金寄闲的母亲在暑天患痢疾，小腹部拘急窘迫，胸膈部胀满膨胀，口舌干燥焦渴。右寸、关脉象洪大滑利，左脉弦，这是气机郁滞、食积导致的痢疾。先用木香槟榔丸疏通下行，轻微腹泻一两次后，因为口渴吃了一片西瓜，随即出现恶心并呕吐。昨天大便通畅后，胸膈感到宽舒畅快，于是吃了一碗饭，导致腹部饱闷，头晕欲吐，所吐出的都是痰涎。于是用温胆汤加减来治疗。半夏四钱，枳实一钱五分，竹茹二钱，橘红、茯苓各一钱，甘草五分，姜黄连八分，生姜五片，水煎服。喝一次后胸膈舒畅，能够躺下睡觉，恶心立刻消失，痢疾也随之停止。
徐中宇的妻子，出汗如雨，神志昏沉迷糊，双手不知该放在哪里（形容极度不适、无处安放），胸部需要人踩踏稍微缓解片刻都不能放松，稍微放松则昏沉迷糊更加严重，气息急促无法呼吸，稍微靠近风就会呕吐、恶心、晕厥。给予九龙镇心丹一丸，服用后症状稍定，过一会儿又发作，这才知道胸喉中有异物阻塞且疼痛，汤水难以进入，即使是药也只能吞下一口，多了就无法咽下。于是给她苏合香丸，晕厥很快停止，心痛才开始显现。昨天六脉都伏匿不见，今天早上六部脉象都出现了，只有左寸脉短涩，知道她的疼痛是由瘀血引起的。使用玄胡索、桃仁、牡丹皮、丹参、青皮、当归、香附。当天夜里仍然晕厥一次，是因为疼痛剧烈所致。再次给予玄胡索、牡丹皮、桃仁、丹参、香附、青皮、乌梅、人参、贝母、桂枝、赤芍药，服用后疼痛减轻大半。于是自称心虚有热，头晕目眩。加入山栀仁。平时多有梦交的症状，最近更严重，这是因为心虚的缘故。用人参、石斛、丹参、贝母、当归、白芍药、酸枣仁、酒黄连、香附，调理后完全康复。
Jin Jixian’s mother suffered from dysentery in the summer. She experienced urgency and discomfort in the lower abdomen, distension and fullness in the chest and diaphragm, and a parched, dry mouth and tongue. The pulse at the right Cun and Guan positions was surging and slippery, while the left pulse was wiry. This indicated dysentery caused by Qi stagnation and food accumulation. Initially, Muxiang Binglang Wan (Aucklandiae and Arecae Semen Pill) was administered to promote downward movement and unblock stagnation. After mild defecation one or two times, due to thirst, she ate a slice of watermelon, which immediately triggered nausea and vomiting. After a normal bowel movement yesterday, her chest and diaphragm felt relieved and open. She then consumed a bowl of rice, leading to abdominal fullness and oppression, dizziness, and a desire to vomit; what she vomited was phlegm and saliva. Therefore, Wendan Tang (Warm the Gallbladder Decoction) was modified for treatment. Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) 4 qian, Zhishi (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus) 1.5 qian, Zhuru (Bambusae Caulis in Taeniam) 2 qian, Juhong (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Rubrum) and Fuling (Poria) each 1 qian, Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) 0.5 qian, Jiang Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma processed with ginger) 0.8 fen, Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) 5 slices. Decocted in water and taken orally. After one dose, her chest and diaphragm became comfortable, she was able to lie down and sleep, the nausea disappeared instantly, and the dysentery ceased shortly thereafter.
Xu Zhongyu’s wife sweated profusely like rain, felt dizzy and confused, and could not find a comfortable position for her hands. Her chest required someone to step on it for slight relief, and if this pressure was released even slightly, her dizziness and confusion worsened significantly. She had rapid breathing and difficulty catching her breath; approaching wind induced nausea, vomiting, and syncope. One pill of Jiulong Zhenxin Dan (Nine Dragons Calming the Heart Pill) was given. After ingestion, symptoms stabilized slightly, but recurred after a short while. It was then realized that there was an obstruction causing pain in the chest and throat, making it difficult to swallow liquids or solids; only one mouthful of medicine could be swallowed, more could not go down. Suhe Xiang Wan (Styrax Pill) was then administered, and the syncope stopped quickly, revealing the onset of heart pain. Yesterday, all six pulses were hidden (Fu pulse); this morning, all six positions showed pulses, except the left Cun position which was short and choppy, indicating the pain was due to Blood stasis. Yanhusuo (Corydalis Rhizoma), Tao Ren (Persicae Semen), Mudanpi (Moutan Cortex), Danshen (Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Qingpi (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus Pericarpium), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), and Xiangfu (Cyperi Rhizoma) were used. That night, she still had one episode of syncope due to extreme pain. Yanhusuo, Mudanpi, Tao Ren, Danshen, Xiangfu, Qingpi, Wumei (Mume Fructus), Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Beimu (Fritillariae Thunbergii Bulbus), Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus), and Chishao (Paeoniae Radix Rubra) were prescribed again. After taking this, the pain reduced by more than half. She then reported feeling Heart deficiency with Heat, and dizziness. Zhiren (Gardeniae Fructus) was added. She usually suffered from nocturnal emissions/dreams involving sexual intercourse, which had recently worsened due to Heart deficiency. Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Shihu (Dendrobii Caulis), Danshen (Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Beimu (Fritillariae Thunbergii Bulbus), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Suanzaoren (Ziziphi Spinosae Semen), Jiu Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma processed with wine), and Xiangfu (Cyperi Rhizoma) were used for regulation, leading to complete recovery.
