交州刺史杜燮中毒药而死,董奉以太乙散和水沃燮口中,须臾乃苏。燮自谓初死时,有
一车门直入一处,内燮于土窟中,以土塞之。俄顷,闻太乙使至,追杜燮,遂开土窟,燮得出。
广陵太守陈登患腹烦满,面赤不食,使人讲华佗。至曰∶君腹中有虫欲成,盖腥物之所为。
乃与汤药,遂吐虫三升许。虫头皆赤,半身犹是生脍。
古有患者,饮食如故,发则如癫,面色青黄,小腹胀满如孕。医者诊其脉与证皆异,而难
明其主疗。忽有一山叟曰∶闻开皇六年,灞桥有患此病。盖因三月八日水边食芹菜得之,有
识者曰∶此蛟龙病也。为龙游于芹菜之上,误食而病也。遂以寒食饧,每剂五合,服之数服,吐
出一物,虽小而似蛟龙状,有两头。其病者根据此治之获效。
金州防御使崔尧封有甥李言吉,左目上睑忽生一小疮,渐大,长如鸭卵,其根如弦,
恒偃其目不能开。尧封饮之酒,令大醉,遂与割去。疮既破,中有黄雀飞鸣而去。
世有奇疾,终莫能晓。昔吕缙叔以制诰知颖州,忽得疾,但缩小,不能医,临终仅如小儿。
古人不曾患此疾,终无人识。
元末四明吕复,别号沧州翁,深于医道。临川道士萧云泉,眼中视物皆倒植,请复治,
问其因。曰∶某尝大醉,尽吐所饮酒,熟睡至天明,遂得此病。复诊其脉,左关浮促,即告之曰∶
伤酒大吐,上焦反复,致倒其胆腑,故视物皆倒植,不内外因,法当复吐以正其胆。遂用藜芦、
瓜蒂为粗末水煎,使平旦顿服,以吐为度,吐毕视物如常。(《九灵山房集》)
交州刺史杜燮因误服毒药而死,董奉用太乙散加水灌入杜燮口中,不久他便苏醒过来。杜燮自称刚死时,有一扇车门直开进入一处地方,将他放入土窟中,并用泥土塞住洞口。过了一会儿,他听到太乙神使者到来,追捕杜燮,于是打开土窟,杜燮得以出来。
广陵太守陈登患有腹部烦闷胀满、面色发红且不能进食的症状,派人去请华佗。华佗到达后说:“您腹中有虫正在形成,这大概是吃了腥味食物所致。”于是给他汤药服用,随后吐出约三升虫子。这些虫子头都是红色的,半身还是生的肉片状。
古代有个患者,饮食如常,但发病时像发癫狂病一样,面色青黄,小腹胀满如同怀孕。医生诊断其脉象与症状都异常,难以明确主治方法。忽然有一位山间老翁说:“我听说开皇六年,灞桥有患此病的人。这大概是因为三月八日在水边吃芹菜而得的病。有见识的人说:‘这是蛟龙病。’因为龙游在芹菜上,误食而致病。”于是用寒食饧(一种糖稀),每剂五合,服用几次后,吐出一个东西,虽然小但形状像蛟龙,有两个头。那个病人按照这个方法治疗获得了疗效。
金州防御使崔尧封的外甥李言吉,左眼上眼睑突然长了一个小疮,逐渐变大,长得像鸭蛋那么大,根部像琴弦一样细,总是闭着眼睛无法睁开。崔尧封让他喝酒,使他大醉,然后进行切除手术。伤口破开后,里面有一只黄雀飞鸣着逃走了。
世间有一些奇异的疾病,始终无人能知晓。从前吕缙叔担任制诰并掌管颖州时,突然患病,身体不断缩小,无法医治,临终时仅如小儿般大小。古人未曾患过这种病,始终没有人认识它。
元朝末年,四明人吕复,别号沧州翁,精通医道。临川道士萧云泉,眼中看东西都是颠倒的,请吕复治疗,询问病因。萧云泉说:“我曾经大醉,把喝下的酒全部吐出来,熟睡到天亮,于是得了这个病。”吕复诊察他的脉象,左关脉浮而急促,便告诉他说:“饮酒过度并剧烈呕吐,导致上焦气机反复逆乱,致使胆腑位置颠倒,所以看东西都是颠倒的。这不是内因也不是外因,治疗方法应当再次催吐以矫正胆腑的位置。”于是使用藜芦、瓜蒂研成粗末水煎,让他在清晨一次性服用,以吐出为限度,吐完后视物恢复正常。(《九灵山房集》)
The Prefect of Jiaozhou, Du Xie, died from poisoning. Dong Feng administered Taiyi San (Great One Powder) mixed with water into Du Xie's mouth, and after a short while, he revived. Du Xie claimed that when he first died, a carriage door opened directly into a place where he was placed in an earthen pit and sealed with soil. Shortly thereafter, he heard the arrival of the Envoy of Taiyi who came to retrieve Du Xie; thus, the earth pit was opened, and Du Xie emerged.
