接骨方
涂蔚生曰∶小儿最好搬物上高,故其跌打折骨之事亦最多。方书接骨之法本繁,然非系珍贵难购,亦多系乡
间仓猝不易辨者。欲求其简而易辨,平而最效之法,颇非易易。余在正阳时,有宋姓者,施接骨丹,远近多往
求之,颇着巨效。然其对于此方之保守秘密,决不肯轻易示人。余以多方求之,始悉其方为锅烟。(药名百草
霜)及砖头灰也。余以深恨中国此种无意识之严守秘密,阻碍医学进步,不能使全国民众,得其利益。谨将此法
书出,以为民众及医士者创。其法分未断者与已断者二种。未断者,用磨下极细过罗之砖头(以当窑门口之经
火头上者为尤佳)灰及锅烟,各样一岁一分,黄酒冲服,尽量出汗。已断者,加花蜘蛛,一岁一个,与砖头灰、
锅烟,一并用黄酒冲服。但隔日者,须先用全当归一岁一分,黄酒冲服,后服锅烟及砖头灰,自然接合矣。
治疯狗咬方
涂蔚生曰∶疯狗之毒最剧,其中人也亦最烈,患之者既多。若无良方而治之者,每主张以毒攻毒,甚非平
易之治。余得人参败毒散加地榆、紫竹根法,试之者屡矣,而收效势若桴鼓,洵为珍奇之治也。

涂蔚生曰∶如无紫竹根,或他种竹根多用之亦可。服后既无疼痛便血尿血之苦,又无忌风、忌过河、忌食狗
肉之禁。诚平易之治也,阅者慎勿忽诸。
治蝎子咬方
取家子桃花,或连叶捣研取汁,贴敷其痛立止。又家子桃,亦名架子桃。
解砒霜毒方
取薜荔嫩叶与嫩枝,捣研取汁,多多服之自愈。薜荔即俗名爬墙虎,蔓藤大叶丛生。又用防风四两,井水调
服,亦可解砒霜毒,此系《阅微草堂》方也。余亦未经试验,姑存之以备用。
解鸦片毒方
取灰猛养(系西药)三钱。阴阳水化开,灌入摇之,使吐自愈。又法,用硼砂灌之,亦最见效。
治吞金方
取蛴螬一二枚,捣研灌下,则金自溶化,不致杀人。按蛴螬鸡笼内粪下,与各肥地内均有。
治蛇咬方
取重楼(药名。一名七叶一枝花)用醋研之敷伤痕上,其痛立止。但重楼必须真者,否则不效。又余在正阳
时,曾治一被蛇咬者,为之内服五灵脂五钱,雄黄三钱,白芷三钱,水调服。外敷碘酒,旋即痛止。余究不知二
者,是谁治愈,姑存之以备参考。
解食盐毒方
服盐过多,则血脉凝滞,亦能杀人。取豆浆(未用石膏点入者)多多服之,其毒即解。
治吞针方
取木炭之黑皮,研细末服之。其针自随炭皮裹着,从大便下。
陈飞霞说:小儿可能因为跌倒摔伤,或被刀斧等利器割破皮肤,风邪暗中侵袭,受伤部位发生肿胀,这叫做破伤风。应当迅速治疗,否则就会引发痉挛(抽搐)。

《黄帝内经》说:各种疼痛、瘙痒、疮疡,都属于心火。陈飞霞说:世间各种疮疡、瘙痒、疖子、疥癣,以小儿最为多见,难道是因为小儿稚阳纯气,容易受到岁运火邪的克制吗?还是因为小儿无知无觉,寒温调节不当所致呢?又有父母遗留的毒气,成为孩子终身的危害,怎能不加以治疗呢?小儿刚出生时,全身长满虫疥,以及流水状的疮疡,都是胎毒所致。千万不要进行外治,适宜内服胡麻丸。如果错误地外用搽洗,逼迫毒气进入腹部,导致腹胀,这是危重的证候。此时急服解毒汤为佳。凡是头面及全身都有疮疡,原本没有经过搽洗,但疮疡突然平复,反而加重痰喘、呼吸急促的,切不可使用泻下法,适宜用连翘丸来解表托毒。小儿未满周岁,无论何种疮疥,都不宜搽洗,总以胡麻丸为主治方法,最为稳妥。小儿生痈毒、肿疖,都是气血凝滞,火热乘虚而入所致,内服大补汤,外用紫金锭涂抹。颈部淋巴结结核肿胀,将要发热的,内服胡麻丸,外用五倍子研末,醋水调匀敷贴,一天更换两次为妙。

