白开水送服。如果气不顺,加橘红。严重的,加少许木香。根据病人的虚实情况,临时斟酌给予,不要让药物过多妨碍饮食,这是治疗的根本大法。如果仅在阳明经分,去掉柴胡、鼠粘子两味药,其余都用。如果在少阳经分为马刀挟瘿者,去掉独活、漏芦、升麻、葛根,再加瞿麦三分。如果病人平时气弱,发病时气势盛且不短促者,不可使用。考察其平素体质,宜作气盛处理,并根据病变权变,宜加黄芩、黄连、黄柏、知母、防己之类,视邪气在上、中、下焦而选用。假如邪气在上焦,加黄芩(半酒洗,半生用),在中焦,加黄连(半酒洗,半生用),在下焦,则加酒制黄柏、知母、防己之类,选择使用。如果大便不通且滋长邪气盛者,加酒制大黄以通利。如果血燥而大便干燥者,加桃仁泥、酒制大黄两味药。如果风结燥不行者,加麻仁、大黄以润肠。如果风涩而大便不行者,加煨皂角仁、大黄、秦艽以利便。如果脉涩,感觉身体气机涩滞而大便不通者,加郁李仁、大黄,以除气燥。如果是阴寒之病,因寒结秘而大便不通,用局方中的半硫丸,或加炮附子、干姜,煎好后放冷服。大抵用药之法,不仅限于疮疡一家,其他疾病重症且人平时气弱者,应当去掉苦寒之药,多加人参、黄芪、甘草之类,泻火的同时先补益元气,其余都仿照此法。

疔肿方法
石香程氏说:疔肿之症,都是蓄积热毒之深而成的。近来多见因食用灾牛疫马的肉,而成此证。其形有十三种,都以形状而得名:一曰麻子疔,二曰石疔,三曰雄疔,四曰雌疔,五曰火疔,六曰烂疔,七曰三十六种疔,八曰蛇眼疔,九曰盐肤疔,十曰水洗疔,十一曰刀镰疔,十二曰浮沤疔,十三曰牛狗疔。只有三十六种疔最为可怕,其状头黑浮起,形如黑豆,四周大红色,今天生一个,明天生两个,后天生三个,乃至十几个,还为可治,如果满三十六个,则为不治之证。那十三种疔,其形状虽各不相同,但其由来,都是热毒之极盛。治法并急用夺命丹下之,去除毒之锐势,其次服用化毒丸及内托散、二活散、雄麝汤,随证经络病势缓急,用引经药斟酌施治。如果没有其他证候,有热即退热,有肿则退肿。如果身冷自汗,呕逆躁喘,狂喝妄语,直视者,都是毒瓦斯入内,不可治了。如果疔已拔去,用金银白芷散、加减十宣散调理,方能获得全安。
现将十三种疔证候开列如下:

Located below or behind the ear, extending down the neck to the shoulder, or entering the Que Pen (Clavicular Fossa). This belongs to the distribution areas of the Hand-Shaoyang and Foot-Shaoyang meridians. Luo Li located under the chin or extending to the Jia Che (Masseter) point belongs to the Foot-Yangming meridian area, caused by pathogenic factors from the Heart and Spleen. Now treating both conditions together.