Chen Deng, the Grand Administrator of Guangling, suffered from abdominal fullness and discomfort, a red face, and inability to eat. He sent for Hua Tuo. Upon arrival, Hua Tuo said, "There are parasites forming in your abdomen, likely caused by consuming raw fish or meat." He then prescribed a decoction, after which Chen Deng vomited approximately three sheng of worms. The heads of these worms were all red, and half their bodies resembled raw minced meat.
In ancient times, there was a patient whose diet remained normal, but upon onset, he exhibited symptoms resembling mania, with a cyan-yellow complexion and lower abdominal distension similar to pregnancy. Physicians found his pulse and symptoms anomalous and difficult to treat. Suddenly, an old man from the mountains said, "I heard that in the sixth year of the Kaihuang era, someone in Baqiao suffered from this illness. It is believed to be contracted from eating celery near water on the eighth day of the third lunar month. Those knowledgeable in such matters stated: 'This is a dragon disease.' Because dragons swim over the celery, accidental ingestion causes the illness." They subsequently used Han Shi Tang (Cold Food Syrup), five ge per dose, taken several times. Afterward, the patient vomited an object small yet resembling a two-headed dragon. Patients following this treatment achieved recovery.
Li Yanji, the nephew of Cui Yaofeng, the Defense Commissioner of Jinzhou, suddenly developed a small sore on the upper eyelid of his left eye. It gradually enlarged to the size of a duck egg, with a root as thin as a string, causing him to keep his eye closed constantly. Cui Yaofeng had him drink alcohol until heavily intoxicated, then performed surgical excision. Once the wound was opened, a yellow sparrow flew out chirping.
There are bizarre diseases in the world that remain inexplicable. In the past, Lü Jinshu, while serving as Zhi Gao and administering Yingzhou, suddenly fell ill. His body continuously shrunk, and despite medical intervention, he could not be cured; at the time of death, he was merely the size of a child. Ancient people never suffered from this ailment, and it remained unrecognized by anyone.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Lü Fu from Siming, courtesy name Cangzhou Weng, was deeply versed in medical arts. Xiao Yunquan, a Daoist priest from Linchuan, consulted Lü Fu regarding his condition of seeing objects upside down (inverted vision). When asked about the cause, Xiao replied, "Once I drank heavily and vomited everything I had consumed, then slept soundly until dawn, after which I contracted this illness." Lü Fu examined his pulse, finding the left Guan position floating and rapid, and informed him, "Excessive drinking followed by severe vomiting has caused chaotic qi movement in the Upper Jiao, leading to the inversion of the Gallbladder organ, hence the inverted vision. This is neither an internal nor external cause; the treatment method should involve inducing vomiting again to correct the position of the gallbladder." Consequently, he prepared Lili (Veratrum Viride Rhizome) and Gudi (Melon Stalk) ground into coarse powder, decocted in water, and instructed the patient to take it all at once in the early morning, stopping when vomiting occurred. After vomiting ceased, his vision returned to normal. (*Jiuling Shanfang Ji*)
