,录出以补其遗。璐曰∶胎中鹿,其嘴尾蹄 与生鹿无异者为真,其色淡形瘦者为鹿胎,若

《物理小识》记载:老虎全身皆可入药,但本草书籍中未记载虎油的疗效。我在猎户那里取来虎油涂抹治疗腊梨疮(一种皮肤溃烂病症),一两次即可治愈。
治疗因殴打导致重伤濒死、饮食不进、大小便不通的症状,这是瘀血阻滞在心胸部位,性命垂危,可以使用此方:虎胆五分,去掉外皮,用陈年黄酒在碗中研磨成细末;白茯苓二钱,研成粉末,用热陈酒调匀灌服,若能排出瘀血便可不死。
治疗头部被打碎骨盖的方子:用虎脂一两,浸泡在优质的热酒中,待其完全融化后服用,以出汗为度。如果患处呈现青色则无法医治。
治疗反胃不药的良方:虎脂八两,清油一斤,放入瓦瓶中浸泡一个月,密封瓶口,不要漏气;每次取油一两……(原文此处中断)
按语:虎胆和虎脂,《本草纲目》虽然记载了它们的用途,但未提及它们在跌打损伤方面的应用。这两个方子出自无锡华氏的经验记录,并多次试用有效,因此补充说明以应急需。
乳饼 胫骨
李时珍《本草纲目》鹿条下,精、髓、筋、胆、胎、粪,都已详细记载;张璐在《本经逢原》中另列鹿胎一条,辨析颇详且可采纳,录出以补其遗漏。张璐说:胎儿中的鹿,其嘴、尾、蹄与出生后的鹿无异的是真品,颜色淡、身形瘦的是鹿胎,如果颜色深、身形肥的是麋胎,千万不要误用,否则会损伤真阳。另外獐胎与鹿胎相似,但颜色皎白,且其下唇不像鹿那样长于上唇。其他杂兽的胎,与鹿胎总归不相似。入药要选取真品,用酥油炙烤至黄色使用。
气味甘温,无毒。鹿性补阳益精,男子真元不足者适宜服用,不仅鹿茸、鹿角、鹿茎、鹿胎入药,全鹿丸配合大剂量的参、耆、桂、附,能大壮元阳,因为鹿胎纯阳之气未散,是补养天真、滋益少火的良剂,但必须有人参、黄芪、紫河车等佐助,尤为得力。如平素虚寒、下元不足者,加入六味丸中,成为温补精血的重要药物,而没有桂、附辛热伤阴的隐患。只是千万不要使用麋胎,反而损伤天元阳气。
*Wuli Xiaoshi* records: The entire body of the tiger can be used as medicine, but the materia medica does not record the efficacy of Tiger Oil. I obtained tiger oil from hunters to apply to "Lali sores" (a type of skin ulceration), which healed in one or two applications.
For treating severe injuries from beating where the patient is near death, unable to eat or drink, and suffering from constipation and urinary retention, this indicates blood stasis obstructing the heart region, with life hanging by a thread. This prescription may be used: Tiger Gallbladder (Hu Dan) 5 fen, remove the outer skin, grind finely into powder using aged yellow wine in a bowl; Poria (Bai Fuling) 2 qian, grind into powder, mix with hot aged wine and administer orally. If the stasis is expelled, death can be avoided.
Prescription for shattered skull cap from beating: Use 1 liang of Tiger Fat (Hu Zhi), soak it in good quality hot wine until fully dissolved, then take orally. The treatment is considered effective when sweating occurs. If the affected area turns blue/black, it is incurable.
Excellent prescription for regurgitation/vomiting without medication: 8 liang of Tiger Fat (Hu Zhi), 1 jin of clear oil, soak in a clay jar for one month, seal tightly to prevent leakage; each time use 1 liang of oil... [Text cuts off here]
Note: Although *Bencao Gangmu* records the uses of Tiger Gallbladder (Hu Dan) and Tiger Fat (Hu Zhi), it does not mention their application in traumatic injuries. These two prescriptions come from the empirical records of the Hua family in Xishan and have been tested successfully multiple times; thus, this supplement is provided for emergency use.
Milk Cake / Tibia Bone
In Li Shizhen's *Bencao Gangmu*, under the Deer entry, deer essence, marrow, sinew, gallbladder, fetus, and feces are all comprehensively recorded. Zhang Lu, in *Benjing Fengyuan*, lists a separate entry for Deer Fetus (Lu Tai), providing detailed analysis that is worth adopting. It is recorded here to fill the omission. Zhang Lu states: A fetal deer whose snout, tail, and hooves are indistinguishable from those of an adult deer is genuine. Those with pale color and thin build are Deer Fetus (Lu Tai). If the color is dark and the build is fat, it is Elk Fetus (Mi Tai); do not mistake them, as doing so can damage true Yang Qi. Additionally, Cheek Fetus (Zhang Tai) resembles Deer Fetus but is bright white, and its lower lip is not longer than its upper lip like that of a deer. Fetuses of other miscellaneous beasts are generally dissimilar to Deer Fetus. For medicinal use, select the genuine product and roast with butter until yellow.
Flavor and nature: Sweet, warm, non-toxic. The deer nature tonifies Yang and benefits essence; it is suitable for men with deficiency of true Yuan Qi. Not only are antlers, horns, stems, and fetuses used as medicine, but Quanlu Wan (Complete Deer Pill) combined with large doses of Ginseng (Shen), Astragalus (Qi), Cinnamon Twig (Gui), and Aconite Root (Fu) greatly strengthens Yuan Yang. Since the Deer Fetus retains pure Yang Qi unscattered, it is an excellent agent for nourishing innate truth and benefiting the "fire of vitality" (Shao Huo). However, it must be assisted by herbs such as Ginseng (Shen), Astragalus (Qi), and Placenta Humanis (Heche) to be particularly effective. For those with chronic deficiency-cold and insufficiency of the lower Yuan, adding it to Liuwei Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia) makes it a key medicine for warming and tonifying essence and blood, without the risk of Yin injury caused by the acrid-hot nature of Cinnamon Twig (Gui) and Aconite Root (Fu). One must strictly avoid using Elk Fetus (Mi Tai), as it would instead damage the Tian Yuan (Heavenly Origin) Yang Qi.