Huang Qi (Astragali Radix, one qian, protects the skin and hair follicles, tonifies the deficiency of Cou Li [interstices], and invigorates blood qi; it is the sacred medicine for wound diseases and an excellent agent for consolidating the exterior and tonifying Yuan Qi), Ren Shen (Panacis Ginseng Radix, three fen, a medicine that tonifies Lung Qi; suitable for addition if there is shortness of breath or irregular breathing and wheezing), Zhi Gan Cao (Prepared Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, five fen, can harmonize the Middle Jiao, coordinate various herbs, drain fire, benefit Stomach Qi, and also eliminate pathogens in sores), Zhen Lou Lu (Euphorbiae Humifusae Radix), Sheng Ma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma, one qian each), Ge Gen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix, five fen; these three herbs belong to the Foot-Yangming meridian), Lian Qiao (Forsythiae Fructus, one qian; this herb is used for sores in all twelve meridians and cannot be omitted; it dissipates blood stasis and qi stagnation, and is a divine medicine for wound diseases), Mu Dan Pi (Moutan Cortex, three fen, removes retained old blood stasis in the intestines and stomach), Dang Gui Shen (Angelicae Sinensis Radix Body, three fen), Sheng Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix, three fen), Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmanniae Radix, three fen; these three herbs harmonize blood, generate blood, and cool blood in various meridians), Bai Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, three fen; double the dose in summer; its sour taste and cold nature tonify the center, benefit Qi deficiency, and are essential for treating abdominal pain; do not use in winter cold), Rou Gui (Cinnamomi Cortex, two fen, greatly acrid and hot, can dissipate nodules and accumulations; must be used sparingly in Yin-type sores, reflecting the principle of "treating cold with heat." Also used when covering sores on the cold abdomen with large acrid-hot herbs to dispel Yin-cold. Remove if irritability is present), Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix, eight fen, functions similarly to Lian Qiao. Remove if the sore is not in the Shaoyang meridian), Niu Bang Zi (Arctii Fructus, three fen, omit if no swelling), Qiang Huo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix, one qian), Du Huo (Angelicae Pubescentis Radix, five fen), Fang Feng (Saposhnikoviae Radix, five fen; for the above three herbs, inquire about symptoms of the Hand and Foot-Taiyang meridians, such as back pain, stiff neck, inability to look back, waist feeling like breaking, neck feeling like pulling. Fang Feng is acrid and warm; if the sore is above the diaphragm, use it even without Taiyang symptoms, as it dissipates nodules and removes Wind-pathogens from the upper body), Kun Bu (Sargassum, two fen, very salty; suitable for hard nodules, as saltiness softens hardness), Jing San Leng (Prunasi Semen, processed, two fen), E Zhu (Curcumae Rhizoma, processed, three fen; use these two herbs only if the sore is extremely hard; omit if not very hard), Yi Zhi Ren (Alpiniae Oxyphyllae Fructus, two fen; if there is excessive saliva, indicating Stomach disharmony, or if the patient spits foam/vomit and has Stomach cold, add it; omit if absent), Mai Mian (Wheat Flour, two qian, treats abdominal contraction and urgency, promotes digestion, and strengthens the Spleen), Shen Qu (Medicated Leaven, processed, two fen, use for indigestion), Huang Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma, three fen, treats irritability), Hou Po (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, ginger-processed, one qian one fen, add if abdominal distension), Huang Bo (Phellodendri Cortex, processed, three fen, add if there is heat or weakness in legs and feet; if there is irritability and desire to undress, indicating latent fire in the Kidney, it is especially suitable to add; omit if absent).
Grind all the above into fine powder. Soak in decoction, steam, shape into cakes, dry in the sun, and crush to the size of rice grains. Take three qian per dose, swallowed with plain boiled water. If Qi is not smooth, add Ju Hong (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium). For severe cases, add a little Mu Xiang (Vladimiriae Root). Adjust according to the patient's deficiency or excess; do not let the medicine interfere too much with diet. This is the general principle of treatment. If the condition is only in the Yangming meridian, remove Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix) and Niu Bang Zi (Arctii Fructus); use the rest. If it is in the Shaoyang meridian as Ma Dao and Jia Ying, remove Du Huo (Angelicae Pubescentis Radix), Lou Lu (Euphorbiae Humifusae Radix), Sheng