昔有好食猪羊脑，期年手足柔弱不能行，遂成瘫痪。按《内则》云∶豚去脑，鱼去乙，鳖
去丑。郑氏云∶是皆不利于人也。《左传》云∶晋候梦楚子伏己而 其脑子，犯曰∶吉。吾
且柔之矣。杜预注云∶脑所以柔物，令人熟皮必用猪脑，欲其柔也，乃知《内则》、《左传》之言
有足征矣。
一农夫夏天昼卧于地，熟寐之间，蜈蚣入其口，既寤，觉喉仲介介如梗状，咯不能出，咽
不能下，痛痒不定，甚为苦楚。一医用鸡卵劈破入酒调匀顿服，仍以大黄为末，和香油饮之，顷
刻泻出蜈蚣，尚活动不死。盖蜈蚣被鸡卵拘挛其足，不能行动，以利药下之，故从大便而出。
鸡性好啄蜈蚣，亦取相制之意。
一富家子弟，被鸡骨哽喉，百方莫能治。一叟见云∶我有功术，但用手法取之，不劳药饵。
急取新绵、白糖二物，将绵裹糖如梅大，其子咽下入喉间，留绵一半于外，时时以手牵掣，待
喉中作痒，忽然痰涎壅出，其骨粘于绵上而出，遂愈。
钱仲阳以《颅囟》著名，治一产妇因事大恐而病，病虽愈，唯目张不闭，人皆不能晓。问
于仲阳，曰∶病
名胆衡，煮郁李仁酒饮之，使醉即愈。所以然者，目系内连肝胆，恐则气结，胆衡不下，郁
李仁可去结，随酒入胆，结去胆下，目则能闭矣。如言而效。
从前有个人喜欢吃猪脑和羊脑，吃了一年之后，手脚软弱无力，无法行走，最终导致了瘫痪。查阅《礼记·内则》记载：“处理小猪要去掉脑髓，处理鱼要去掉‘乙’（指鱼鳔或鱼胆），处理鳖要去掉‘丑’（指鳖尿）。”郑玄注释说：这些都是对人体不利的食物。《左传》记载：晋侯梦见楚王趴在他身上咬他的脑子，醒来后占卜说是吉兆，说：“我即将使他软化/屈服。”杜预注解道：脑髓具有软化物体的特性，让人皮肤变软必须用猪脑，就是希望它变得柔软，由此可知《内则》和《左传》中的说法是有充分依据的。
有一个农夫在夏天白天躺在地上，熟睡之间，蜈蚣爬进了他的嘴里。醒来后，他感觉喉咙里异物感强烈，像被梗住一样，咳不出来，咽不下去，疼痛和瘙痒不定，非常痛苦。一位医生将鸡蛋打破，加入酒调匀让他一次服下，同时让患者服用大黄粉末，混合香油喝下去。片刻之后，患者排便排出了蜈蚣，蜈蚣仍然活着且活动。这是因为蜈蚣被鸡蛋清束缚了足部，导致无法行动，再用泻药将其排出，所以从大便而出。鸡天性喜欢啄食蜈蚣，这里也是取相克制约的意思。
有一位富家子弟，被鸡骨头卡住喉咙，用了很多方法都无法治疗。一位老翁看见后说：“我有办法，只需用手取出，不需要用药。”急忙取来新棉花和白糖两样东西，将糖包在棉花里，大小如梅子，让患者吞入喉间，留一半棉花在外面，不时用手牵拉，等到喉咙发痒时，突然痰涎涌出，骨头粘在棉花上被带出来，于是痊愈。
钱乙（字仲阳）因精通《颅囟经》而闻名，曾治疗一位产妇，因受到极大惊吓而生病。病虽然好了，但眼睛睁着闭不上，别人都不明白原因。询问钱乙，他说：“这个病名叫胆衡（一种因惊恐导致胆气失调、眼睑开合失司的病证）。煮郁李仁酒给患者饮用，使其醉倒即可痊愈。之所以这样，是因为目系内部连接肝胆，恐惧会导致气机郁结，胆气不能下行。郁李仁可以消散郁结，随着酒力进入胆腑，郁结去除，胆气下降，眼睛就能闭合了。”按照他的话去做，果然见效。
In the past, there was a person who had a fondness for eating pig and sheep brains. After consuming them for a year, his hands and feet became weak and flaccid, rendering him unable to walk, eventually leading to paralysis. According to the "Nei Ze" (Inner Regulations) of the *Book of Rites*: "When preparing a young pig, remove its brain; when preparing fish, remove the 'Yi' (referring to the swim bladder or gallbladder); when preparing a turtle, remove the 'Chou' (referring to turtle urine)." Zheng Xuan commented: "These are all detrimental to human health." The *Zuo Zhuan* records: "The Marquis of Jin dreamed that the King of Chu lay upon him and bit his brain. Upon waking, he divined it as an auspicious omen, saying, 'I shall soon soften/subdue him.' Du Yu annotated: 'Brain possesses the property of softening objects. To make human skin soft, one must use pig brain, desiring it to become pliable.' From this, we know that the statements in "Nei Ze" and *Zuo Zhuan* are well substantiated.
A farmer lay on the ground during the summer day. While in a deep sleep, a centipede entered his mouth. Upon waking, he felt a foreign body sensation in his throat, as if obstructed, unable to cough it out or swallow it down. The pain and itching were variable, causing him great suffering. A physician cracked an egg, mixed it with wine, and instructed the patient to drink it in one go. Simultaneously, the patient was given powder of Rhubarb (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) mixed with sesame oil. Within a short while, the patient defecated the centipede, which was still alive and moving. This occurred because the egg white constricted the centipede's legs, preventing movement, and the purgative facilitated its expulsion through the large intestine. Chickens naturally peck at centipedes; here, the principle of mutual restraint is applied.
A young man from a wealthy family had a chicken bone lodged in his throat. Numerous treatments failed. An old man observed this and said, "I have a technique; I will extract it manually without using medicine." He quickly took fresh cotton wool and white sugar. He wrapped the sugar in the cotton to the size of a plum and instructed the patient to swallow it into the throat, leaving half of the cotton outside. By periodically pulling the cotton with his hand, he waited until the throat became itchy. Suddenly, phlegm and saliva gushed out, and the bone adhered to the cotton and was extracted, resulting in a cure.
Qian Yi (courtesy name Zhongyang) gained fame for his expertise in the *Luxin Jing* (Cranial Swaddling Classic). He treated a puerperal woman who fell ill due to extreme fright. Although her illness subsided, her eyes remained open and could not close, a phenomenon no one could explain. When asked about it, Qian Yi said, "This disease is named Dan Heng (a condition characterized by imbalance of Gallbladder Qi leading to inability to close the eyelids, often caused by fear). Decocting Semen Pruni Armeniacae (Semen Armeniacae Amarum) in wine and drinking it until intoxication will cure it. The reason is that the visual system connects internally with the Liver and Gallbladder. Fright causes Qi stagnation, and Gallbladder Qi fails to descend. Semen Pruni Armeniacae can resolve stagnation. Accompanied by wine entering the Gallbladder, once the stagnation is resolved and Gallbladder Qi descends, the eyes can close." Following his advice, the treatment proved effective.
