治入井冢闷冒方。
凡五月六月,井中及深冢中皆有伏气,入中令人郁闷杀人。如其必须入中者,先以鸡鸭
杂鸟毛投之,直下至底,则无伏气。毛若徘徊不下,则有毒瓦斯也。亦可纳生六畜等居中,若
有毒,其物即死。必须入,不得已,当先以酒,若无,以苦酒数升,先洒井冢中四边畔,停
少时,然后可入。若觉中有此气,郁闷奄奄欲死者,还取其中水洒人面,令饮之;又以灌其
头及身体,即活。若无水,取他水用也。
治自缢死方。
傍人见自经者,未可辄割绳,必可登物令及其头,即悬牵头发,举其身起,令绳微得宽
也;别使一人,坚塞两耳,勿令耳气通;又别使一人,以葱叶针其鼻中,吹令通;又别使一
人,啮死人两踵根,待其苏活乃止也。
又方
治自经死,慎勿割绳也。绳卒断,气顿泄去,便死,不可复救也。徐徐抱死人,渐渐揉
令绳渐宽也,然后解下之。心下尚温,取鸡雌雄无在,拔翅毛去,勿令得飞也,置地逐之,
竟宅走鸡,令极,久久者其冠当黑,止,急以尺物拔死人口开,便挛鸡头上割鸡冠断取血,
临死人口中,至喉咽气便通。
治自缢死方。
以 衣若氍KT 浓毡物覆其口鼻抑之,令两人极力吹其两耳,一炊顷可活也。
治服金屑取死未绝者方。
知觉是服金者,可以一两水银,泻其口中,摇动令入喉咽里,便微接死人如坐形,令水
银下流,金则消成泥,须臾从下部出也。未出之顷,死人亦苏醒矣。可三过服之,便活也。
治疗因进入井或墓穴导致胸闷昏厥的方剂。
凡是五月、六月,井中和深墓中都有伏匿的寒气(指积聚在深处的阴冷之气),进入其中会使人郁闷甚至致死。如果必须进入其中,先将鸡、鸭等杂鸟的羽毛投入井中或墓中,让羽毛一直沉到底部,这样就说明没有伏气。如果羽毛徘徊不沉,则说明有毒瓦斯存在。也可以将活的家畜等动物放入中间,如果有毒,动物就会死亡。如果必须进入,实在没有办法,应当先用酒,如果没有酒,就用几升醋,先洒在井或墓的四周边缘,停留一小会儿,然后才可以进入。如果感觉其中有这种气,感到郁闷气息微弱快要死去时,取其中的水洒在人脸上,让人饮用;又用这些水灌淋头部和身体,人就能复活。如果没有井中的水,取其他的水使用也可以。
治疗自缢未死者的方剂。
旁人看见上吊的人,不要立刻割断绳子,一定要找东西垫高让其能够到头部,立即抓住头发,抬起身体,使绳子稍微松动一些;另外让一个人紧紧堵住双耳,不要让耳朵里的空气相通;又让另一个人用葱叶针扎鼻孔,吹气使其通畅;又让另一个人咬死人的脚后跟根部,等到其苏醒才停止。
另一个方子:
治疗自缢死亡,千万不要割断绳子。绳子突然断裂,气瞬间泄出,人就死了,无法再救。慢慢抱住死者,逐渐揉动使绳子渐渐变松,然后解开。如果心口尚且温暖,选取公鸡或母鸡均可,拔掉翅膀上的毛,不让它能飞,在地上追赶它,直到鸡跑完整个宅院,跑得极累,很久之后它的鸡冠会变黑,停下来,急忙用尺子之类的物体撬开死者的嘴,立刻在鸡头上割下鸡冠取血,滴入死者口中,直到喉咙有气息流动。
治疗自缢死亡的方剂。
用厚衣服或者厚毡物覆盖住死者的口鼻并压迫,让两个人极力向双耳吹气,一顿饭的工夫就可以救活。
治疗服用金屑中毒但未断气的方剂。
知道是服用了金屑的人,可以用一两水银,倒入其口中,摇动使其进入咽喉里,便微微接引死者呈坐姿,让水银向下流,金子就会溶解成泥,一会儿从下部排出。在排出之前,死者也会苏醒。可以重复三次服用,就能复活。
Formula for treating fainting and suffocation caused by entering wells or tombs.
During the fifth and sixth months, there is latent cold qi (latent yin-cold energy accumulated in deep spaces) in wells and deep tombs. Entering these spaces causes severe oppression and can be fatal. If entry is necessary, first throw feathers from chickens, ducks, or other birds into the well or tomb until they reach the bottom; this indicates the absence of latent qi. If the feathers hover and do not sink, it indicates the presence of toxic vapors. Alternatively, place live domestic animals inside; if toxic, the animals will die. If entry is absolutely necessary, one should first use wine. If wine is unavailable, use several sheng (a unit of volume) of vinegar, sprinkle it around the edges of the well or tomb, wait for a short while, and then enter. If one feels oppressed by this qi, with breath becoming faint as if dying, take water from the well/tomb, splash it on the person's face, and have them drink it; also pour it over their head and body to revive them. If well/tomb water is unavailable, other water may be used.
Formula for treating self-hanging where death has not yet occurred.
When bystanders see someone hanging themselves, do not cut the rope immediately. Instead, place an object underneath so that one can reach the head, grasp the hair, lift the body slightly to loosen the rope. Have another person tightly block both ears to prevent air passage through the ear canals. Have another person insert a scallion leaf into the nostrils and blow to clear the airway. Have another person bite the heels of the deceased until they regain consciousness.
Another formula:
For treating self-hanging, do not cut the rope. If the rope breaks suddenly, the vital qi escapes instantly, leading to irreversible death. Slowly embrace the deceased and gently massage to gradually loosen the rope before untying it. If the chest remains warm, select a rooster or hen, remove wing feathers to prevent flight, and chase it around the house until it is exhausted and its comb turns black after a long period. Stop the chicken, quickly use a ruler-like object to pry open the deceased's mouth, cut off the chicken's comb to obtain blood, and drip it into the deceased's mouth until breathing resumes in the throat.
Formula for treating self-hanging.
Cover the deceased's mouth and nose with thick clothing or felt and press down. Have two people blow forcefully into both ears. The person can be revived within the time it takes to cook a meal.
Formula for treating poisoning by gold dust where life is not yet extinct.
If it is known that gold dust was ingested, administer one liang (approx. 37g) of mercury into the mouth, shaking it to ensure it enters the throat. Assist the deceased into a sitting position to allow the mercury to flow downward. The gold will dissolve into mud and pass out through the lower orifices shortly thereafter. The deceased will regain consciousness before the substance is expelled. This treatment may be repeated three times to achieve recovery.
