病源蛊注者，住也，言其病迟滞停住，死，又注易旁人也，蛊者是聚蛇蛊之类，以器皿
盛之，令其自相啖食，余有一个存者为蛊也，而能变化，人有造作钦事之者，以毒害于他，
多于饮食内而行用之，中之者心闷腹痛，其食五脏尽则死，有缓有急，急者仓猝，十数日便
死，缓者延引岁月，游走腹内，常气力羸惫，骨节沉重，发则心腹烦懊而痛，令人所食之物
，亦变化为蛊，渐侵食腑脏尽而死，死则病流注染着旁人，故为蛊注也。（出第二十四卷中）

病源中的蛊注，指的是病邪停滞不动。所谓“迟滞停住”，是指病情进展缓慢；而“注”又有传染旁人的意思。“蛊”是指聚集蛇、蛊等毒物，放入器皿中，让它们互相吞食，最后剩下一个存活的便称为“蛊”。这种蛊能够变化形态，有人制造蛊用于害人，通常将其混入饮食中使用。被蛊毒侵袭的人会出现心胸烦闷、腹痛等症状，如果五脏被侵蚀殆尽就会死亡。病情有急缓之分：急性的发作仓促，十几天内就会死亡；慢性的则拖延岁月，病邪在腹内游走，患者常感体力虚弱疲惫，骨节沉重。发病时心腹烦乱懊恼且疼痛，使人吃下的食物也仿佛变为蛊毒，逐渐侵蚀脏腑直至死亡。死后病气会流注并感染旁人，因此称为“蛊注”。（出自第二十四卷）
范汪治疗蛊注引起的各种疾病，以及瘕积聚（腹内结块）、身体消瘦如削、大小便不通利、突然遭受恶风侵袭、腹部胀满、淋沥如水般相互传染、一家老小乃至男女外孙都受牵连，即使是医生也难以治愈的情况，制定了由十七味药组成的紫参丸方。

以上药物捣碎过筛，用蜂蜜调和制成丸剂，每次服用如小豆大小的一丸，用温水送服，每日三次，老人和儿童酌情减量。若被蜂蝎蜇伤，将药涂于患处，效果极佳。忌食羊肉和冷水。（另一版本没有虾蟆，而有干姜四分，出自第十四卷）

The etiology of *Gu Zhu* (Gu Infestation) refers to the stagnation and immobility of pathogenic factors. The term "stagnation" implies that the disease progresses slowly, while "Zhu" also denotes the transmission of the disease to others. "Gu" refers to the accumulation of venomous creatures such as snakes and insects, placed in a vessel to devour each other until only one survivor remains, which is then called "Gu". This Gu can transform its form. Individuals who create Gu for malicious purposes often administer it through food and drink. Those infected experience chest oppression, abdominal pain, and if the five Zang organs are completely eroded, death ensues. The condition varies in acuity: acute cases develop rapidly, leading to death within ten days; chronic cases drag on over years, with the pathogen wandering within the abdomen. Patients suffer from general weakness, fatigue, and heavy joints. Upon onset, they experience mental restlessness, irritability, and pain. It is believed that ingested food transforms into Gu, gradually consuming the viscera until death. After death, the pathogenic qi flows and infects others, hence the name "Gu Zhu". (From Volume 24)
Fan Wang's treatment for various diseases caused by Gu Zhu, including *Jia Ji Ju* (abdominal masses), emaciation of flesh and bone, difficulty in urination and defecation, sudden exposure to evil wind, abdominal distension, dripping sensations resembling water flow, and the spread of illness throughout households affecting men, women, and grandchildren beyond medical cure, prescribes the Zi Shen Wan (Purple Ginseng Pill) formula consisting of seventeen ingredients.
Zi Shen (Codonopsis Radix or similar, literal: Purple Root), Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma, washed), Li Lu (Veratri Rhizoma), Dai Zhe Shi (Haematitum), Jie Geng (Platycodonis Radix), Bai Wei (Cynanchi Atrati Radix), Rou Cong Rong (Cistanche Caulis), each at three fen; Shi Gao (Gypsum Fibrosum) at one fen; Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) at one fen; Mu Li (Ostreae Concha, calcined) at one fen; Dan Shen (Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix) at one fen; Xia Ma Hui (Bufo Skin Ash); Wu Tou (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, processed) at four fen; Ye Lang Du (Stellerae Radix) at one fen.
Pulverize and sieve the above herbs, mix with honey to form pills. Take one pill the size of a small bean, dissolved in water, three times daily. Dosage for elderly and children should be adjusted accordingly. For stings from bees or scorpions, apply topically for excellent results. Avoid mutton and cold water. (Another version excludes Bufo Skin Ash and includes Gan Jiang [Zingiberis Rhizoma] at four fen; From Volume 14).
The Xiong Huang Wan (Realgar Pill) from the *Duan Ju* text treats Gu Zhu characterized by edema of the four limbs, wasting of skin and muscle, cough and counterflow qi, abdominal distension resembling water retention, leakage/diarrhea, and the transmission of disease to family members after death. This formula is also known as the Gu Zhang (Gu Distension) Formula.
Xiong Huang (Realgar, pulverized), Ba Dou (Crotonis Fructus), Mang Cao (Illicii Anisi Stellati Herba, roasted), Gui Jiu (Podophylli Peltati Rhizoma), each at four fen; Wu Gong (Scolopendra, three pieces, roasted).

The Jiao Yu Pi San (Shark Skin Powder) from the *Ji Yan* text treats Gui Zhu and Gu Zhu, where toxic vapors change unpredictably.
