壬子年，在毗陵有姓马人鬻油，久不见，因询其亲，云∶宿患肾脏风，今一足发肿如瓠
，自腰以下，钜细通为一律，痛不可忍，卧欲转侧，则两人挟持方可动，或者欲以铍刀决之
。予曰∶未可，予有药。当合以赠，如上法服之。辰巳间下脓如水晶者数升，实时痛止肿退
。一月后尚拄拐而行，予再以赤乌散令涂贴其膝方愈。后十年过毗陵，率其子列拜以谢。云

曾经看到一本医书中论述水蛊两种疾病，脐腹四肢全部肿胀的称为“水”，只有腹胀而四肢不太肿胀的称为“蛊”。曾遇到一位患蛊病的表亲妇人，我判断不可使用泻下法，应当补益脾气。如果不听从，死后入棺时，腹部与棺盖齐平。治疗蛊病适宜用石中黄丸。（方剂在卷后）
连珠甘遂（一两） 木鳖子（两个，一雌一雄，去壳，研碎）
以上药材研为细末，取猪腰子二个剖开，将药末一钱均匀撒在上面，用湿纸多层包裹，在慢火上煨熟，放温。五更初细细咀嚼，用米汤送服，积水多则腹泻多，积水少则腹泻少，适宜吃软饭调养。如果只患一只脚，务必查看左右，如左脚患病就用左边的腰子，右脚患病就用右边的腰子，药末只需一钱。
壬子年，在毗陵有一位姓马的人卖油，很久没见，于是询问他的亲人，说：他宿患肾脏风，现在一只脚肿得像葫芦一样，从腰部以下，粗细完全一致，疼痛难以忍受，想翻身侧卧，必须两个人搀扶才能移动，有人想用铍刀切开排脓。我说：不可以，我有药。应当配制好赠送给他，按照上述方法服用。辰巳时段排出像水晶一样的脓液数升，顿时疼痛停止、肿胀消退。一个月后还拄着拐杖行走，我再让他用赤乌散涂抹贴敷膝盖才痊愈。十年后经过毗陵，他率领儿子列队拜谢。说：当初的脚疾至今未再发作，虽然是多年的肾脏风也已消失，现在健步走不再痛苦了。
治疗肾脏风上攻下注，生疮并癣。

Shengma (Rhizoma Cimicifugae, one liang, remove the rhizome base) Niubangzi (Fructus Arctii, two liang, stir-fried) Renshen (Radix Ginseng, half a liang, remove the rhizome base)
Crush the above ingredients into coarse powder. For each dose, take three qian, add one zhan of water, and decoct until seven-tenths remains. Take at any time. This medicine can reduce swelling and dispel wind without damaging the healthy qi; it may be taken three times a day.
I once read in a medical book discussing two diseases: Shui (Water distension) and Gu (Gu distension). When the umbilical abdomen and all four limbs are swollen, it is called Shui; when there is only abdominal distension but the limbs are not significantly swollen, it is called Gu. I once encountered a female relative suffering from Gu disease. I judged that purgation was contraindicated and that tonifying the Spleen was necessary. Had she not listened, after death, her abdomen would have been level with the coffin lid when placed inside. The appropriate treatment for Gu disease is Shizhonghuang Wan (Stone Yellow Pill) (formula is at the end of the volume).
Lianzhu Gansui (Radix et Rhizoma Euphorbiae Kansui, one liang) Mubiezi (Semen Strychni, two seeds, one male and one female, remove shells, grind)
Grind the above ingredients into fine powder. Take two pig kidneys, split them open, sprinkle one qian of the powder evenly on them, wrap tightly with several layers of wet paper, and simmer over slow heat until cooked. Allow to cool to warm. In the early hours of Wugeng (3-5 AM), chew thoroughly and swallow with rice gruel. If there is much accumulated fluid, there will be more diarrhea; if little, less diarrhea. Soft rice should be consumed for recuperation. If only one foot is affected, observe left and right carefully: if the left foot is diseased, use the left kidney; if the right, use the right kidney. The powder amount remains one qian.
In the year Renzi, in Piling, there was an oil merchant surnamed Ma whom I had not seen for a long time. Upon asking his relatives, they said: "He has a chronic history of Kidney Wind, and now one leg is swollen like a gourd. From the waist down, the circumference is uniform throughout. The pain is unbearable. To turn or shift position requires two people to hold him. Some suggested using a Biedao (scalpel) to incise it." I said, "Not yet. I have medicine. I will prepare it and give it to you. Take it as described above." Between Chen and Si hours (7-11 AM), he excreted several sheng of pus resembling crystal. Immediately, the pain ceased and the swelling subsided. One month later, he still walked with a cane. I then instructed him to apply Chiwu San (Red Horse Powder) to his knee, which led to complete healing. Ten years later, passing through Piling, he bowed deeply with his son to express gratitude. He said: "The foot ailment has not recurred since then. Even the chronic Kidney Wind has disappeared. Now I walk vigorously without pain."
Treating Kidney Wind attacking upwards and settling downwards, causing sores and tinea.