接骨方
涂蔚生说:小儿最喜欢搬东西上高处,所以跌打骨折的事情也最多。医书中的接骨方法本来很多,但要么珍贵难买,要么是乡间仓促之间难以辨认的偏方。想要找到简便易辨、平稳且最有效的办法,颇为不易。我在正阳时,有一位宋姓人士,施予接骨丹,远近的人都去求取,效果显著。然而他对此方保守秘密,坚决不肯轻易示人。我多方打听,才得知此方是锅烟(药名百草霜)和砖头灰。我深深痛恨中国这种无意识的严守秘密,阻碍医学进步,不能使全国民众受益。谨将此法写出来,以为民众及医生开创先例。其方法分为未断和已断两种情况。未断者,用磨得极细并过筛的砖头灰(以窑门口经火处烧制的为佳)及锅烟,每种按一岁一分的量,用黄酒冲服,使其尽量出汗。已断者,加花蜘蛛一只,按一岁一个的量,与砖头灰、锅烟一起用黄酒冲服。如果是隔日受伤的,须先用全当归按一岁一分的量,用黄酒冲服,然后再服锅烟及砖头灰,自然就能接合了。
治疯狗咬方
涂蔚生说:疯狗的毒性最剧烈,被咬的人也最严重,患此病的人很多。如果没有良方治疗,往往主张以毒攻毒,这并不是平易稳妥的治疗方法。我得到人参败毒散加地榆、紫竹根的方法,试用多次,收效如击鼓应声般迅速,确实是珍贵的治疗方法。

取薜荔的嫩叶与嫩枝,捣碎研磨取汁,多多服用即可自愈。薜荔即俗名爬墙虎,蔓藤大叶丛生。又用防风四两,井水调服,也可以解除砒霜毒,这是《阅微草堂笔记》中的方子。我也未曾试验,暂且保存以备后用。
解鸦片毒方
取灰猛养(系西药)三钱。用阴阳水化开,灌入并摇动,使其呕吐后即可自愈。另一方法,用硼砂灌服,也最有效。
治吞金方
取蛴螬一二枚,捣碎研磨灌服,金子自然会溶化,不会致人死亡。据查,蛴螬在鸡笼粪下和各肥地内均有。
治蛇咬方
取重楼(药名。又名七叶一枝花),用醋研磨后敷于伤痕上,疼痛立即停止。但重楼必须是真品,否则无效。另外,我在正阳时,曾治疗一名被蛇咬伤者,内服五灵脂五钱,雄黄三钱,白芷三钱,水调服。外敷碘酒,随即疼痛停止。我终究不知道这两者是谁治愈的,暂且保存以供参考。
解食盐毒方
服用盐过多,会导致血脉凝滞,也能致人死亡。取豆浆(未用石膏点制的)多多服用,毒素即可解除。
治吞针方
取木炭的黑皮,研磨成细末服用。针自然会随着炭皮包裹,从大便排出。
Chen Feixia stated: Infants may suffer from falls or cuts by knives and axes, allowing wind pathogens to secretly invade. Swelling occurs at the injury site, which is termed "Po Shang Feng" (Broken Injury Wind / Tetanus). It should be treated promptly; otherwise, spasms (Jing) will develop.
Internally administer Shufeng Huoxue San (Wind-Dispersing and Blood-Activating Powder), and externally apply Zijin Ding (Purple Gold锭/Plaster).
Shufeng Huoxue San treats infant tetanus, whether spasms have already occurred or not.

Grind all ingredients into a fine powder. Mix with glutinous rice paste to form pill ingots. Grind with water and apply topically. Commercial products are available, so self-preparation is unnecessary, but beware of counterfeits.
The *Classic* states: All pain, itching, sores, and ulcers belong to Heart Fire. Chen Feixia said: Among all sores, itching, boils, and scabies in the world, infants suffer most frequently. Is it because their tender yang and pure qi are easily attacked by the fire of the annual cycle? Or is it due to their ignorance, leading to improper regulation of cold and warmth? Furthermore, there is residual toxicity from parents that becomes a lifelong harm to the child. How can this be left untreated? When infants are first born, if they have widespread insect-like scabies or weeping sores, these are all fetal toxins. Do not use external treatments; internally administer Huma Wan (Hemp Seed Pill). If one mistakenly uses topical washes, it forces the toxin into the abdomen, causing abdominal distension, which is a critical condition. In such cases, urgently administering Jiedu Tang (Detoxification Decoction) is best. For any sores on the head, face, or body that were not previously washed but suddenly flatten out, accompanied by increased phlegm, wheezing, and rapid breathing, do not use purgatives. Instead, use Lianqiao Wan (Forsythia Pill) to resolve the exterior and expel the toxin. For infants under one year old, regardless of the type of sore or scabies, topical washing is contraindicated. The primary treatment should always be Huma Wan, which is very safe. For infant carbuncles, toxic swellings, and boils, which result from blood and qi stagnation exacerbated by heat and fire, internally administer Dabu Tang (Great Tonifying Decoction) and externally apply Zijin Ding. For swollen lymph nodes in the neck that are about to cause fever, internally administer Huma Wan and externally apply Wubeizi powder mixed with vinegar and water, changing the application twice daily for optimal effect.
*Jicheng* Huma Wan treats infant wind-sores, scabies, and tinea.

