治一切疮疡，即用此法，无有不愈。其法令病患以肘凭几，竖臂腕要直，用篾一条自臂
腕中曲处横纹，男左女右，贴肉量起，直至中指尖尽处截断为则，不量指甲。却用竹杠一条，
令病患脱衣，正身骑定，前后用两人扛起，令病者脚不着地，又令二人扶之，勿令伛偻。却
将前所量臂篾，从竹杠坐处，尾 骨尽处，直贴脊背，量至篾尽处为则，用墨笔点定，此只
是取中，非灸穴也。却用薄篾作则子，量病患中指节，相去两横纹为则，男左女右，截为一
则，就前所点记处两边，各量一则，尽处即是灸穴。两穴各灸五七壮。疽发于左则灸右；疽
发于右则灸左；甚则左右皆灸。盖此二穴，心脉所过之处，凡痈疽皆心火留滞之毒，灸此则
心火流通，而毒散矣。起死回生之功，屡试屡验。
愚按∶前症若毒既解，而肌肉不生，当求其属而补之。

先令病患脱去衣服，以大竹杠一条跨定，令两人徐徐扛起，足要离地五寸许，两傍更以两人扶
定，毋令动摇不稳。却以第一图则子贴定竹杠，从尾闾起，贴脊量至则子尽，以墨点定记之，非
灸穴也，此是取中穴止处。却以第二图取同身寸则，取两寸平折，自中穴量之，以中分取两傍各
一寸，方是灸穴也。
治疗一切疮疡，立即使用这种方法，没有不痊愈的。具体操作是：让患者用手肘支撑在几案上，竖起手臂，手腕部位必须保持笔直。取一条篾片（竹条），从手臂腕部弯曲处的横纹开始，男性取左手，女性取右手，紧贴皮肤量起，一直量到中指尖尽头处截断作为标准长度，不计算指甲部分。
接着取一根竹杠，让患者脱去衣服，端正身体骑跨在竹杠上，前后各用两人抬起，使患者的脚不着地；又令另外两人扶持患者，不要让其弯腰驼背。然后将之前量好的臂长篾片，从竹杠坐落处（尾骨尽头处）开始，直贴脊背向上量，直到篾片尽头处为止，用墨笔点定标记。这只是为了取脊柱的中线位置，并非艾灸穴位。
再取薄篾片制作成“则子”（测量尺），量取患者中指中间一节，以两横纹之间的距离为标准，男性取左手，女性取右手，截断作为一“则”。在这个前一步所点的记号两边，各量取一个“则”的长度，尽头处即是艾灸穴位。两个穴位各灸五到七壮。疽病发于左侧则灸右侧；发于右侧则灸左侧；病情严重则左右两侧都灸。因为这两个穴位是心脉经过的地方，凡是痈疽都是心火滞留之毒，灸此穴则心火流通，毒素自然消散。其起死回生的功效，屡试屡验。
我按语：上述病症如果毒邪已解，但肌肉不生，应当寻找所属脏腑进行补益。
第一图说明：
男性用左手，女性用右手，先弯曲中指，用薄篾片量取中间一节，两端横纹尽头的距离定为“同身一寸”，作为制作测量尺的标准。
第二图说明：
先从男性左手、女性右手的腕部弯曲横纹处开始，用一条薄篾片量至中指齐肉尽头处，不量指爪，以此长度为标准剪断。
第三图说明：
先让患者脱去衣服，用一根大竹杠跨定，令两人慢慢抬起，双脚离地约五寸，旁边再派两人扶持固定，不要使其动摇不稳。然后用第一图制作的测量尺贴在竹杠上，从尾闾（尾骨端）开始，沿脊柱向上量至测量尺尽头，用墨点标记记录，这不是艾灸穴位，这是确定中线止点的位置。再用第二图取得的“同身寸”测量尺，取两寸长度对折，从中线点向两边各量一寸，这才是真正的艾灸穴位。
To treat all sores and ulcers, immediately apply this method; there is no case that does not heal. The procedure is as follows: Instruct the patient to rest their elbow on a table, raise their arm, and ensure the wrist remains straight. Take a strip of bamboo (bamboo shaving), starting from the transverse crease at the bend of the wrist, measuring along the skin for males on the left hand and females on the right hand, up to the tip of the middle finger. Cut the strip at this point to serve as the standard length, excluding the fingernail.
Next, take a bamboo pole. Have the patient remove their clothing and sit upright astride the pole. Two people should lift the pole from the front and back so that the patient's feet do not touch the ground, while two others support the patient to prevent them from stooping or bending forward. Then, place the previously measured bamboo strip against the spine, starting from the sitting area of the pole (the end of the coccyx) and extending upwards along the back until the end of the strip. Mark this point with an ink pen. This step is merely to locate the midline of the spine, not to identify an acupoint for moxibustion.
Subsequently, make a "zezi" (measuring gauge) from a thin bamboo strip by measuring the middle segment of the patient's middle finger, using the distance between the two transverse creases as one unit ("ze"). For males, use the left hand; for females, the right hand. Cut this segment to form one unit. On either side of the previously marked midline point, measure one unit outward in each direction. The endpoints are the moxibustion acupoints. Apply five to seven moxa cones (zhuang) to each acupoint. If the carbuncle appears on the left, moxa the right side; if on the right, moxa the left side. In severe cases, moxa both sides. These two points lie along the pathway of the Heart meridian. All sores and carbuncles are caused by toxic stagnation of Heart fire. Moxibustion here promotes the free flow of Heart fire, thereby dispersing the toxin. This method has repeatedly proven effective in saving lives.
My commentary: In the aforementioned condition, if the pathogenic toxin has been resolved but the flesh fails to regenerate, one should seek the corresponding organ system and apply tonification.
Figure 1 Description:
Males use the left hand, females use the right hand. First, flex the middle finger. Use a thin bamboo strip to measure the middle segment of the finger. The distance between the two transverse creases at the ends of this segment is defined as "one body-inch" (tongshen cun), which serves as the standard for making the measuring gauge.
Figure 2 Description:
Start from the transverse crease at the wrist bend of the male's left hand or female's right hand. Use a thin bamboo strip to measure up to the fleshy end of the middle finger, excluding the nail. Cut the strip at this length to serve as the standard.
Figure 3 Description:
First, have the patient remove their clothing. Position a large bamboo pole across the patient. Two people slowly lift the pole so that the feet are suspended approximately five inches above the ground. Two other people stand by to support and stabilize the patient, preventing any shaking or instability. Then, place the measuring gauge made in Figure 1 against the bamboo pole, starting from the weili (tailbone end), and measure upwards along the spine to the end of the gauge. Mark this position with ink. This is not the moxibustion acupoint but rather the midpoint reference. Next, take the "body-inch" gauge from Figure 2, fold it to represent two inches, and from the midpoint mark, measure one inch to each side. These lateral points are the actual moxibustion acupoints.
