Elderly individuals, or those suffering from carbuncles and sores (superficial purulent infections), who present with dry and hard stools, will experience immediate relief after taking Si Ren Tang (Four Seeds Decoction).
Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) 1 liang is decocted in 1 sheng of aged wine; taking it once in one dose leads to recovery.
Niu Shetou Cao Gen (Root of *Beta vulgaris* var. *crassa*, also known as Ye Hong Cai Tou / Wild Red Beet Root, or Tu Cai Gen / Bare Vegetable Root), which is most abundant near ponds, is taken by decocting the root and drinking the soup as tea, or using the soup to cook porridge, continuing until cured. Alternatively, three raw Bai Guo (Ginkgo Seeds) are mashed and taken with boiling tofu milk.
In Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill), Ze Xie (Rhizoma Alismatis) is removed, and Long Gu (Fossilized Bones) 3 qian is added, finely ground and processed by water flotation method; Lian Xu (Stamen Nelumbinis) 1 liang, Qian Shi (Semen Euryales) 2 liang, and Xian Jiao (Colla Corii Asini prepared on thread) 4 liang are stir-fried with Mu Li Fen (Oyster Shell Powder) until pearl-like; all are ground into powder together, mixed with honey to form pills. Four qian are taken each morning and evening, delivered with a decoction of Lu Han Cao (Herba Hypoxidis).
Ding Xiang (Caryophylli Flos), Xiong Jing (Realgar), Cang Zhu (Rhizoma Atractylodis Chinensis), and Zhu Sha (Cinnabaris) are ground into powder in equal proportions. Chan Su (Toad Venom) is sliced in equal proportion, soaked in wine, ground into a paste, and mixed with the aforementioned powders to form pills the size of mustard seeds. After sun-drying and storing in bottles, seven pills are taken at a time, swallowed with warm tea, leading to immediate revival.
A yellowish complexion with abdominal distension but no diarrhea, accompanied by vomiting easily after eating, is termed Leng Gan (Cold Infantile Malnutrition). Seven Ding Xiang (Caryophylli Flos) are ground into powder, mixed with human milk, steamed three or four times, and taken with ginger soup for cure. If both vomiting and diarrhea occur, Ju Hong (Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae) and Ding Xiang (Caryophylli Flos) in equal proportions are ground into powder, formed into honey pills, and taken with rice soup. If there is no diarrhea but frequent unceasing vomiting, Jiang Ban Xia (Rhizoma Pinelliae Preparatum) powder is added, and pills are formed with wheat starch paste, taken with ginger soup.
Take thirty Ji Nei Jin (Endothelium Corneum Gigeriae Galli), avoiding contact with menstruating women; roast them on tiles until odorless, preserving their medicinal properties, and grind into fine powder. Then, take 4 liang of fried Che Qian Zi (Plantaginis Semen), grind into powder, mix the two substances evenly, dissolve Yi Tang (Saccharum Maltosum) and feed to the patient; recovery occurs upon finishing the food. Avoid roasted beans, fried oils, and hard, clumped foods. If treatment is delayed and affects the eyes, boil a frog (Tian Ji) in plain water, add a little minced ginger, eat blandly, and continue until cured.
For all cases of Chong Zheng (Parasitic Diseases), treatment should be differentiated. To treat red worms (e.g., roundworms), decoct two Wu Mei (Fructus Mume) and thirty Hua Jiao (Zanthoxyli Pericarpium) in water and drink. Thereafter, take 6 liang of Bing Lang (Arecae Semen), Hei Chou (Semen Kochiae Nigrum), and Bai Chou (Semen Kochiae Album) each 2 liang, grind into fine powder, take 2 qian each time mixed with brown sugar. Infants take half a qian, ensuring complete expulsion of parasites. To treat Rou Die Cun Chong (intestinal parasites), steam Shen Qu (Cedrelae Cortex) and Qing Pi (Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae Viride) thoroughly, sun-dry, steam again, and take 1 qian each time mixed with white sugar; infants take 6 fen, causing the parasites to die off naturally. Master Ma stated: This method must only be used when parasitic disease is definitively diagnosed.