Bone-Setting Formula
Tu Weisheng said: Infants love to climb high while carrying objects, so falls and fractures are common. Although medical texts contain many bone-setting methods, they are either expensive and hard to obtain or obscure folk remedies difficult to identify in emergencies. Finding a method that is simple, easy to identify, stable, and highly effective is not easy. While I was in Zhengyang, a Mr. Song offered a bone-setting elixir, sought after by people from near and far for its remarkable efficacy. However, he kept the formula secret and refused to share it. Through persistent inquiry, I learned the formula consists of Guoyan (soot from cooking pots, also known as Baicaoshuang) and brick ash. I deeply regret this unconscious secrecy in China, which hinders medical progress and denies benefits to the public. I record this method here to pioneer for the public and physicians. The method distinguishes between incomplete and complete fractures. For incomplete fractures, use finely ground and sifted brick ash (preferably from kiln doors exposed to fire) and soot. Dosage is one fen per year of age for each ingredient, taken with yellow wine to induce sweating. For complete fractures, add one flower spider per year of age, taken together with brick ash and soot in yellow wine. If the fracture occurred a day prior, first take Quan Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) at one fen per year of age in yellow wine, then take the soot and brick ash, and the bone will naturally knit.
Formula for Mad Dog Bites
Tu Weisheng said: The poison of mad dogs is the most severe, and bites are particularly dangerous. Many suffer from this. Without a good formula, practitioners often advocate "using poison to treat poison," which is not a mild or safe approach. I obtained a method using Renshen Baidu San (Ginseng Detoxification Powder) added with Diyü (Sanguisorbae Radix) and Zizhugen (Bamboo Root). I have tested it repeatedly with results as immediate as striking a drum. It is indeed a precious treatment.
Renshen Baidu San Added with Diyü and Zizhugen
Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) Qianghuo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix) Duhuo (Angelicae Pubescentis Radix) Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix) Qianhu (Peucedani Radix) Zhike (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus) Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix) Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma) Fuling (Poria) Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) Diyü (Sanguisorbae Radix) Zizhugen (Bamboo Root)
Tu Weisheng said: If Zizhugen is unavailable, other bamboo roots can be used in larger quantities. After taking this, there is no pain, hematochezia, or hematuria, nor are there taboos against wind, crossing rivers, or eating dog meat. This is truly a mild treatment; readers must not ignore it.
Formula for Scorpion Bites
Take peach blossoms from domestic trees, or crush them with leaves to extract juice, and apply to the painful area for immediate relief. Domestic peach trees are also called trellis peaches.
Formula for Arsenic Poisoning
Take fresh leaves and tender branches of Ficus pumila (Bìlì, commonly known as creeping fig), crush and grind to extract juice, and drink generously for self-healing. Ficus pumila is commonly known as creeping fig, a vine with large clustered leaves. Alternatively, use 4 liang of Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix) mixed well water for oral administration to detoxify arsenic. This is a formula from *Yuewei Caotang Biji*. I have not tested it myself but keep it for reference.
Formula for Opium Poisoning
Take 3 qian of Grey Mengyang (a Western medicine). Dissolve in Yin-Yang water (mixed hot and cold water), administer orally, and shake until vomiting occurs, leading to recovery. Another method is to administer Borax (Pengsha), which is also highly effective.
Formula for Ingesting Gold
Take 1-2 earthworms (Qilao), crush and grind, and administer orally. The gold will dissolve naturally and will not kill the person. Earthworms are found under chicken coops and in fertile soil.
Formula for Snake Bites
Take Chonglou (Paris polyphylla, also known as Seven-Leaf-One-Flower), grind with vinegar, and apply to the wound for immediate pain relief. Chonglou must be authentic, otherwise it is ineffective. Additionally, while in Zhengyang, I treated a snake bite victim by internally administering 5 qian of Wulingzhi (Trogopteri Dung), 3 qian of Xionghuang (Realgar), and 3 qian of Baizhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix), mixed with water. Externally applied iodine tincture. Pain stopped immediately. I do not know who cured these two cases, so I record them for reference.
Formula for Salt Poisoning
Excessive salt intake causes blood vessel stagnation and can be fatal. Drink plenty of soy milk (not coagulated with gypsum) to detoxify.
Formula for Ingesting Needles
Take the black skin of charcoal, grind into a fine powder, and ingest. The needle will be wrapped by the charcoal powder and pass out through the stool.
