许元林先生方。乙卯年七月，仆尝治一妇人咳嗽不已，服诸药无效，渐成劳瘵。求余诊
之，六脉濡弱。以愚考之，此是血弱，又因忧戚太过而成斯疾。合用当归等药治之必愈。遂
先用《古今录验》橘皮汤，空心服苏子降气汤，后用金钗煎、熟地黄丸、当归丸调理得安。
又治一妇人，时行感热咳嗽，遂用小柴胡汤去人参、姜、枣，只加北五味子，煎服愈。

以上药材切碎成粗末，每次服用三钱。加水一盏半，生姜三片，大枣两枚，乌梅半个，煎煮至一盏量，临睡前温服。
我每次使用此方都无效，于是加入百合、贝母（去心）、半夏曲、款冬花各一两，服用后效果很好。
治疗男子、女子肺胃虚寒，久咳不止，气喘急促、胸中满闷，咳嗽且痰涎多，腹部和胁肋胀满，腰背疲倦疼痛；或是虚劳引起的冷嗽，咳吐带血的痰；以及多年或近期的一切喘咳疾病，其他药物无效的，一并治疗。

以上药材切碎，每次服用三钱。加水一盏半，生姜三片，乌梅半个，煎煮至八分量的药液，饭后，临睡前慢慢热服。
这是许元林先生的方子。乙卯年七月，我曾治疗一位妇人，咳嗽不止，服用各种药物无效，逐渐发展成劳瘵（肺结核类消耗性疾病）。请求我为她诊脉，六脉濡弱。据我考察，这是因为血虚，又因过度忧愁悲伤而患上此病。应当用当归等药物治疗，必定痊愈。于是先用《古今录验》中的橘皮汤，空腹服用苏子降气汤，之后用金钗煎、熟地黄丸、当归丸进行调理，最终得以安宁。
又治疗一位妇人，患时行感热咳嗽，于是用小柴胡汤去掉人参、生姜、大枣，只加入北五味子，煎服后痊愈。

The above herbs are cut into coarse powder. Each dose is 3 qian. Add 1.5 zhan of water, 3 slices of fresh ginger, 2 dates, and half a smoked plum. Decoct until 1 zhan remains. Take warm before retiring.
I found this prescription ineffective when I used it, so I added Bai He (Lilii Bulbus), Bei Mu (Fritillariae Cirrhosae Bulbus, heart removed), Ban Xia Qu (Pinelliae Fermentatum), and Kuan Dong Hua (Farfarae Flos), each 1 liang. It proved highly effective.
It treats men and women with deficiency-cold of the Lung and Stomach, chronic cough that does not cease, panting and shortness of breath with chest fullness, cough with abundant saliva/phlegm, abdominal and hypochondriac distension, and fatigue/pain in the waist and back; or cold cough due to deficiency-labor, coughing up bloody sputum; as well as all kinds of chronic or recent wheezing and coughing diseases where other medicines have failed. It treats all these conditions.

The above herbs are cut. Each dose is 3 qian. Add 1.5 zhan of water, 3 slices of fresh ginger, and half a smoked plum. Decoct until 0.8 zhan remains. Take slowly while hot after meals and before retiring.
This is a formula from Mr. Xu Yuanlin. In July of the Yimao year, I treated a woman who had incessant coughing which was unresponsive to various medicines, gradually developing into Lao Zhai (consumptive disease resembling tuberculosis). Upon examination, her six pulses were soft and weak. Based on my analysis, this was caused by blood deficiency compounded by excessive sorrow and grief. Treatment with Dang Gui (Angelica Sinensis Radix) and other herbs would surely cure it. Thus, I first administered Ju Pi Tang (Tangerine Peel Decoction) from *Gu Jin Lu Yan*, followed by Su Zi Jiang Qi Tang (Perilla Seed Decoction for Descending Qi) taken on an empty stomach, and subsequently regulated her condition with Jin Chai Jian (Gold Orchid Decoction), Shu Di Huang Wan (Prepared Rehmannia Pill), and Dang Gui Wan (Angelica Pill), leading to recovery.
I also treated a woman suffering from epidemic heat-induced cough. I used Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction), removing Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens), and Da Zao (Jujubae Fructus), adding only Bei Wu Wei Zi (Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus). She recovered after decoction and administration.
*Gu Jin Lu Yan* Ju Pi Tang (Tangerine Peel Decoction): A formula for treating Cold Damage (Shang Han) in spring and winter, and cold-damp cough in autumn and summer, characterized by sounds in the throat, rebellious Qi failing to descend, and headache.
