病症已见而未成者。张宗朝运使家方，卢美中通判说。
稻草根细切
上浓煎，不以时候，如熟水饮之。
袁州寄居武节郎李应，本相州法司，尝以吏役事。韩似夫枢密兵火后，忽于宜春见之云∶
从
入空无人所居之室，忽觉心动，背寒凛凛，遂感劳瘵之疾，垂殆，传于其次，次室女也，长
子既死，女病寻亟，继又传于第三子，症候一同。应大恐，即祷于城隍神，每日设面饭，以
斋云水，冀遇异人，且许谢钱三十万。数日因往市中开元寺前，有一人衣俗士服，自称贫道
，踵足而呼曰∶团练闻宅上苦传尸劳，贫道有一药方奉传。同入寺内，问其姓名，不答，口
授云云，应即假笔书之。道人言欲过湖南。应留之饭，云已吃饭了，欲赠之钱，云自有盘缠。
临行又言∶此药以天灵盖、虎粪内骨为主，切须仔细寻觅青蛇脑，如无亦可服药，前一日须
盛享城隍，求为阴助。应曰∶既求之于神，何必用药？道人曰∶不然。即揖别西去。应以事
颇异，敬如其言治药。既成，设五神位，各具饮馔十品，如待宾客，以享城隍。又别列酒食
，以犒阴狱，仍于其家设使者一位，于病榻之前。服药食顷，脏腑大下，得虫七枚，色如红
燠肉而腹白，长约一寸，阔七、八分，前锐后方，腹下近前有口，身之四周有足，若鱼骨，
细如针尖而曲，已死，试取火焚之，以铁火筋扎刺不能入，病顿减。后又服一剂，得小虫四

天灵盖（三钱，酥炙黄色，为末秤） 虎粪（内骨一钱，人骨为上，兽骨次之，杀虎，
大肠内者亦可用，同青蛇脑、小豆许，或绿豆许，同酥涂炙，色转为度，无蛇脑只醋炙亦得）

病症已经显现但尚未形成（严重）的情况。这是张宗朝运使家的方子，由卢美中通判讲述。
稻草根，细细切碎。
以上药物浓煎，不分时候，像喝熟水一样饮用。
袁州寄居的武节郎李应，原本是相州法司，曾经因为吏役的事情（被牵连）。韩似夫枢密在兵火之后，忽然在宜春见到他说：
“从……进入空无一人的居所，忽然觉得心跳加速，背部寒冷战栗，于是感染了劳瘵之疾，生命垂危，传染给他的次子，次子是女儿。长子已经死去，女儿病情危急，接着又传染给第三子，症状相同。我非常恐惧，于是向城隍神祈祷，每天准备面食饭食，供养云游僧道，希望遇到异人，并且许诺酬谢钱三十万。几天后，我去市中开元寺前，有一个人穿着俗士的衣服，自称贫道，跟着脚后跟喊道：‘团练听说府上苦于传染尸劳，贫道有一个药方奉献传授。’一同进入寺内，问他的姓名，他不回答，口头传授说……，李应就借笔记录下来。道人说要经过湖南。李应挽留他吃饭，他说已经吃过了，想送他钱，他说自己有盘缠。临走时又说：‘这个药以天灵盖、虎粪内的骨头为主，务必仔细寻找青蛇脑，如果没有也可以服药，前一天必须丰盛地祭祀城隍，祈求阴间帮助。’李应说：‘既然向神灵祈求，何必用药？’道人说：‘不是这样的。’于是作揖告别向西而去。李应觉得事情颇为奇异，恭敬地按照他的话制药。制成后，设立五位神位，各自准备十种饮食，像招待宾客一样，用来祭祀城隍。另外摆放酒食，用来犒劳阴间的狱卒，仍然在他家里设立一位使者位，放在病榻之前。服药不久，脏腑剧烈排泄，排出虫子七只，颜色像红肉而腹部白色，长约一寸，宽七八分，前端尖后端方，腹部下方近前有口，身体四周有足，像鱼骨，细如针尖且弯曲，已经死了，试着用火焚烧它，用铁火签扎刺也进不去，病势顿时减轻。后来又服了一剂，排出小虫四只，从此便安宁了，到现在已经十年，肌肤润泽，不再有疾病，道人后来终究没有再来。
天灵盖（三钱，酥炙至黄色，研为末，称量） 虎粪（内骨一钱，人骨为上品，兽骨次之，杀虎，大肠内的也可以使用，同青蛇脑、小豆大小或绿豆大小，同酥涂炙，颜色转变为止，没有蛇脑只用醋炙也可以）
鳖甲（取尖端，研碎，以上药物研为末，用绢筛过） 青蒿（取靠近梢头三、四寸，细切，六两） 豉（三百粒） 葱白（二十一枚，打破） 东引桃、柳、李、桑枝（各七茎，粗如筷子头大，各长七寸，细切） 麝香（一钱一分，另研为细末）
以上先将青蒿、桃柳李桑叶、枫叶、葱、豉，用官省升量取三升水，煎至半升左右，去渣，加入安息香、天灵盖、虎粪内骨、鳖甲、桃仁与童子小便同煎取汁，去渣，得到四五合药液，将槟榔、麝香同研均匀，调成一次服用量，早晨温服，用被子覆盖出汗，恐怕汗中有细虫，用帛子测试，然后焚烧此帛，情况相同。十来天后，气体消散，再进一服，根据前面方法焚烧丢弃，直到无虫为止此药。如果病人未危急，可以取得安宁；如果已危急，等到生命垂危时，则让其次已传染者服用，先病者虽然不可救，后来的人绝不传染。此方传给了枢密的孙子，诏州史君希道。
Deficiency consumption (Xu Lao), general tonification, Qi disorders, night sweats.
