患湿病的人，只有头部出汗，背部强直，想要盖被子靠近火源，如果过早使用攻下法，则会出现呃逆，胸满，小便不利，舌上有滑苔，这是因为丹田有热，胸中有寒，口渴想喝水，但不能喝，口燥烦闷。
患湿病的人如果被攻下，额头出汗，微喘，小便通利的死；如果腹泻不止的也死。
问曰：风湿相搏，全身都疼痛，按理应当出汗而解，正值阴雨天气不停，医生说此病可发汗，发汗后病不愈的原因是什么？老师说：发其汗，汗出太多的，只是风气去了，湿气还在，所以不愈。如果治疗风湿，发其汗，只要微微似欲出汗的样子，风湿才能俱去。

Chapter 8: Pulse and Symptom Management of Heat Diseases
Heat diseases arise from external invasion or internal generation. External heat can migrate; internal heat has a fixed location. It does not follow meridian transmission order but resides where it combines. It resembles Warmth diseases but originates differently. Some transmit meridians and transform into heat; latent Qi transforms into warmth. Physicians often fail to understand this, treating them as one entity, which kills people endlessly. I record these points for future sages.

If no sweat, repeat according to previous method. If still no sweat, shorten the interval slightly, finishing three doses within half a day. For severe cases, administer day and night, observing for one shichen (two hours). If symptoms persist after one dose, prepare another. If no sweat occurs, continue to two or three doses.

Patients with chronic dampness only sweat on the head, have stiff back, desire to cover themselves and face fire.

Thirst for water but inability to drink, dry mouth and vexation.
If patients with chronic dampness are purged, sweating on the forehead, slight asthma, and free urination indicate death. If diarrhea persists, death also ensues.
Question: Wind-Dampness binding causes whole-body pain. Normally, sweating resolves it. On rainy days, the physician says sweating is indicated, but the disease does not resolve. Why? Master says: Profuse sweating expels only Wind, leaving Dampness behind, hence no resolution. To treat Wind-Dampness, induce slight sweating so that both Wind and Dampness are expelled.