Ma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma), and Ge Gen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix); additionally add Qu Mai (Dianthi Herba, three fen). If the patient is constitutionally weak but the disease presents with strong Qi and no shortness of breath, do not use this formula. Examine their usual state; treat as excess Qi and adjust according to the pathology. It is appropriate to add Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix), Huang Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma), Huang Bo (Phellodendri Cortex), Zhi Mu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma), and Fang Ji (Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix), selecting based on whether the pathogen is in the Upper, Middle, or Lower Jiao. For example, if the pathogen is in the Upper Jiao, add Huang Qin (half wine-washed, half raw); in the Middle Jiao, add Huang Lian (half wine-washed, half raw); in the Lower Jiao, add wine-processed Huang Bo (Phellodendri Cortex), Zhi Mu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma), and Fang Ji (Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix). If constipation exacerbates the excess pathogen, add wine-processed Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) to promote purgation. If blood dryness causes dry stool, add Tao Ren (Persicae Semen) paste and wine-processed Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma). If Wind-stagnation causes dryness and obstruction, add Ma Ren (Cannabis Semen) and Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) to moisten. If Wind-dryness causes obstruction, add Wei Zao Jiao Ren (Gleditsiae Sinensis Semen, roasted), Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma), and Qin Jiao (Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix) to promote bowel movement. If the pulse is choppy and there is a sensation of Qi stagnation with constipation, add Yu Li Ren (Chrysobalanis Semen) and Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) to remove Qi dryness. If it is a Yin-cold disease causing constipation due to cold stagnation, use Ban Shou Wan (Half-Sulfur Pill) from the Bureau Formulas, or add Pao Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) and Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), decocted and taken cold. Generally, in medication methods, not only for sores but also for other severe diseases in patients with weak constitution, remove bitter-cold herbs and increase Ren Shen (Panacis Ginseng Radix), Huang Qi (Astragali Radix), and Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) to drain fire while first tonifying Yuan Qi. Follow this pattern for others.

Methods for Ding Zhong (Carbuncle/Furuncle)
Shi Xiang Chengshi said: Ding Zhong (Carbuncle/Furuncle) syndromes are all caused by deep accumulation of Heat-Toxin. Recently, many cases arise from eating meat of diseased cattle or horses. There are thirteen types, named by shape: 1. Ma Zi Ding (Hemp Seed Carbuncle), 2. Shi Ding (Stone Carbuncle), 3. Xiong Ding (Male Carbuncle), 4. Ci Ding (Female Carbuncle), 5. Huo Ding (Fire Carbuncle), 6. Lan Ding (Rotting Carbuncle), 7. San Shi Liu Zhong Ding (Thirty-Six-Type Carbuncle), 8. She Yan Ding (Snake Eye Carbuncle), 9. Yan Fu Ding (Salt Skin Carbuncle), 10. Shui Xi Ding (Water Washed Carbuncle), 11. Dao Lian Ding (Sickle Carbuncle), 12. Fu Ao Ding (Floating Bubble Carbuncle), 13. Niu Gou Ding (Cow-Dog Carbuncle). The Thirty-Six-Type Carbuncle is most feared. Its appearance has a black, floating head, shaped like a black bean, with bright red surroundings. If one appears today, two tomorrow, three the day after, up to dozens, it is still treatable. If it reaches thirty-six, it is incurable. Although the shapes of the thirteen types differ, they all originate from extreme Heat-Toxin. Treatment urgently requires Duo Ming Dan (Life-Seizing Pill) to purge and reduce the sharpness of the toxin. Subsequently take Hua Du Wan (Toxin-Transforming Pill), Nei Tuo San (Internal Support Powder), Er Huo San (Two Active Herbs Powder), and Xiong She Tang (Male Musk Decoction). Select guiding herbs according to the meridian, syndrome, and severity. If no other syndromes, reduce heat if present, reduce swelling if present. If cold limbs, spontaneous sweating, vomiting, restlessness, wheezing, delirium, wild shouting, staring eyes, the toxin has entered internally and is incurable. If the Ding (Carbuncle) has been extracted, use Jin Yin Bai Zhi San (Silver White Angelica Powder) or Jia Jian Shi Xuan San (Modified Ten Acupoints Powder) to regulate, ensuring full recovery.

1. Ma Zi Ding (Hemp Seed Carbuncle): Flesh raised, head like millet, slightly black color, slightly red edges, often itchy. Avoid eating hemp seeds, touching oiled clothes/cloth, and walking in hemp fields.