Conditions where symptoms have appeared but the disease has not yet fully formed. This is a prescription from the household of Zhang Zong, Transport Commissioner of Chao Prefecture, as recounted by Lu Meizhong, Vice Prefect of Mei Prefecture.
Roots of rice straw, finely chopped.
Decoct these with strong heat, drink at any time like boiled water.
Li Ying, Military Officer (Wujie Lang) residing in Yuanzhou, was originally a judicial officer in Xiangzhou and was once involved due to official duties. Han Sifu, Privy Censor, after the fires of war, suddenly saw him in Yichun and said:
"Entering an empty, uninhabited room, I suddenly felt my heart palpitate and my back chill severely, thus contracting the disease of consumption (Lao Zhai). My life was in danger, and it spread to my second child, who was a daughter. After my eldest son died, my daughter's illness became critical, and subsequently, it spread to my third son, with identical symptoms. I was terrified, so I prayed to the City God (Chenghuang), offering noodle meals daily to support wandering monks and Taoists, hoping to meet a miraculous person, and promised a reward of 300,000 cash. A few days later, while going to the market in front of Kaiyuan Temple, a man dressed in secular clothes called himself 'Poor Taoist' and shouted following behind me: 'Commissioner Li, hearing that your household suffers from infectious corpse-labor (Shi Lao), this poor Taoist has a prescription to offer.' We entered the temple together; when asked for his name, he did not answer, but orally transmitted [the formula]... Li Ying borrowed a pen to write it down. The Taoist said he wished to pass through Hunan. Li Ying invited him to stay for a meal, but he said he had already eaten and declined money, stating he had his own travel expenses. Before leaving, he added: 'This medicine primarily uses the human skull cap (Tian Ling Gai) and tiger feces containing bones. You must carefully seek out green snake brains. If unavailable, you may still take the medicine, but on the previous day, you must offer a lavish sacrifice to the City God, seeking assistance from the underworld.' Li Ying said, 'If we seek help from the deity, why use medicine?' The Taoist replied, 'Not so.' Then he bowed and departed westward. Finding the matter quite strange, Li Ying respectfully followed his instructions to prepare the medicine. Once prepared, he set up altars for five deities, providing ten types of food and drink for each, treating them like guests, to sacrifice to the City God. He also arranged wine and food separately to appease the spirits of the underworld prisons, and placed a seat for an envoy in his house, in front of the sickbed. After taking the medicine, there was a severe purging from the viscera, and seven worms were expelled. They were red like meat with white bellies, about one cun long and seven to eight fen wide, pointed at the front and square at the back, with a mouth near the front underside, and legs around the body resembling fish bones, fine as needle tips and curved. They were dead. Trying to burn them with fire, iron spikes could not pierce them. The illness immediately decreased. Another dose was taken later, expelling four small worms. From then on, he recovered completely. It has been ten years now; his skin is lustrous, and he has no further illness. The Taoist never returned."
Human Skull Cap (Tian Ling Gai) (3 qian, fried with butter until yellow, ground into powder and weighed) Tiger Feces (containing bone, 1 qian; human bone is best, animal bone is secondary; obtained from killing a tiger, those from the large intestine can also be used. Mix with green snake brain, size of a mung bean or adzuki bean, coat with butter and fry until color changes; if no snake brain, vinegar-frying is acceptable) Turtle Shell (Bie Jia) (use the tip, grind; above ingredients ground into powder and sifted through silk) Green Mugwort (Qing Hao) (take the top three to four cun of the branch, finely cut, 6 liang) Fermented Soybeans (Chi) (300 grains) Scallion White (Cong Bai) (21 stalks, broken open) Peach, Willow, Plum, and Mulberry branches growing eastward (Dong Yin Tao, Liu, Li, Sang Zhi) (7 stems each, thickness like a chopstick head, length 7 cun each, finely cut) Musk (She Xiang) (1 qian 1 fen, separately ground into fine powder)
First, decoct Qing Hao, leaves of peach, willow, plum, mulberry, maple leaves, scallions, and Chi in 3 sheng of water (measured with official standard sheng) until reduced to approximately half a sheng. Strain the dregs. Add Anxi Xiang (Styrax), Tian Ling Gai, tiger feces with bone, Bie Jia (turtle shell), Tao Ren (Peach Kernel), and urine from a young boy. Decoct together to obtain juice. Strain the dregs to yield 4-5 he of liquid. Grind Bin Lang (Areca Seed) and She Xiang (Musk) uniformly together, mix into one dose. Take warm in the morning. Cover with blankets to induce sweating. Suspect that fine worms may be in the sweat; test with silk cloth, then burn the cloth. Do the same for subsequent instances. After about ten days, the pathogenic qi dissipates. Administer another dose, burning and discarding according to the previous method, until no worms are found, then stop this medicine. If the patient is not critical, peace can be achieved. If critically ill, wait until death is imminent, then let the subsequently infected family members take it. Although the first patient cannot be saved, subsequent infections will definitely be prevented. This prescription was passed to the grandson of the Privy Censor, Shi Jun Xidao of Zhaozhou.
